Serving the missions that serve everyone else.

We advise, support, and consult with nonprofits and private schools on capital campaigns in the $1M–$15M range - plus strategic planning, leadership development, and the full fundraising lifecycle.

Nonprofit team collaborating around a table

Capital campaign advising

A trusted partner from readiness to public phase.

As a small firm, our clients receive direct, senior-level engagement throughout the entire campaign. You get one experienced consultant - Dr. Tad Dickel - from the first phone call to the celebration event.

Case Statements

A compelling, authentic case for support that communicates your needs and vision to prospective donors in language they will trust.

Feasibility Studies

A confidential process of donor interviews and analysis that tells you - honestly - whether your campaign is likely to succeed, and what to adjust.

Campaign Planning & Advising

A clear plan for the campaign, plus hands-on coaching for leadership and volunteers throughout the silent and public phases.

Back Office Support

Pledge tracking, acknowledgements, reporting, and communications - so your staff can stay focused on donors and the mission.

Planned Giving

Planned giving is a tremendous, underused opportunity. We help nonprofits build a program that generates sustainable, regular support.
