Talk to us about the fundraising needs at your organization.

TRAINING

Train and coach your staff and volunteers on a variety of fundraising topics.

TRAINING

Select from a variety of fundraising training sessions or have Advancement Advisors customize a topic specifically for your needs. Frequently requested training topics include planned giving and mastering the art of the ask. With deep experience in all aspects of fundraising, our advisors can — and will — create a learning experience that will address your most pressing needs.

STUDY

Before launching your next fundraising project, evaluate the likelihood of success, identify the best strategies and qualify prospective donors.

STUDY

A feasibility study will tell you whether or not the community will support your proposed campaign and help determine an attainable goal and realistic timeframe. Done well, a feasibility study can spark interest with donors and potential campaign volunteers, a critical first step in the cultivation of campaign gifts and the recruitment of campaign leadership.

COACHING

Learn skills, overcome roadblocks, build confidence and achieve your fundraising goals.

COACHING

By working with an experienced fundraising coach, you can build confidence in your fundraising skills, reduce anxiety, grow as a leader and, most importantly, raise more money. Options include regularly scheduled and structured meetings or as-needed calls or emails. Coaching is ideal for executive directors and CEOs, Board members and development directors.

PLAN

Navigate with a plan, bring focus and success to your fundraising efforts.

PLAN

Consider it the GPS for your fundraising success. A written plan helps to bring focus to your fundraising programs, identify priorities and prevent pitfalls. An effective plan details sound strategies for generating a broad base of support from a variety of funding sources to ensure sustainability — from annual, major and planned giving to special events, sponsorship and foundation grants. Your comprehensive fundraising plan will identify how, when, and by whom the strategies will be implemented, with built-in measures for accountability.

BOARD DEVELOPMENT

Discover board strengths and develop strategies that give them confidence in their fundraising abilities.

BOARD DEVELOPMENT

While Board members bring important knowledge and perspectives to the table, fund development may be outside their area of expertise. Advancement Advisors can assess Board members’ knowledge, experience and comfort in their role in fundraising and develop and conduct comprehensive, customized fundraising training programs. Sessions may include lectures, presentations, group exercises and role play.

CAMPAIGNS

Create a sense of urgency around your organization’s mission, raise funds for strategic goals and build your fundraising capacity.

CAMPAIGNS

Advancement Advisors provides an organized and strategic approach to campaign preparation and a step-by-step process for moving successfully through all phases of campaign fundraising.

AUDIT

Evaluate the capacity of your fundraising program, address challenges head-on and build opportunities for future growth.

AUDIT

An audit is a powerful tool to help nonprofit organizations make the most of their fundraising efforts – regardless of budget size and staff resources. The results of a comprehensive fundraising audit will help you and your board set the course for future fundraising success.
