Beth Viney contacted us in hopes of taking her fund development program to the next level of success. Czar’s Promise had moved beyond the start-up phase, with a strong foundation, a highly successful annual walk event, and several years of growing impact. A strong, sustainable fund development program that established revenue opportunities beyond their successful Inspiring Hope Walk was a primary goal for Beth, but she needed guidance in understanding where to start and how to build a fundraising action plan.

Amanda worked with Beth and her Board of Directors to establish a new fund development strategy and plan that would guide the organization to achieving it’s funding and impact goals. Amanda worked with Beth to gain a deeper understanding of the organization and the opportunities, then led Beth through a planning and capacity-building coaching framework to identify goals and discuss action items to achieve them.

The results of Amanda’s consulting engagement with Czar’s Promise included:

• A fundraising plan with clear strategies and next steps for success

• Donor research to identify major gift prospect priorities

• Amanda coached Beth through the organization’s first spring appeal which raised over $10,000 in a few weeks

• Coaching for the Board of Directors and clear next steps for stronger Board engagement in fundraising

• Guidance on establishing revenue targets and financial projections
