Our decision to merge comes from the desire to provide the most unique capacity-building consulting services available to nonprofit organizations. We have tightly woven together our skills in board development, planning, fund development, public relations, marketing and public policy into an integrated approach. Our clients benefit greatly from working with this entire team - already, the synergy is taking them to a whole new level, and all are grateful for the added perspectives and skill-sets.

Competition in the nonprofit arena for donor dollars is fierce. Additionally, donor-investors are now more than ever demanding accountability and fiscal integrity from the nonprofits they support.

The good news is there is plenty of money around! Even though over $240 billion is contributed to nonprofits annually (Source: AAFRC Trust for Philanthropy), it is estimated we are still leaving $100 billion on the table from wealthy individuals alone.

A well-planned and executed fund raising program establishes the framework through which sustainable philanthropic income may be achieved.

Fund Raising Advantage, Inc. is committed to helping nonprofits of any size position themselves for fund development success. We take a holistic approach to enhancing development and fund raising potential, by assessing the status of all the critical elements:

• The board of directors, its make-up and how effectively it supports the mission and values of the nonprofit
• How the nonprofit communicates with the general community, its donors, volunteers and other stakeholders, and with its staff
• How the nonprofit is perceived by the community
• How the nonprofit begins its relationship with its donors and how effectively it strengthens that relationship to lead to transformational, long-term giving
• How effectively the nonprofit collaborates with other organizations for the realization of its own mission as well as improving the quality of life for the whole community

Once all of these elements have been examined, we move ahead with determining what steps must be undertaken to create an improved, balanced partnership among the nonprofit, the community and the donor-investor. It is this dynamic ongoing partnership that will enable real and effective change.

We provide total customization, not pre-packaged consulting services. Each project is completely customized to the specific needs of the client, from feasibility studies and managing capital, annual or endowment campaigns to planning, board development or training workshops.

The recommendations we make are reality-based, workable and affordable. We understand that in order for the consulting relationship to be beneficial to the client, the recommended action steps must be prepared with consideration for the financial and human resources of the nonprofit.

We check in with our clients three months after the conclusion of the contract at no extra charge, to encourage the nonprofit to stay on track and accomplish identified activities. Twelve months after the conclusion of the contract, we offer a complimentary one-hour "Anniversary Check-up" to discuss any challenges or concerns.

During this period when trillions of dollars are passing to the baby boomer generation from their parents, nonprofits need effective fund development programs more than ever.

Let us help you realize your maximum philanthropic potential!
