Fundraising Communications
Individual donors and members. Donors and members are the V.I.P.'s you rely on to keep your organization's doors open and your programs running. To be your champions, they need to know about all your accomplishments and news so they can build enthusiasm and commitment to your cause. Let us help you share your good news by:
- Writing inspiring newsletters, web content and direct appeal letters
- Launching websites, Facebook pages and other social media tools to connect online
Grant funding. While the economic downturn has dramatically increased the need for the kind of services nonprofit agencies provide, the pot of available grant funding has not increased, meaning the grant funding process has become even more competitive. In order to receive grant funding your agency must not only do "the good work" but also must effectively "sell" your organization and program to potential grant funders. We can:
- Research national, state and local foundations and government agencies most likely to fund your organization
- Identify and incorporate "evidence-based" practices likely to strengthen your grant application
- Use a logic model to ensure your program addresses documented community needs and your evaluation process effectively measures the change you anticipate will result from your program
- Prepare a winning state, federal or foundation grant proposal
- Improve your already-written grant proposal
- Draft grant reports sharing your program results with funders
- Provide you and/or your staff with individualized training and mentoring to help you learn to identify the "best" potential funders and how to customizing your grant applications to target a particular funder
