For organizations looking to expand or localize their fund raising efforts—particularly INGOs—we provide research on donor profiles, giving behavior, and the broader resource environment.

Outcome: A grounded understanding of fund raising potential within specific contexts.

For organizations preparing for larger-scale campaigns, we offer an objective, research-based assessment of readiness. This includes identifying potential major donors and campaign leaders, analyzing resource requirements, and recommending key next steps.

Outcome: A clear understanding of your organization’s capacity to undertake a capital campaign and the conditions required for success.

Every organization’s journey begins with clarity. Through our 10-P Assessment Framework, we work with you to understand your current fund raising capacity—reviewing your financial needs, donor landscape, team skills, structures, and internal systems. This process identifies strengths to build on, gaps to address, and opportunities to explore.

Outcome: A shared understanding of your fund raising readiness, and a solid foundation for decision-making.

The support of your Board can be vital to sustaining your mission. We facilitate conversations and orientation sessions to help Board members understand their evolving role in resource mobilization—fostering deeper engagement, shared responsibility, and long-term stewardship.

Outcome: A more informed and engaged Board, aligned with your fund raising goals.

Every member of an organization contributes to its sustainability. These sessions introduce your team to the principles of fund raising, build understanding of campaign objectives, and explore how each staff member can support the effort.

Outcome: Clear delineation of roles and responsibilities, empowered and capacitated fund raising team moving in sync to achieve a common goal.

Learning deepens through practice. We provide hands-on mentoring during the early phases of your campaign—coaching your team, offering timely feedback, and helping adjust strategies as needed.

Outcome: A confident and capable fund raising team, gradually empowered to lead without external support.

Fund raising becomes more effective and sustainable when it is supported by the right internal structures. We help set up your fund raising or resource development unit—through role definition, recruitment and mentoring, system and processes setup, and policy formulation.

Outcome: A dedicated unit that is equipped and empowered to lead your organization’s resource mobilization efforts.

Compelling communication is key to engaging donors. We assist your team in crafting your Case Statement, Fund Raising Prospectus, and other essential materials, while also guiding your work with creative professionals.

Outcome: Clear, mission-aligned materials that resonate with your constituencies.

Evaluation is a key component of operating and sustaining effective fund raising campaigns. Utilizing metrics specific to the strategies identified in their fund raising plans, our partners will need to learn how to collect important information and analyze their results to increase their fund raising effectiveness over the long term.

The results from these activities will aid in the decision to scale up of your campaigns, identify unaddressed donor audiences, as well as inform into decisions on whether to discontinue or revise specific fund raising strategies.

Effective fund raising requires ongoing learning. We help partners develop and apply evaluation tools to understand campaign performance, track donor responses, and assess the effectiveness of various strategies.

Outcome: Data-informed insights to guide future decisions and improve overall effectiveness.

A capital campaign is the ultimate test of an organization’s fund-raising skills.

Because of the magnitude of organizational resources needed and high level of commitment required to conduct a capital campaign, there is a need to do a Capital Campaign Feasibility Study to determine if the proposed fund raising campaign has the critical ingredients for success, and whether the organization has the capacity to implement such a campaign.

The feasibility study will aid your organization in identifying key actions to prepare for the campaign, such as the amount that can be reasonably raised within a specific time frame, cost involved in managing the campaign, potential campaign leaders and donors, other factors that may affect the campaign, and recommendations on how the campaign should be conducted.

Rooted in your assessment findings, this participatory workshop guides your team in co-developing a fund raising plan that is both strategic and practical. Each component is shaped with a clear rationale, ensuring alignment, ownership, and a pathway to implementation.

Outcome: A context-sensitive fund raising plan led by a core group committed to its success.
