Our Model
Our model addresses the integrated nature of today's funding environment.
fundRISING's Model
fundRISING creates a holistic plan that works for your organization and backs it up with operational support to make it happen IRL. Here's how we do it:
01
Break Down
02
Build Out
03
Rise Up!
01. We’ll break it all down for you with a comprehensive look at gaps and opportunities.
02. Dream big. Let's build out a sustainable development strategy that grows with you.
03. Stick with the plan, and watch your dollars increase and your anxiety decrease.
Five Areas of Excellence
Our Five Areas of Excellence help us create an integrated, big-picture map to assess your specific needs and maximize your unique fundraising opportunities.
1. The Team: who is involved with raising money
2. Revenue: where is the money coming from and how much
3. Systems: what tools are used to raise money consistently and efficiently
4. Relationships: how do you find and keep people who are passionate about your mission
5. Communications, External and Internal: how do you talk about your mission and fundraising culture
Integrating Our Model & the Five Areas of Excellence
We map each area so you can see where you stand — from early stages to expertise. We use both data and discussion with your community to guide our assessment. We work together as one team, so the results match your mission, culture, and vision for what's next.
Based on findings from the assessment, fundRISING will create a two-tier operational plan that maps out immediate and future priorities with an accompanying dashboard for your organization to track success. You also will have access to a comprehensive toolkit for continuing implementation.
