We will provide consultation to implementing and/or successfully completing a
capital or endowment campaign.
Feasibility Studies
The process used in discovering from your key constituency the likelihood and
amount of probable support for your institution. This includes discovering how
these donors view your institution and leadership. This study will determine the
readiness and likelihood of successfully implementing a campaign.
Major Gift Training
The process used in seeking gifts of size for your institution. This process is
well tested and included the "how to" of researching, rating groups, starting a
program, making the ASK, involving volunteers, and much more.
Planned Giving
We can lead your organization in taking steps you can use to create a planned
giving program that will help develop your endowment and build your future.
There are simple steps that any organization can carry out. If you would like to
take your planned giving to the next level and develop a full scale program we
can assist you as well.

We can lead your Board and Staff in their quest for qualified development and
chief operating officer searches. We will find talented, capable, and dedicated
professionals who will lead your organization into the future.
Fundraising for Churches and Denominations
We understand the needs and mission of the church and can assist you with your
planning for the future and the building consensus for a capital campaign or
endowment building. We have staff with experience and a strong understanding of
the needs of churches and denominations.
Development Audits
The conducting of an in-depth study of your organization to determine its
strength and areas for improvement, as well as to refocus efforts to better use
the organization's current resources and then provide recommendations on how to
expand those resources.
Creating a Monthly Giving Program
We have developed a process to work with organizations to create a monthly
giving program that will add regular monthly donors to your donor base and also
build your needed annual support to fulfill your mission.
Training Your Leadership
Organizations often have potential leaders within that aren't giving the
leadership expected from them. We can train your leader(s) to become the
leader(s) necessary to lead your institution into the future.

We guide your Board and Staff in strategically thinking about issues and your
goals. This includes developing written policies, procedures, and job
descriptions to enhance your future development results.

We will train your administrators, Board and other volunteers in major gifts,
capital campaigns, responsibilities of the Board, conflict resolution, and
boardmanship. This includes assessing the effectiveness of your board and
helping your board leadership in identifying others in the community who will
believe in and support your mission.
Customized Workshops
We will arrange and plan, with input from your Board and Staff members,
workshops covering such topics as development, planned giving, and nonprofit
management.

We train the Staff and volunteers of an organization in various aspects of
fundraising and how to work together to accomplish the goals of the
