How can Linda and her team help your organization? Here is a sample initial engagement:

 

We understand that people support what they help to create. Our approach is assets/ strengths based, building on what is already working for your organization and the communities it serves. We focus on three things: leadership (both board and staff), relationships (turning prospects into friends), and numbers (the more people you see, engage, and ask, the more money you can raise). In the initial 10-20-hour consultation, we will review your case for support—to include what distinguishes your organization and its strategic priorities—assess the current composition of your board and advise on major gift strategies for current prospects and potential board members.
