We help organizations access funding opportunities that reflect their mission and support long-term growth. Our fundraising strategies are rooted in inclusivity, equity, and sustainability—ensuring that organizations can thrive while staying true to their core values and the communities they serve.

We approach every project with a deep sense of responsibility to honor the diverse identities and experiences within our communities.

À La Carte Services

Our Recommended Starting Point

Fundraising Audit + Implementation Strategy

  • We begin with a comprehensive review of your fundraising efforts over the past three years, including funding sources, donor engagement strategies, and financial performance.

    Goal: Identify strengths, gaps, and opportunities to build a more intentional and effective fundraising strategy.

  • We conduct in-depth interviews (in English and Spanish) with key internal and external stakeholders—board members, staff, clients, and community members—to gather diverse perspectives on your organization’s vision, challenges, and opportunities.


    Goal: Ensure your fundraising strategy is grounded in real community insight and aligned with internal capacity and values.

  • We synthesize audit results and interview insights into a detailed SWOT analysis, exploring themes such as:

    • Funding processes

    • Organizational identity

    • Policy and procedure alignment

    • Staff and board accountability

    • Professional development

    • Program alignment to mission

    Goal: Provide a comprehensive, actionable view of your current fundraising landscape and lay the groundwork for strategic planning.

  • We co-develop a customized, Advancement Plan—a living document that serves as your roadmap to sustainable growth. It includes diversified revenue strategies such as:

    • Foundation grants

    • Government grants

    • Corporate sponsorships

    • Individual donor cultivation (e.g., monthly giving, year-end campaigns)

    • Fundraising Events


    Goal: Provide a clear, flexible strategy to guide your fundraising work across departments and leadership levels.

Community-Centric Fundraising

It’s more than an approach — it’s a movement to transform how fundraising is done across the nonprofit sector.

Community-Centric Fundraising (CCF) began as a grassroots movement started by fundraisers of color in the Pacific Northwest and has been spreading ever since. It rethinks traditional fundraising by centering equity, community well-being, and social justice. CCF challenges fundraisers to move beyond donor-focused approaches toward collaborative leadership that prioritizes the voices of those most affected by systemic injustice. This evolving movement encourages honest dialogue, new practices, and collective action to create more just and inclusive fundraising. We embrace these principles in our work and invite you to learn more here.
