Our Work Together
When the team at Gathering Markit came to us, they had a powerful mission and program, but needed help building a long-term strategy to support it financially.
They purchased our Strategic Fundraising Plan to take a next step in creating a clear, actionable roadmap for fundraising. Matching their heart for people with the sustainable revenue needed to grow.
Their new plan helps them communicate their impact, invite recurring support, and deepen donor relationships over time. Helping them stay focused on serving families with dignity.
Thoughtful, Strategic, and Exactly What I Needed
“As someone brand new to the nonprofit world and fundraising-every day feels like building the parachute after I’ve already jumped. The Fundraising Plan wasn’t generic. It was thoughtful, strategic, and exactly the kind of support I didn’t even realize I needed. If you’re trying to figure out fundraising as you go, check out the Strategic Fundraising Plan. You won’t regret it.”
-Heike Morton, The Gathering Markit
What Gathering Markit Can Do For You
Located in Abbotsford, BC, Gathering Markit is a nonprofit initiative that provides a welcoming, store-like experience for local families experiencing temporary food insecurity.
It’s not a handout. It’s a hand up.
Every family is treated with respect, every shelf is thoughtfully stocked, and every visit is an opportunity for community and connection.
While you might not live in British Columbia or need their specific service, take a look at their cause and how they show up online. Their founder, Heike Morton, is active online and actively working to build up a base of donors to support their work long-term.
Meet The Strategic Fundraising Plan
We know how important it is for nonprofits to have a strategic plan and approach to their fundraising. The problem is they often don’t know where to start.
Our Strategic Fundraising Plan, the same one used by The Gathering Markit (TGM), comes with 3 options:
- A DIY Template
- A DIY Template and Coaching
- A Custom Solution
TGM opted for the DIY template to get going, which requires a little more time and effort, but less upfront investment.
