services

The Fundraising System’s flagship service, Advanced Fundraising Management Coaching, begins with a comprehensive audit of your fundraising capacity (staffing, systems, donors, prospects, etc.). I then work with the organization’s development staff, in a tightly structured manner, to introduce new systems (or improve existing ones) for identifying and researching prospects, devising orderly cultivation and solicitation strategies, enhancing the quality of written and oral presentations, accelerating tempo and adhering to deadlines, tracking key metrics, and improving overall efficiency in order to enhance the quantity and effectiveness of solicitations and exceed revenue goals.

For organizations not certain that Advanced Fundraising Management Coaching is needed, The Fundraising System can conduct a stand-alone audit of organizational fundraising practices in order to assess capacity in terms of staff roles, management protocols, materials, technology, board engagement, and more.

While Individual Giving requires sustained, intensive personal interaction, much of the Institutional Giving function of a development office can be conducted remotely. The Fundraising System can fulfill the role of the Institutional Giving staff on either an interim or permanent basis.

The Fundraising System can work with board, staff, and other stakeholders to elicit and articulate a strategic plan for the coming years. Specific services include stakeholder interviews, retreat planning and facilitation, online surveys, charettes, and drafting of documents.

For small and medium-sized organizations contemplating a capital, endowment or other special campaign, The Fundraising System can oversee all aspects of the campaign, from initial ideation through feasibility study, case statement research and drafting, development and production of marketing materials, prospect identification, leadership identification and preparation, cultivation and solicitation tracking, committee meeting facilitation and reporting, and more. 

The Fundraising System’s founder, Matt Bregman, is available for both online and in-person trainings for staff, boards and others. Trainings can be as short as one-hour or as long as three days, and can be customized to the specific needs of your organization or community. 

With over three decades of nonprofit fundraising experience, Matt Bregman has seen and done it all. Let me know if you have a specific nonprofit-related need we might be able to help you with.
