Fundraising

Whether you need to determine your readiness for a capital campaign, hiring counsel to manage a campaign, help with setting up a major gifts program, or assistance in planning and integrating all your fundraising activities, Beth Tishler can provide experienced leadership.

An overall fundraising strategy is essential for an institution’s long term sustainability. Each project begins with an analysis of current and past development activities as well as an assessment of its relationship to all facets of the institution.

Fundraising is a collaborative activity bringing the consultant, board, volunteers and staff working together to achieve the institution’s vision.

Beth brings a disciplined approach rooted in best practices and based on the following principles:

• Passion and commitment to an organization’s mission are essential. Skills can always be taught.
• Fundraising is about building long term relationships with clients, donors, staff, volunteers and the public.
• People give to people.
• Thorough planning insures success.
• Fundraising must be integrated into all aspects of an organization’s activities.
• Success is measured in more than dollars.
• The first three letters in fundraising are FUN !
