Assesment Services
Assessing your Development/Fundraising Effort
Are you a nonprofit Board Chair, or Board Member? Program Officer? Perhaps the President of a University. Your directly responsible for fundraising and the financial well being of your institution or organization. But that is NOT your profession, so how are you to judge what's working and what's not? Do you have a successful fundraising program or not?
There are many unseen and unnoticed variables. What if you change staff and make a mistake? What if there are simple resources your fundraisers need that would make them highly successful? Maybe you don't have the right people in the right roles?
I offer an Assessment Service for just this situation. As you have read I have been a successful development officer for 32 years. I have crossed boundaries most haven't from large university fundraising to small nonprofit shops. My confidential assessment covers Staff, Board, Resources, Fundraising Environment and more. I look at not only staff but the holistic environment your team is working in. You will get an honest and specific report that pulls no punches and gives no favor. I have the advantage of having visited and trained with hundreds of development teams .Both successful teams and those struggling. One can map the attributes of both after enough experience.
Allow me to marshal these years of experience to help super charge your fundraising !
