LET US HELP YOU BUILD YOUR FUNDRAISING CAPACITY
Fundraising is really a Core Aspect of a Nonprofit Organization’s Business.
Thinking of a nonprofit organization as a business can sometimes feel uncomfortable, but our experience has shown that it is critical. And it doesn’t mean “putting profit before people.” It means focusing on the fact that your organization needs a specific amount of money to deliver on its mission. It means moving beyond doing as much as you can with what you have. It means allocating time, money, and strategic thinking to fund development and fundraising. ……
When nonprofits reach out to us, they often have questions and don’t know who to turn to for solid advice.
-
How can I raise more money?
-
Why isn’t my board engaged in fundraising?
-
Is this the right time to raise money?
-

ABFE – A Philanthropic Partnership for Black Communities
When this national organization wanted to embark on their first major fundraising campaign they connected with Saad&Shaw. Using our case for support and feasibility study services they learned that their supporters held a large vision for them. Based on the feasibility report they launched a $25million five-year campaign and ended the campaign early with $30million. The result: a stronger national organization prepared to support members and the field with tools, resources, and convenings that address the most pressing issues facing Black communities.
“The Shaws’ expertly guided us through every step of our first fundraising campaign. The level of education and coaching provided for myself as the CEO, senior staff, and the Board was instrumental to our success. I highly recommend Saad&Shaw to any organization aiming to build a fundraising culture.”
