Fundraising Strategy + Support

Your mission matters, and you make a difference. You want to spend more time serving your community and less time worrying about funds. You want to raise more resources to have an even greater impact.

Let’s bring your fundraising to the next level.

My Fundraising Strategy Services:

Fundraising doesn’t have to be a dirty word. Your donors are grateful to partner in the critical work of your organization. With strategy and (most importantly!) your mission as our guides, we will spark a culture of philanthropy within your community!

  • Annual appeals are a fundamental component of any strategic development plan. They are simple to execute and have a strong return on investment. I can assist with strategy, copywriting, segmenting, testing, and list management for your digital and print campaigns.

  • Are you building out your development program, but you’re not sure where to start? I can help you strategize, prioritize, and organize a calendar of activities to reach your goals.

  • Don’t forget to say thank you! I can assist with strategy, copywriting, and implementation of creative, impactful stewardship projects.

You are a passionate, wise nonprofit leader. Is investing in fundraising services the best choice for you?

Here’s why strategic fundraising support is worthwhile:

#1 See an immediate return on investment.

According to the 2023 Direct Mail Advertising Global Market Report, the average return on investment for direct mail spending is 322%. Each dollar spent brings in $3.22 in revenue. Imagine the impact this return can spark for your organization!

#2 Be proactive with a yearly development plan.

Work smarter, not harder. Are you tired of releasing last-minute campaigns? A cohesive fundraising strategy with consistent messaging raises more funds for your mission, and it reduces the workload for your team: a win-win.

#3 Reach new audiences.

Build your donor pipeline. More annual fund donors now means more major gift donors later. Invest in your short-term needs and long-term sustainability.

#4 Express gratitude.

It’s the right thing to do, and it pays off. Supporters who now how their gift was used well will continue to give in the future. Thank and cultivate your donors with a robust stewardship strategy.

The best time to step up your fundraising strategy is NOW!
