What to Expect From Your Consultation
Our two-hour consultation is designed to help nonprofit leaders step back, evaluate their current fundraising approach, and identify clear opportunities for growth.
Through research, conversation, and practical recommendations, we help organizations strengthen donor relationships and increase giving.
Before the Consultation
Before we meet, our team conducts preliminary research to make the conversation focused and productive.
We review publicly available information about your organization, including your fundraising approach, donor communications, and available industry data. We also examine relevant trends and comparable organizations to better understand your environment.
This preparation allows us to begin the consultation already familiar with your mission and ready to discuss meaningful opportunities.
During the Consultation
During the two-hour consultation, we walk through the key elements of your fundraising program and provide practical guidance based on decades of experience.
Topics often include:
- Fundraising best practices used by successful nonprofit organizations – including examples from Fit Fundraising clients
- Industry trends and benchmarks relevant to your mission
- Comparisons to similar organizations and campaigns we have supported
- Guidance on donor conversations, asks, and call strategies
- Help identifying mid-major donors already in your file who may have major donor capacity
- Development culture assessment, including staff roles and leadership engagement
- Offer development review to strengthen annual, mid-major, and major donor engagement
The session is collaborative and focused on identifying the next steps that can move your organization forward.
After the Consultation
Following the consultation, you will receive a summary of the discussion outlining key observations and recommended next steps.
This summary highlights opportunities to strengthen your fundraising strategy, improve donor engagement, and clarify potential adjustments to staffing, processes, or campaign planning.
If it makes sense, we may also recommend ways Fit Fundraising could support your organization further. In some cases, organizations choose to engage our services for recruiting, campaign strategy, or fundraising counsel.
If we believe your organization is not yet ready for those services, we will say that clearly as well. Our goal is to provide honest guidance that helps you move forward, whether that includes working together or not.
