Create the Case

I’ll dig deep into your organization, listen and learn, and evaluate current messaging for donors.  Together, we’ll ask why? and  so what? until we get to the root reasons a donor could be excited to give to your organization.  Then, with your input, I’ll create a simple, compelling explanation for donors to give to your cause.

Prepare the People

I can train and motivate all the people involved, with action-oriented follow-up techniques to help staff and volunteers follow through on their ideas.

Find the Donors

We’ll review your organization’s connections and together create an actionable list of people who can make a difference for your cause.

Secure the Dollars

We’ll work together to create contact plans, reach out to specific people who already care about your cause, and even visit people together.  I will coach you along every step, from identifying the donor and planning the approach, practicing phone calls together, preparing proposals, and even making personal ask visits.  I’ll even remind you about action items we committed to together.

Create Long-term Capacity

I’ll help you create stewardship and involvement processes that ensure donors are thrilled with their wise investment.  I’ll continue to work with you as long as you’re interested and we’re producing results together.

Abundance Mentality

This summer, my garden produced more tomatoes and peppers than I could use.

Like this garden, philanthropy resources abound if they are cultivated.

If we can work for a few months of patient, diligent cultivation, we can create an overflowing harvest!
