Your mission is to build a better world. Ours is to help you succeed.

Want to get better at fundraising but don’t know where to begin? Learn more about our Fundraising Advisory Services, where you can get paired up with an experienced fundraising consultant who can help assess your fundraising infrastructure, teach you the ins and outs of grantwriting, coach up your staff/board to raise money, and create fund development strategies. A recent organization that took advantage of this affordable consultation is Pacific Northwest Trails Association: “Our board had little to no experience with fundraising. Many of the members could only see their role in fundraising as that of a volunteer solicitor – which can trigger anxiety. [Our consultant] emphasized that fundraising is a team effort. And like any team, there are many roles. And they're all valuable,” says Melanie Simmerman (Development Committee member).
