Fundraising Consulting Services for Nonprofit Organizations

For an organization to raise critical funding, M. Gale believes it must have a viable development plan. Viable plans require a thorough understanding of the nonprofit’s mission, organizational goals, financial health and current fundraising success.

Through a trust-based relational process, our team builds a unique engagement plan in partnership with every client to identify assessment needs, data, stakeholder engagement and other important factors. Our processes ensure for custom, thorough, and implementable plans for each partner organization. And our plans stand out for their measurable return on investment.

A Development Assessment and Plan begins with an in-depth review of an organization’s fundraising program to understand its status, donor constituency available for fundraising requirements and the leadership and staff necessary to complete its goals. Once completed and recommendations for improvement are made, the organization is prepared to implement its comprehensive development plan to maximize giving at all levels.
