We are deeply committed to helping community-based, nonprofit organizations raise money and awareness to be successful. We do it by creating compelling campaigns that inspire people to care about your work and support your cause. We believe you can change the world, or at least your corner of it. And when you believe, anything is possible.

Fundraising from the heart and mind

Fundraising has come far from the days of bake sales and form letters. Today, development is a journey, not a destination. It’s an ongoing, strategic process based on sound marketing methodology. The sophisticated methods we utilize are well-tested and proven successful. They involve an integrated mix of multimedia communications, uniquely tailored for you and designed to maximize your fundraising efforts.

With each campaign, we help you craft a meaningful message that will touch the hearts and minds of your market audience. The key is to identify relevant values that you and your potential donors share – and to motivate them to act on their beliefs. It means developing personal relationships with your donors and nurturing them year after year.

Where knowledge meets passion

As consultants with years of experience, we provide a comprehensive range of planning and development services. For over a decade, we have helped hundreds of organizations nationwide raise millions of dollars. Our clients consider us mentors and partners, not just advisors. They include public TV and radio stations, museums, zoos, schools, health and religious organizations, grass-roots advocacy and environmental groups, and many others.

Building close relationships is as important to us as it is to you. Which is why many of our clients have been with us for years. Yes, we’re experts in the business of fundraising. But we’re also individuals like you who have a desire to help others and make our world a better place. Together, we can do it. Believe it!
