Is Your Fundraising at a Standstill?
Throwing fundraising tactics at a wall and waiting to see what sticks for your organization?
Feel like everyone else has some secret formula to fundraising that you can’t seem to crack?
Wake up in the middle of the night, anxious about whether the next grant is going to come through or if your event is going to be a success?
With limited financial resources and even more limited time, you need to be certain that your nonprofit quickly ends up on the path to sustainable growth.
We'll Help You Grow
What you need is a team of experts who have sat in your seat and cracked the code on consistently growing nonprofit revenue, year after year. Like any high functioning business, your nonprofit needs a comprehensive marketing strategy that supports a strategic development plan created especially for your organization and your donors. You see, marketing and fundraising are interdependent. They are like the two engines on an airplane. Sure - you can run on one for a while, but for the long flight, you need both running well to be sustainable.
Money should not be what stops you from changing the world. There is plenty of it out there and all you need is to learn how to inspire people to invest in your vision.
It’s impossible to be an Executive Director, leading your organization into the future, while also being a full-time Development Director. We get it. As nonprofit Founders and Executive Directors ourselves, we have quite literally been in your shoes.
That’s why Broad Oaks Consulting and Solace Media have partnered to bring small to midsize nonprofits an affordable solution. Laying a Foundation for Growth is a revolutionary program that strategically unites fundraising and marketing to help you grow and diversify your revenue streams.
