We recommend you start with a Fundational Consultation. In this comprehensive meeting we will review where you are in the below foundational areas. If you are strong in a section - Hooray!! We call this meeting time fun, because it is! It is comforting and fun to review where you are and where you need to improve to create more success and donation dollars. Plus, we bring toys...and snacks - those are always fun!

This upbeat yet essential meeting will find the nonprofit foundational areas you need improvement, aligning you with the packages (below) that will benefit you the most. Now we know where to make you GREAT so your development and fundraising efforts can fly high! Let's go!
