Strategic and business advisory services
Through our strategic fundraising consulting, we support board members, executive boards, and management teams in making sustainable financing decisions. We examine the organization’s long-term strategy, its positioning vis-à-vis funders, and the role of grants, subsidies, and partnerships within that framework.
When a single application is insufficient to realize ambitions, this broad perspective helps set a course and invest strategically in fundraising.
From ambition to a sustainable third-party funding stream
Many organizations want to increase their social impact but lack a cohesive approach to fundraising. We help organizations develop a sustainable third-party funding stream that aligns with their vision and long-term planning.
It starts with insight. We assess the organization’s current position, explore opportunities within the landscape of grants and subsidies, and analyze how these relate to the organization’s ambitions. Based on this analysis, we build a fundraising strategy that goes beyond a single application and contributes to a recognizable and credible position vis-à-vis funders.
Strategic decisions regarding grants, subsidies, and partnerships
Not every form of financing is right for every organization. And not every idea is immediately suitable for grants or subsidies. That’s why we take a critical look at what works and what doesn’t. We analyze feasibility, timing, and coherence and translate this into clear strategic choices.
In doing so, we also consider the role of partnerships in financing. We advise on which collaborations strengthen the organization, when they add value, and how they contribute to the organization’s positioning vis-à-vis funds and grant providers.
Strengthening the fundraising profile
A key component of our strategic fundraising advice is strengthening the organization’s fundraising profile. We provide guidance on positioning, internal organization, and decision-making related to fundraising. We also assess support within the board, management, and teams, because a strategy only works if it has broad support.
We help determine the correct sequence of steps and identify where investments should be made first to ensure successful fundraising later on. This results in a strategy that works at the organizational level and does not get bogged down in isolated initiatives.
Not just a casual assessment, but a comprehensive consulting process
For us, strategic fundraising advice isn’t just a quick scan or a theoretical report. It’s a substantive advisory process that focuses on structure, growth potential, and sustainability within the organization. We aren’t afraid to be critical when necessary, always while respecting the organization’s objectives and context.
Our advice is characterized by sharp analysis and a focus on lasting results. In this way, we work together to build a funding strategy that benefits not only the organization but also society in the long term.
