Fundraising Strategy & Review

Are you looking for a comprehensive fundraising strategy for your organization? Are you an artist trying to navigate raising funds for your work through crowdfunding or trying to cultivate patrons into donors? Or perhaps you are looking for someone to oversee a comprehensive direct mail campaign. My background in fundraising and development, as well as expertise in multi-channel direct mail campaigns can help you & your organization reach your goals, whatever they may be.

YOUR ANNUAL PLAN

It can be a beast to keep all the pieces of fundraising and resource development moving full steam ahead, especially when so many of us are working in reaction mode and are strapped for time and resources. Having a clear and organized annual plan helps keep big picture goals, fundraising campaigns, communications, action items and deadlines on track. Let's set you or your organization up for success before the beginning of your fiscal year.

DIRECT MAIL Appeals + Strategy

Print isn't dead. In fact, direct mail continues to remain one of the strongest appeal methods in fundraising. Stories that speak to donors—along with clear impact numbers—are the backbone for a good direct mail campaign, but by adding in strong segmentation and clean design you've got a recipe for success. I have almost two decades of experience in crafting stories, designing fundraising pieces, and working with commercial printers and mail houses, so building direct mail campaigns is one of my strongest skill sets. I can't wait to collaborate with you to engage your current and potential donors.

Multi-channel campaign strategy

A great fundraising campaign strategy engages fundraising channels from social media to direct mail, and includes events (large or small), board involvement and secured matching gifts and pledges from high-impact donors. Together we can step back and look at all the moving parts and build a great multichannel campaign strategy to help hit your fundraising goals—from the big picture to the details that help your campaign shine.
