Strategic Fundraising Consulting & Training

Many non-profits, struggling to survive in lean financial times, focus their development efforts on the immediate, urgent needs of the organization, rather than on long-term challenges. Under pressure to raise funds quickly, leadership may opt to launch emergency fundraising campaigns or dedicate an organization’s resources to a single project. For non-profits to thrive - not just survive - resource development efforts need to be an integral part of the organization’s overall strategy.

To maximize the fundraising potential of your organization, the first step involves articulating your organization’s goals and planning the resource development initiatives that will enable you to achieve them. GlobalCan works with you to develop philanthropic activities that align with the strategic direction of your organization, and then recommends the tools, tactics, and training required to get there.

We offer an array of short-and-long term mentoring and coaching services, individual and group training sessions, workshops and hands-on involvement with specific fundraising projects. We work together with our clients to define the organization’s core values that drive and shape process in the following areas:

• What is the organization's mission in a changing world?
• What role does fundraising play within the organization? 
• Assessing organizational readiness, decision-making processes and organizational metrics.
• Development of a shared philanthropic culture -  understanding donor engagement, creating a culture that implements effective metrics within the fundraising processes to increase long-term sustainability.
• Creating successful synergies within and outside the organization.
• Development of fundraising campaigns - special campaigns (such as project-oriented campaign, emergency campaigns), annual campaigns, fundraising events, targeted campaigns (such as a legacy campaign).
