OUR PHILOSOPHY

Understanding that all organizations have challenges unique to their time and place, we listen and then challenge clients to think differently about philanthropy
Key questions: What should be preserved? What should be strengthened? What should be transformed?
Create realistic and achievable metrics based on the three fundamentals of effective fund raising:
- Compelling case for support
- Committed leadership
- Donors who can be challenged to think of their philanthropy in different and creative ways
Prepare clients to successfully undertake future opportunities.
