Services

Five ways we help your development office grow.

Each engagement has a clear scope, timeline, and fixed fee. Most clients start with an Assessment and continue into a Fractional Director retainer.

01

Development Assessment

Best first step30 days

An honest, data-driven look at where your fundraising program stands today and where the growth is hiding. We review your donor file, revenue history, team, systems, and board engagement, then hand you a written plan you can act on immediately, whether or not you keep working with us.

Campaign Leadership

Project-based

Some seasons call for a focused push. We plan and lead campaigns from the case for support through the final thank-you, working alongside your staff so the skills stay in-house when the campaign ends. Campaigns are billed monthly for as long as the campaign runs, from a three-month year-end push to a two-year capital campaign.
