You’ve reached your fundraising capacity

Your current team is maxed out in their capacity to raise money. If you want to increase your fundraising revenue, you need to hire help. But it’s not that easy!

Traditional support options just aren’t cutting it:

Hiring In-House

Small budget means inexperienced staff who require more effort and time to manage.

vs.

Consultant

Strategic direction without implementation means a “plan” sits on a computer for 3 years and your big investment goes down the drain.

You need a Raise It! Certified Fractional Fundraiser

Strategic Oversight

Our Fractional Fundraisers each have over 10 years of fundraising experience.

We always start our work with you with a fundraising plan that outlines strategic objectives and a work plan for your fundraising program.

Hands-on Implementation

We then implement that plan! From strategy to stuffing envelopes, if it’s in the plan, we’ll make sure it gets done.

“I was frustrated after our previous Development Manager left the organization and was looking for a new option for fundraising staffing that would be less of a burden on my time. I hired a Fractional Fundraiser and the fundraising results started really quickly, with the year-end appeal raising more than ever before, but that was just the beginning. Our foundation and individual giving more than doubled within a year and our fundraising ROI went from 107% to 566%.”

— Dan Kershaw, Furniture Bank

“Fundraising was a bit of a “tough nut to crack”. We both came from programming and administration which was much more comfortable. The organization was around for about 20 years, but the founder was so closely tied a lot of the funders.

So we hired a Fractional Fundraiser. It’s been so nice to have the Fractional Fundraiser feel like part of our team who really understands our work and connects with our team. As a small arts organization, it’s a relief to have someone manage the fundraising and we’ve been able to watch it grow without the stress.”

Risk Free, Results Oriented

Hiring in-house comes with a lot of risk and not much reward. Just imagine getting better fundraising results without hiring staff, proving space for them, and managing their day-to-day activities. Forget staff turnover or only hiring someone “your budget can afford”. We provide the best in small-shop fundraising at a budget you can afford, taking away your risk.

That depends on your ambitions for your organization. The Good Partnership exists to make the most of your investment. Our clients have seen upwards of a 2.3X ROI in the first 12 months of working with us and 6X in the second year.
