FUND BUILDERS ALLIANCE
Professional Consultants to Nonprofits

Want to spend more time accomplishing your mission and less time raising funds?

The Fund Builders Alliance is ready to help!

Nonprofit organizations often find it difficult or impossible to pay full-time staff wages and benefits, especially in challenging economic times when on-site development staff  may be the key to raising funds and developing strategies for survival. A proven solution to this dilemma is to call on a seasoned consultant who can step in quickly at an affordable cost.

HOW THE FUND BUILDERS ALLIANCE CAN HELP YOUR ORGANIZATION

Each member of the Fund Builders Alliance is a seasoned professional with many years experience working with a variety of nonprofit organizations to raise the funds and develop the strategies vital to fulfilling their missions.  Our collective background includes experience in solving fundraising problems for virtually any kind of nonprofit organization under the most challenging circumstances

From preliminary planning to post-campaign counsel, we are ready to assist nonprofit organizations of any size and at all stages of development, by providing strategies for success.

A PLAN FOR ACTION

You may know how other nonprofits have raised money, and you certainly know how your organization has approached fundraising in the past, but sometimes you need a fresh viewpoint--direct, personal, solid advice about your unique challenges. You need perspective. In short, you need a consultant.

We have the knowledge and resources to help nonprofit organizations like yours succeed!  We subscribe to this old truism: The best way to start is to begin! So…

~  Begin by contacting any member of our Alliance to tell us about your specific needs and challenges.  

~   If it seems feasible to proceed, we’ll set up a meeting with you, or a small group of your staff and board to begin a discussion about how ready you are to begin raising funds – and how we can help. You will meet initially with a member of the Fund Builders Alliance-- a consultant who has the skills and experience to assess your unique needs.

~  Next, we will submit a written proposal detailing how we will provide services to meet your needs and what we consider to be a fair and reasonable compensation.  Fees are structured on an hourly, daily, specific project or retainer basis.

~  You will review and approve the proposal, then we’ll begin work, consulting with you every step along the way.  There is no cost until you approve the proposal.

~  The primary consultant assigned to your project will call on assistance from other members of the Fund Builders Alliance as needed to provide the best possible services for your project.

    Please call any of our listed consultants to discuss your needs – with no     obligation.  Not sure where to start? Call Donna Kneeland (831-625-0929) or     Margie McCurry (831-657-0973) for your initial conversation.

We look forward to working with you!
