A Roadmap for Fundraising in the United States

To help the largest literacy organization in India fundraise in the United States, we provided strategic counsel and fundraising services. We conducted interviews and market research to determine donors’ needs, conducted a robust communications audit of the 20 chapters, facilitated workshops with national and chapter leaders. We then engaged in a strategic process that mapped out the organizational priorities and a detailed 24-month action plan in the areas of fundraising, events, and communications. We subsequently developed fundraising materials for donors, fundraising guides for chapter leaders, and marketing for P2P and other fundraising initiatives.

Hillel

Assessing Marketing Needs & Priorities

What’s the best way to reach Jewish college students? What messages resonate? What technology should be used? The UJA-Federation of New York had questions. We found the answers. We convened leaders from the 11 Hillels in the New York region to assess their needs. Using marketing audits, surveys, and focus groups, we created recommendations for how the UJA should best allocate funds to support Hillel.

Defining Member Benefits

A professional membership organization wanted to better understand the needs of its members. We conducted an immersive assessment of member needs with surveys, focus groups, and interviews for domestic and international members and young professional segments. With a full understanding of member needs, we developed three different member personas based on career stage and recommendations for different value propositions and segmented communications.
