Our resource development services are targeted to help organizations reach the next level. And, like all of our services, our resource development services are customized to the needs of the organizations we serve.

First we understand where you want to go by assessing your current hopes and dreams or needs and wishes. Do you want to secure funds for a particular project? Do you need to secure new space or new equipment? Are you looking to establish a sustainable strategy for fund development?

Next, we work with you to identify which resource development strategies will help meet your needs.
    Grant Writing - for those looking to develop a capacity building grant, to secure program funding for a particular project or initiative, or enhance and clarify program outcomes.

    Capital Campaign - for those looking to secure larger space, purchase equipment, or to take a giant leap forward in fund development capacity.

    Individual Donor Development and Planned Giving - for those looking to establish a sustainable strategy for fund development.
Depending on your needs and objectives, multiple types of resource development may be combined to create a sustainable resource development strategy.

All of our resource development strategies and initiatives are based on a number of beliefs about fundraising.
  • We believe that fundraising is relational. All of our efforts emphasize the development of relationships between your organization and potential/current donors.

  • We believe that fundraising should be planned and systematic. All of our efforts focus on creating a system that you can use and rely upon for resource development in the future. We use a resource development cycle that integrates a range of fund development strategies and initiatives.

  • We believe that fundraising is strategic and should be part of the organizations culture. Everyone can help with fundraising - they just need to know how they can help and be equipped to do so.

  • We believe in integrity and ethics in all aspects of fundraising, and in the use of funds secured.
