Our experience working with a wide range of organizations means we have a comprehensive knowledge of the philanthropic landscape and are able to provide detailed donor intelligence and identify potential funding opportunities. Fully grasping the nuances of different funding models, the factors that influence donor decision-making and the cycles of funding opportunities is time consuming, taking valuable resources from your team. We can save you valuable time, providing you with vital donor information as well as insight into their funding cycles and specific requests for proposals (RFPs). We consider the project scope, the target audience, the donor’s available resources and numerous other factors in addition to our knowledge and experience with these donors.
Our exhaustive donor database allows us to provide information and advice in time sensitive situations, such as before a meeting with a donor or to determine the best place to start to narrow down an overwhelming list of possibilities. We can generate donor profiles or one-pagers on current donor priorities and fundraising strategies or develop resources such as donor directories to increase the efficiency and efficacy of your resource mobilization efforts. Going into donor meetings with a complete knowledge of their priorities and what they want from a grantee is key to successful fundraising and donor relationships. We can give you all the right background and tools so you go into these meetings in a position to succeed.
We provide detailed and expert-informed donor intelligence and identify suitable funding opportunities, both current and projected. With our grant opportunity scanning service, we continuously aggregate and review over 100 tender and grant resources containing 1,000s of RFPs and CFPs. We compile lists of grant opportunities, and where relevant, tenders, that fit client focus areas. Our aim is to provide our clients with the tools and resources they need to achieve their mission and make a positive impact in the communities they serve. Having identified a potential donor or funding opportunity, we can also help you put together a thorough package with our proposal review services.
