who we ARE

the full-service source for all of your Annual Giving needs

Our custom programs are completely tailored for your organization and mission. Working hand-in-hand with you and your team, we develop campaigns that work for your unique budget and brand.

Appeals are created to inspire donors to higher giving levels, while minimizing your cost per dollar raised and maximizing your return on investment.

We feel more like an in-house team to our organizations because we are always available for you. We keep a close watch on workflow, timelines, and twists that can affect strategy.

Our flexibility means you won’t miss out on opportunities that arise after your program is in place and you won’t be sidelined by unexpected obstacles.
