Development Assessment
It's often hard to know where to start raising more money. First, you need a plan.
​
A comprehensive development assessment will evaluate the following criteria and provide a step-by-step guide for improving your fundraising in prioritized areas:
​
-Brand and reputation
-Fundraising strategy and positioning
-Communication with foundations and major donors
-Building relationships with funders
-Making a solid ask
-Small dollar & individual giving
-Donor database management
-Fundraising collateral materials, such as pitch documents, reports, social media, and websites
-Grant writing and administration
-Overall financial health
Grant writing
We provide limited grant writing services. With more than a decade of experience, we can help dash that proposal off in a hurry. Our proposals will tell your story in strong, evocative language, and make sure that deliverables are clear and concrete.
​
Grant writing is charged at an hourly fee scaled to the budget of the organization. We generally recommend grant-writing as part of an overall Development Assessment package.
​
Our primary experience is with private foundations, civic engagement funders, and state & local government, not the federal government.
