Our Core Services
INDIVIDUAL GIVING SUCCESS REPORT SUITE
Turn data into direction.
The Individual Giving Success Reporting Suite helps fundraising shops unlock the full power of their donor databases through customized, actionable dashboards. We go beyond surface-level metrics to deliver insight-rich reports on portfolio performance, donor engagement, campaign progress, and more. Whether you're preparing for a board meeting or coaching your team, the IGS Suite equips you with the clarity and confidence to make data-informed decisions that drive growth.
GIFT OFFICER SUCCESS
Empower your frontline.
Our Gift Officer Success service provides hands-on coaching and management support for fundraisers and their leaders. We partner directly with gift officers to build personalized plans that improve portfolio productivity, sharpen strategy, and drive meaningful donor relationships. Whether you're onboarding new talent or aiming to grow major gift outcomes, our embedded coaching model ensures that fundraisers feel supported, focused, and set up to succeed.
PARTNERS IN PHILANTHROPY PROGRAM
Build a culture of giving from the inside out.
The Partners in Philanthropy Program engages faculty, staff, volunteers, and board members as active collaborators in fundraising. Through tailored education, onboarding, and strategic planning sessions, we help internal and external stakeholders understand their role in philanthropy—and how to lean in effectively. By turning institutional partners into philanthropic champions, we expand your reach, deepen donor connections, and strengthen mission alignment across your organization.
Our Team
At the core of our approach is a team of seasoned development professionals who serve as dedicated coaches across each of our service areas. These coaches bring real-world fundraising expertise and a hands-on mindset, working directly with gift officers, managers, and institutional partners to build capacity, drive strategic execution, and foster accountability. By embedding with client teams, our coaches provide consistent guidance, real-time feedback, and actionable support that ensures long-term success and deeper alignment with organizational goals.
