Fundraising Consulting Services for Nonprofit Organizations
Drive results through strategy, planning and relationships
As a respected, recognized leader in fundraising consulting services, M. Gale & Associates delivers solutions that keep your fundraising program relevant and effective.
Helping your organization raise critical funding to achieve your vision and mission requires strategy, planning, and relationship building. Wherever your organization is based, you face competition for acquisition and retention of your donors’ annual gifts.
M. Gale will help your nonprofit create an effective fundraising approach, integrating critical components to optimize the efforts of your staff, your board, and your volunteers. As experts in fundraising campaigns, we devise plans that stand out for providing maximum return on investment.



Development Plan
This fact-based, objective approach incorporates an audit and/or an assessment to determine the best strategy for your fundraising campaign. M. Gale will create a comprehensive, realistic development plan focused on producing and maintaining maximized giving at all levels.
Working together with you, we will:
Gather information through documents and interviews
Share insights
Analyze fundraising efforts over several years
Study patterns and depth in your donor constituency
Look at the resources available to implement a successful plan which includes leadership and skilled staffing models

Relationship Management
Relational fundraising is an M. Gale core strength, one which has driven the success we’ve achieved with our clients over the years. In all fundraising, effective relationship management requires a strategy, documented plan and evaluative measures. We’ll help you gain the critical knowledge you need to develop strong, enduring relationships with your donors in order to maximize the impact of their gifts for your organization. Using proven principles developed over many years of fundraising consulting, we’ll help you create the “donor journey” uniquely tailored to your organization.



Annual Fund Planning
Evaluating your annual funding practices provides the foundation for a strong development program. As part of an overall evaluation, our knowledgeable professionals will review all aspects of your programs, including:
- Fundraising activities
Results
Staffing
Donor retention rates
Volunteer involvement
Budget
Based on the findings, we’ll help you take your annual fundraising to the next level by creating a road map for growth, including tactics, benchmarks, and staff training.

Donor Retention through Recognition and Stewardship
Donor retention is a key measure of success for any nonprofit. Retaining your donor relationships not only saves your organization money, but allows it to deepen critical involvement that leads to greater philanthropic investment over time. M. Gale’s approach to donor retention incorporates gift recognition and stewardship activities. In partnership with you, our team creates a formalized plan that puts your donors front and center as a critical part of your success story. From building a detailed program to creating a special space for all to see, our team is ready to support you with an effective, individualized plan.



Fundraising Tools
By partnering with a leading fundraising consultant, you’ll gain access to our toolbox of proven strategic solutions, including:
Database analysis
Prospect research
Value-added integrated marketing practices
Staff and volunteer training
“How to” modules on conducting a fundraising audit and assessment
Insight on benchmarking your progress and managing change during your fundraising initiative
A case statement template that will help you connect your donors to your philanthropic investment story

Fundraising Coaching
As part of our fundraising consulting services, M. Gale’s supportive professionals will create collaborative relationships with you, your staff, your volunteers, and your leadership to bring new awareness and opportunity to your team and development program.


Knowing that a significant amount of campaign funding would come from individual donors, it was important for us to select a consultant with the breadth of fundraising experience to integrate the campaign with our existing fundraising operation. M. Gale & Associates also provided staff coaching, strategic planning for our Board of Directors and conducted the feasibility study prior to our campaign.
M. Gale delivers fundraising solutions tailored to your nonprofit’s needs to ensure maximum return on investment.
