Services

My nonprofit fundraising services include:

Grants Systems - I focus on creating a core of foundation funding support for your organization with my Grants System program (minimum 6-month retainer).  A one-time starter package which includes a listing of ten (10) prospective foundation funders as well as standard grant proposal writing is also offered.

Monthly Giving - Do you offer your donors the convenience of monthly giving? I’ll take the questions out of designing your organization’s monthly giving program, providing you with clear structures and priorities in relation to charitable giving and community support that will have long term benefits for both the donor and your organization.

Direct Mail – New donor acquisition, renewal and lapsed donor campaigns.  Integrated email and social media campaigns offered as well.

Story Development – What’s your organization’s story? No, I’m not talking about your mission statement, your story about your founder or any of the typical nonprofit jargon that’s already likely bored you to tears. I’m talking about how your work impacts your clients, your staff, your community, your board. The story you need to be telling – creatively and consistently. I will provide your organization with a cadre of stories to use in all of your development communications.

Email Marketing, Online Giving and more – Just don’t “get it?”  Online giving is more than slapping a “donate” button on your site and waiting for the dollars to roll in.  Email marketing is more than sending out an email to your subscriber list whenever you want donations.  Without a focused plan for developing your online community all you can hope for is the occasional $25 gift to trickle in.

I’ll develop your entire online strategy, from your “Donate” button to your donor acknowledgment to your email strategies.

Development Director in a Box – Frazzled?  Now is the time to ramp up your fundraising efforts – not cut back!

For qualifying organizations our Development Director in a Box interim staffing program may be right for you. Offering a streamlined, commonsense approach to systematizing your fundraising, GrowConsultingPA will establish your organization’s grants system, design and implement your individual giving, review your database (or assist in the selection of one), review your website and social media plan (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter) and structure your donor communications with an eye to long-term donor retention.

This program is ideal for organizations lacking funding for a full-time development director or between development directors and is available to organizations with annual operating budgets of less than $2 million.
