Focus.  With a sharp focus on making the best use of your staff talents, volunteer leadership and available resources, our assessment will help your organization pursue its greatest opportunities and address its most pressing challenges.  It will help you set priorities and gain internal support for urgent actions.

Forward.  The Fast-Forward Assessment identifies immediate, strategic actions you can take to move your program forward—increasing your fundraising capacity, improving your return on investment and preparing you to emerge from the current downturn stronger than before.

Fast.  In a tough economy, organizations need to be able to respond quickly to challenging circumstances.  We aim to complete our assessment within four weeks of receiving the information we need so you can put our recommendations to work.

What’s in a Fast-Forward Assessment?
The Fast-Forward Assessment includes a series of analyses and activities that target your most important opportunities with the greatest efficiency.  Our consulting team will:

  • Assess your donor base, prospect ratings and segmentation strategies
  • Conduct in-depth one-on-one interviews with your executive and volunteer leaders and fundraising staff
  • Project the number of prospects and level of cultivation activity that you will need to sustain a target level of major giving

Deliverable.  An executive memorandum presents our findings and recommends actions you can take immediately to increase your results in the short term and strengthen your program for the long term.

Flexible.  As a full-service firm, we can also extend these services to include donor interviews, Board training, case testing, strategic counsel and analysis of your direct marketing program or implement our Comprehensive Development Assessment.  Fast-Forward Assessments are sized for your organization.  Additionally, we offer assessments focusing on Annual Giving, Major and Planned Giving, Donor Relations and Communications programs.
