Fundraising is more than the art of asking for money

Sure, fundraising helps pay salaries, operate outreach programs, and advance your mission. Unfortunately, fundraising often feels like a practical necessity. It’s the thing you need to get back to the actual work you’re called to do.

While it’s true that every organization has to find a way to keep the lights on—the practice of fundraising extends way beyond asking for money or covering costs. Fundraising at its core is an act of service on behalf of your donors. It’s an invitation to make a difference and help them transform right alongside the people and communities you help.

Meet Jon

Ever felt stuck “doing what we’ve always done” and hoping for fundraising results?

When I was hired at 21 as the Director of Development of a $1M nonprofit, I found myself dropped into this environment.

I was worried that if we didn’t see growth, the mission would be in trouble…

Now, Evan and I help nonprofits and ministries unlock growth through fundraising strategy and coaching that combines the power of clear messaging with insightful data and planning.

Build a strategic fundraising plan

90k+ raised during an end-of-year appeal campaign

We helped a grassroots nonprofit in Georgia with a modest donor list raise over $90k during their end of year holiday campaign. This plan can help you see the same kind of results.

Fundraising campaign fuels their 2 largest donations

We worked with a faith-based counseling center in Portland to create the strategy for an end-of-year matching campaign. This campaign resulted in the two largest-ever gifts to the organization and doubling the number of gifts in December year over year.

Frequently asked questions

You’ve got questions? We’ve got answers.

Why are their 3 plan options?
Great question! Every nonprofit is unique. From your budget, to programming, and everything in between, we offer these 3 options so that you can select from several done-with-you and done-for-you approaches.
How do I know which option is right for me and my nonprofit?
The baseline option is a ready-made strategic fundraising plan template that’s perfect for nonprofit leaders with limited budgets and still need a plan they can confidently build out and then execute on their own. The second option includes the strategic fundraising plan kit and 3 coaching calls to ensure you’re doing it right. The complete strategic fundraising plan package is ideal for nonprofit leaders who want a collaborative engagement where we do the heavy lifting to create a custom plan that you can easily implement.
What kind of results can I reasonably expect from a strategic fundraising plan like this?
It feels unhelpful to quote all those infomercials that state “results may vary.” Unfortunately, it’s also accurate. By nature, a strategic plan is designed to position you to achieve results—not guarantee them. That being said, everything included is based on best practices that have delivered results for nonprofits of all shapes and sizes. Even though execution is largely on your shoulders, it all starts with a well-laid plan—and we’re here to help you raise more money and further your mission.
Is there any scenario where this fundraising plan isn’t right for my nonprofit?
It’s important for us to answer this question because there are several scenarios where this offer is not a fit. If your primary concern is executing a fundraising plan you already have in place, this will likely not deliver the ROI you’re after.
