What you can expect from a development assessment

Your development assessment will be tailored to your organization’s unique circumstances, resources, and goals. Although no two assessments are the same, some typical objectives include the following:

  • Assessment of prospect pool resources, systems, and processes to build capacity and increase philanthropic revenue.
  • Examination of your board’s role in fundraising and creation of a framework to strengthen their support.
  • Staff time allocation review.
  • Peer analysis and benchmarking.
  • Customized e-survey for appropriate constituents.
  • Data analytics to evaluate the prospect pool and inform fundraising and staffing recommendations.
  • Focus groups of select organizational members.

You can raise more money. We can show you how.
