Revenue Planning
Our revenue planning services help you build a culture of philanthropy and prioritize the most effective paths for increasing revenue.
A culture of philanthropy builds the capacity, systems and culture to support fundraising success. Other revenue, such as program or “earned” revenue, might offer untapped opportunities for growth. We can provide a comprehensive “boot camp” for young organizations, or a high-level review for more mature organizations.
In guiding our clients, we draw on decades of experience in building a culture of philanthropy. We also find insight and wisdom in the knowledge in these terrific books and papers:
Nonprofit Lifecycles
Dr. Stevens’ research into the needs of nonprofit organizations demonstrates how the organization and its donors’ needs evolve as the organization matures. Credibility, sophistication, and brand dictate what your organization’s next milestones are and how your donors can help.
The Generosity Network
McCrea and Walker spell out how to put relationships (not money) at the heart of your fundraising. This is one of the pillars of a culture of philanthropy, and it can lead to personal transformation, “the secret goal of giving.”
