Fundraising
With years of experience in the trenches with nonprofits of all sizes, Bureau for Good offers sure-handed execution and practical advice on virtually any fundraising-related task or challenge.
Our process
As seasoned professionals that have led development offices, consulting firms and fundraising campaigns, we have the understanding, insight and tools to help organizations of varying sizes and scopes achieve their revenue goals with efficiency and purpose. We understand that every organization is unique, which is why we take a personalized approach to every client engagement and create practical fundraising solutions that jive with your strengths as well as your limitations.
Our approach is rooted in the belief that cultivating meaningful relationships with donors is at the heart of successful fundraising. Without that, even the most well-planned programs, described in the most well-executed asks, often have little chance of success. We provide expert guidance on stewardship, cultivation, and retention strategies in the form of trackable, actionable plans in order to maximize donor lifetime value across all constituencies, from foundations to corporate donors to individual major donors.
