Annual Fundraising

  • Double your annual giving in 5-years or less

It’s very reasonable. NPA will jump-start your annual giving program. The key is a comprehensive plan offering compelling funding packages, maximizing your people and budget to cultivate and solicit all of your donors (large, small, institutions) efficiently.  We not only provide counsel, we will work directly with donors and prospects on your behalf.

Capital Campaigns

  • It’s a step-by-step partnership as you embark on your biggest fundraising effort of the decade

We’ve managed large successful campaigns enabling nonprofits to rise to a new level of mission. From donor feasibility testing studies to estimate the size and potential for success — to creating a compelling business plan — to identifying your best prospects — to training your staff and leadership, NPA ensures that your campaign is well designed and executed.  Achieve your goal.  Finish in a timely manner.  Recruit new major donors in the process.

Donor Communications

  • The challenge is figuring out how to talk with your donors over multiple platforms at a time when people are overwhelmed with too much information…..

Happy productive donors need to feel connected. Inspiration, education, and need are messages your donors must hear to make their next gift.  NPA evaluates existing messages and strategies, recommends a coordinated plan for all donor segments, and develops compelling copy for mail, email, reports, and social media.

Interim Management

  • Losing your CEO or Chief Development Officer can be traumatic.  It can disrupt focus and impact productivity.  Rather than rush to rehire, an interim leader can smooth your transition, prepare the organization for a new leader, and ensure that programs continue performing.

NPA offers seasoned non-profit executives able to step in for 3, 6, or 9 months to manage your organization or fundraising program.  We are quick to learn your culture and programs.  We can evaluate staff, systems, and programs during the transition.  We can also assist with evaluations of your next leadership candidates.  Don’t let your organization fall behind during a leadership transition and give yourself time to find the BEST person to lead in the future.
