Services

Every fundraising campaign is different, but they all start with one common question: what is your long-term goal? Your next question is: how can LKA help? This question has many different answers depending on your goals.

First, we will help you define your objective and make sure you are heading in the right direction. Together, we’ll plan and implement a creative campaign to get there – in the most productive way possible. We’ll then evaluate the results and fine-tune your campaign to earn an even better return next time. It’s an ongoing process designed to achieve your long-term goal, and achieve ours as well: helping nonprofits thrive.

With LKA, you have access to a comprehensive range of fundraising expertise and services, all designed and integrated to help your organization succeed.

Here’s what we don’t do. We don’t sell prepackaged programs that supposedly work for multiple organizations. You have your own particular needs, resources and opportunities. Your program should be tailored for your situation and your market. Whether it’s an annual fund, membership, major giving or capital campaign, we will design a program for you alone. We’ll also train you on how to put it to effective use, empowering your staff to conduct your campaign without our supervision.

Insight linked with imagination

Yes, the principles of fund development still apply today, but technology has opened new windows of opportunity. We can help you decide which ones to tap into to get optimum results, including Internet solicitation, permissive email, special websites and other innovative techniques. As in business, fundraising is evolving with new technology.

One thing that hasn’t changed is the importance of creativity and targeted messaging. Your potential donors face an onslaught of infomania daily. To succeed, your communications must be meaningful and relevant. They must stand out and stimulate action on your behalf. Our creative associates have many years experience developing campaign materials that capture attention and earn a high response rate (and awards in the process).

Today more than ever, fundraising requires insight, experience and imagination. It’s a science and an art. And as our clients will attest, we’re masters at it.
