Hire Me

growconsultinglogoDo you need me?

Are you a small nonprofit organization with too little resources, including staff? Did your last newsletter go out in 2005? Is your organization’s database an Excel spreadsheet? Did your last grant proposal go out in 2007? Was your website last updated in 2004?

GrowConsultingPA offers the smaller nonprofit organization a number of affordable programs guaranteed (yes, guaranteed!) to provide you with the financial resources you need to focus on your mission – rather than chasing funding.

Services include:

Grant Proposal Writing: From extensive foundation prospect research, to writing compelling, competitive grant proposals, to follow-up and final reporting, GrowConsultingPA will focus on building long-term relationships with foundation grantmakers.

Individual Giving: Does your organization have a focused, consistent individual giving plan? Do you offer your donors the benefit of monthly giving? GrowConsultingPA will take the questions out of designing your organization’s individual giving program, providing you with clear structures and priorities in relation to charitable giving and community support that will have long term benefits for both the donor and your organization.

Donor Communications: Do you have a structured donor acknowledgment program? GrowConsultingPA will provide your organization with a systematic, donor-centered complete communication plan.

Story Development: What’s your organization’s story? No, I’m not talking about your mission statement, your story about your founder or any of the typical nonprofit jargon. I’m talking about how your work impacts your clients, your staff, your community, your board. The story you need to be telling – creatively and consistently. I will provide your organization with a cadre of stories to use in all of your development communications.

Social Media: Confused? No need to be. GrowConsultingPA will set up your Facebook, YouTube and Twitter accounts and maintain them for a low monthly fee.

Email Marketing: Developing your organization’s online strategy is not a “trend,” nor is it the future, it’s here.  If your organization doesn’t have an email marketing in place, you should have.  I can help.

Development Director in a Box

Frazzled?

Now is the time to ramp up your fundraising efforts – not cut back!

For qualifying organizations our Development Director in a Box interim staffing program may be right for you. Offering a streamlined, commonsense approach to systematizing your fundraising, GrowConsultingPA will provide grant proposal writing, design and implement your individual giving, review your database (or assist in the selection of one), review your website and social media plan (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter) and structure your donor communications with an eye to long-term donor retention.

This program is ideal for organizations lacking funding for a full-time development director or between development directors and is generally available to organizations with annual operating budgets of less than $2 million.
