Guiding you on the journey to
Major Gift Success

Get Started

Who are we?

We are experienced nonprofit consulting professionals who also happen to be sister/brother. We have been in your shoes. We know what it’s like to lead an organization and be tasked with the opportunity and challenges of identifying, qualifying, cultivating and asking donors for major gifts. We have done it hundreds of times. Let us help you to help your organization thrive.

What We Offer

Our value proposition is simple; we will help you raise more money through major gifts. Why major gifts? Because a healthy and thriving major gift program can transform an organization. Would your mission benefit if your organization routinely received gifts of $1,000, $5,000 or even $50,000? Would you like to find out?

Who We Serve

We are looking for Executive Directors and Board Presidents who know they are missing out on funding. You know that you have to do SOMETHING about major gifts but just don’t know what to do. Is that you? If it is, then let’s find out if maybe…just maybe we have the solution for you.

How We Work

We use a live lab model. This means we get you in the game as quickly as we can. Training is good. Conferences are good. What’s better? Getting you in front of donors and learning how to match their passion to give with your organizational mission. By focusing our efforts on preparing you for each donor visit, followed by a comprehensive debrief, you will learn the art and science of major gift fundraising at a pace that is most effective for you.

Next Step

Are we the right option for you? If you are looking to increase your revenue through direct mail, events, or grants, then no we are not. We’d be happy to introduce you to other companies who have expertise in those areas. BUT, if you are ready to dive into engaging your donors one on one, learning about why they want to support your organization, and ask those donors to support on a grand scale,—then yes, we just might be the perfect option for you.
