Fund Development Growth

Amanda White Consulting partners with nonprofits organizations to create fundraising plans that will significantly grow organizational budgets and build capacity for achieving the mission. Plans are action-oriented and set realistic goals plus the framework for how to achieve them.

Fund Development Planning 

A Fund Development Plan is critical to building a strong and sustainable fundraising program for an organization. Having a plan sets realistic goals and lays a framework for how to achieve them. Another important aspect to the plan is the identification of roles among the board, staff, and volunteers. Amanda writes plans that are tailored to the specific needs of the organization and are based on your current fund development data baseline. The plan is focused on implementation and clearly defined actionable steps to help clients hit the ground running once the plan is complete.

Most clients choose to continue working with us through our Structured Coaching Service to assist with initial implementation of the plan.

Structured Coaching Service

For organizations that have a fund development plan but need coaching on plan implementation or growth, our Structured Coaching Service is an opportunity to receive expert advice in the specific areas the organization wishes to improve.

All coaching begins with a short review of the organization’s current fund development data, trends, and administration to create a baseline for building the strategy. Next, we’ll outline a road map for how best to utilize your coaching sessions. Topics of coaching sessions often include:

  • Finding and securing major gifts

  • How to engage the Board in fund development

  • Building capacity and staffing for fundraising growth

  • How to take a successful fund development program to the next level

“I had the pleasure of working with Amanda White as a fundraising coach for nearly a year. My organization is now well positioned to meet any and all fundraising challenges that come our way in the future. My board is delighted with the progress, and they are as amazed as I am at how quickly Amanda was able to teach me everything I needed to know. Thank you!”
