Strategic fundraising design

Getting strategic with your funding

Our strategic fundraising design service helps leaders decide how to allocate internal resources, and how to prioritize and choose where to focus fundraising efforts.

We research and share best practices to examine your funding portfolio and determine a sustainable and effective calibrated level of support from different categories of donors and funders.

Our team will design a high-level fundraising strategy that is  fine-tuned to take advantage of different types of funding sources based on best practice, peer and competition research, and the specific history, capabilities, and resources of your organization. This is a report that includes an optimal funding mix analysis and roadmap, and it will allow you as a leader to make decisions about resource allocation and prioritization in the short and long-term.
