Wait, what’s a case for support?

How I Can Help
An annual fund is an ongoing effort, not a one and done job for a consultant. So, while I put the infrastructure in place to bring in the revenue you need, I’m also going to teach you the ins and outs of annual fundraising to create long-term sustainability for your organization.
Brand and messaging — I’ll build a stronger brand through crystal-clear messaging that expresses your vision and engages your supporters.
Case development — A legacy of lasting impact starts with a compelling case for support. I will bring clarity and creativity to create a case that inspires excitement in your mission.
Creative communications — Print materials, annual reports, presentations, websites, social media, email, donor communications… everything you need to inspire support. I’ll help you use all of your communications channels to drive consistent impact across your audience.
I will create ideas, messages, and communications that tell your story, rally the support of your stakeholders, and empower your leaders to walk into the biggest donor conversations with confidence. And you’ll have the opportunity to learn along the way. So, let’s work together to build awareness, increase engagement, and amplify excitement in your mission.
Bottom line: When we’re done, not only will you have a powerful financial infrastructure, but you’ll also have the knowledge and confidence to keep this work going!
