Fund Development

Ensuring and expanding resources is imperative to achieving an organization’s mission. With the assistance of ESC’s professional fundraising experts, your organization can formulate a plan that can really develop significant funds. With expert facilitation, training and advice, the leaders of your organization will be prepared to take on their role in fundraising while positioning your organization for financial stability. ESC’s consultants will work with your organization in each step of creating a funding plan by:

• Assessing and analyzing total revenue streams, and identifying opportunities for expansion
• Determining an organization’s real capacity for increasing contributed revenue
• Examining the competitive fundraising environment and identifying key messaging and themes for growing contributed income
• Offering training to board members and committees, other volunteers and staff in successful fundraising strategies and methods for individual donors and institutional funders alike
• Reviewing possibilities for developing and/or increasing earned income revenues
• Mentoring for fundraising staff (when needed) within the context of an overall ESC project
