Development Plan + Calendar

We’ll work with your team to understand your organization’s unique position and where you want to (and need to) go next. Using all the information, we will create a development plan with 6 - 12 clear strategies for success that are tailored to your team and the capacity you have for fundraising. All our plans come with an accompanying calendar that outlines a clear set of tactics for each strategy. These tactics are spread out over the 12-month period in a clear, easy-to-use checklist so you can bring your fundraising program to life.

A development plan + calendar is for you if…

  • You are a registered charity in Canada or a 501(c)3 in the USA - or are heading towards that designation and are building an initial fundraising plan.

  • You currently raise less than $1 million per year and are seeing that your current donor pool is starting to stagnate.

  • You feel like you’re always reacting to fundraising opportunities - not proactively seeking them out.

  • You have a lot of ideas for how to raise more funding but don’t know which ones are going to be effective or where you should start.

  • You are ready to breathe fresh air into your fundraising program and be an active participant in its growth.

  • You desire a deeper relationship with your donors but struggle to prioritize activities that will connect you with them and also raise you more funding.

Don’t just take our word for it…

From day one, Fawkes & Holly just seemed to ‘get’ us – the heart of our organization, our dreams, our successes and also our struggles. It’s true that sometimes you can’t see the forest for the trees, but Fawkes & Holly has helped us to see BOTH the small details and the big picture of our fund development and communications plan. Janet and Leigh are a real dynamic duo in consulting who have shared immense skill, instinct and experience, all the while helping our team members to grasp the value of their roles. And the results are truly amazing!
