What We Offer
Our Services
We conduct feasibility studies to determine the extent to which a campaign is feasible for your project, not whether it should be done at all. Campaigns are always feasible. It’s the inspiration of the campaign case and the financial targets of a campaign that is to be uncovered. Our studies always include a thorough audit and assessment of all prospects by taking a closer look inside your base for the capacity to raise the necessary funds, fund performance records, mission achievements, vision and case for support, board member engagement and staffing capabilities, and healthy data hygiene.

The depth, breadth, and intensity of the assessment are differentiated only by the problem you are trying to fix. Learn more.
Strategic planning is probably the most important thing for you to accomplish.

These all benefit from a strong strategic vision and plan. Learn more.
