Philanthropy
The funding
You have donor investors. We have proven ideas. The business of philanthropy is changing constantly. Campaigns are not a one-size-fits-all solution. Donors' expectations of organizations are evolving, providing an opportunity for development and advancement professionals to stretch their worldview and thinking. We help organizations navigate an ever more complex marketplace and become a more compelling target for philanthropic investment. We help organizations identify new channels of funding. We help you transform your thinking with a donor-centric approach to philanthropy.
Strategy
The interpretation
What are the right questions to ask when working to achieve your vision? We take a research-based approach to develop a context for short- and long-term success, considering the forces of change acting on your organization. Each strategy is as unique as each organization - ensuring alignment with how your teams behave and perform. We help organizations become agile to navigate a complex environment, interpret data to shape behavior, deepen communication and engagement to allow for influence and adaptability.
Planning
The mechanics
Setting the direction, gaining agreement, building the operation, monitoring performance, engaging key stakeholders - these are the pillars of the planning process to ensure a breadth and depth to a successful strategy and vision. We engage with senior leaders from throughout the organization, as well as with board members, donors and volunteers, to build a framework for tactical implementation, host successful planning and training retreats, and engage key stakeholders. Often research-based, these activities bring aspirations and activities into harmony to achieve measured results.
Coaching
The catalyst
Imagine having a thinking-partner who dives with you to the deep end of the pool so that you can imagine new ways to achieve your organization's vision. A counselor who knows you and your organization and brings ideas and research into view, allowing to you see and react differently, more strategically, more successfully. We help senior leaders become successful change catalysts, empowering organizations to fulfill their visions and stand poised for the future.
