As a nonprofit leader, you wrestle with one hard truth: your mission's success hinges on funding.

  • Are you stuck in a cycle of piecemeal fundraising, chasing one project at a time with no overarching strategy?

  • Is your team stretched to the breaking point—spend their days scrambling for financial support yet hitting a wall?

  • Do you have a nagging sense that funding opportunities are within reach — but you can't figure out how to access them?

Whatever your challenges, we take the full weight of fundraising off your team’s shoulders—offering partnership, peace of mind, and most importantly, sustainable results.

our core superpowers

  • We navigate the entire grant process for you, from scouting out the best funding opportunities to crafting compelling proposals and handling all the reporting and compliance once you've won. Our goal is to ensure your grant efforts are perfectly aligned with both your mission and your funders' expectations, securing the resources you need to thrive.

  • We mastermind and execute standout fundraising events tailored to your organization's needs. Whether it's a glamorous gala, a charity auction, or an intimate donor reception, we focus on maximizing participant engagement and boosting contributions, making every event a memorable success.

  • We craft and run impactful online crowdfunding campaigns that pull in small donations from a wide audience. Our approach includes strategic planning, engaging content creation, savvy social media marketing, and active donor engagement to hit your campaign goals and beyond. Most importantly, after you hit your goal, we take your data and ensure those donors are integrated in everything you do.

  • Embarking on a major fundraising project? We conduct thorough feasibility studies to gauge your organization's readiness and the potential for success. This critical step assesses donor support, campaign viability, and your capacity to manage a significant fundraising endeavor, ensuring you're set for success.

  • Ever wonder what participants really want? Are your programs reflecting the exact needs of participants?

    Qualitative research studies use tactics like confidential 1:1 interviews to learn what makes your people smile, cringe, and all that’s in between.

    This feedback is invaluable and pushes organizations to thoughtfully improve and transition to the next stage of growth.

  • We innovate fresh pathways for revenue beyond traditional fundraising. Our creative strategies include:

    • Giving circles: fostering communities of donors who pool resources to support causes they care deeply about.

    • Young professionals groups: engaging the next generation of donors through networking and leadership opportunities.

    • Monthly giving programs: establishing programs for regular monthly donations to ensure a consistent revenue flow.

    • Grandparent societies: connecting grandparents with missions that resonate, focusing on educational impact.

    • Alumni societies: mobilizing graduates to support their alma mater or similar institutions collectively.

    • Corporate sponsorship: building partnerships with businesses for mutual benefit through public recognition and beyond.

    • Parlor meetings: hosting intimate gatherings to connect potential donors with your cause.
