I love getting to work with small nonprofits because what they sometimes lack in resources, they make up for in passion and creativity. My goal is to provide your organization with services that help build capacity for a more sustainable future, so you can stay focused on fulfilling your mission.
It’s helpful to get a few things in place before you even begin the grant application process. I can help refine your mission, vision and values statements, help you organize project and annual budgets, and review program capacity and organizational readiness. All of this will help ensure that your organization has the best shot at winning those grants.
A well crafted grant proposal is critical in reaching funders and convincing them that your organization is a good investment. I can help you identify and present the stories and data that will put your organization’s best foot forward.
It’s all about figuring out who your donors are and how to reach them. I can meet you where you are, and help you figure out what kind of fundraising plan is both doable and effective for your organization.
I can help write or polish up your “please” and “thank you” letters so donors always know how much you value them and their support. It’s also important to stay in touch with your community when you’re not asking for support. Newsletters, updates, web content and social media posts are all important ways to keep your community engaged.
An annual impact report is an important part of your communication strategy, but it’s also just a nice opportunity to recognize all your successes over the past year and everyone who made those successes possible. I can guide you through the process, help you curate the data and stories that best reflect all your hard work, design a compelling report, and make sure you’re ahead of the curve for next year.
If you aren’t already, you should be measuring your impact. This information will help you determine your organization’s impact, and is essential in making a case to donors and funders that your organization can deliver measurable results with their money. I can help you identify important metrics that you should be tracking, and work with you on a strategy for keeping on top of tracking, and develop tools to help you organize and present that data.
Take some stress out of the budget planning process by getting an outside perspective. Figure out how much you can afford to spend on a certain event or program. Calculate budget allocations for grant applications. Decide whether or not you can afford to hire that new coordinator you’ve been wanting.
Communication is key, so you need to have a plan. A solid communications strategy will help ensure that you are reaching the right people at the right times so your messages have maximum impact.
Donor communications start at $199. Grant readiness projects start at $399. Grant seeking and applications start at $999. Projects can vary widely in scope, depending on your needs so actual prices are determined on an individual basis. Please contact me to find out more about how I can help you.
