Fundraising and Revenue Generation

While non-profits differ, we believe that all benefit from a blend of revenue streams that include:

  • Philanthropy

  • Earned Income

    and, sometimes

  •  Government Revenues

Transitional Leadership

Short - midterm assignments on a national basis to assist organizations through a leadership transition.

  • Vacancies can occur unexpectedly, and Boards of Directors may struggle with finding interim leadership options while they focus on a longer-term solution.

  • Interim leaders can “hold down the fort” assuring that key programming continues for clients, members, guests and others, while also making sure that back-office operations continue, and (if desired) provide an unbiased, 3rd party assessment of strategy, personnel, financial strength, etc. for the Board. 

  • On-site, virtual, or (ideally) a combination of the two

Philanthropy

  • Campaigns

    • Annual (we focus on initiatives with a less than $5M goal)

    • Capital (we focus on initiatives that have goals of $10M or less)
