Bold Asking Requires Bold Vision and Bold Preparation
Over four decades we’ve learned what works and what doesn’t, where to invest resources and how to build engaged boards, leaders and effective teams that sustain high-performing major gift philanthropy programs and a robust culture of philanthropy.
At a time filled with great challenges to achieve goals and develop meaningful relationships with donors, we must think differently about how everyone in our organization is fostering truly meaningful giving!
Transform your fundraising, transform lives.
Whether you’re a healthcare institution conducting “grateful patient” fundraising or an educational, arts organization or social service non-profit developing a major gift pipeline to prepare for a new campaign, we will train, coach, and guide you, your executive team, board or development staff in the art and science of major and principal gift fundraising.
Ultimately, our goal is to partner with you in boldly creating a philanthropic culture, led by your board and executive leaders, that elevates and sustains transformational giving.
Together, we can and will transform your fundraising program so you can transform lives.
