Base Building for Values-Based Fundraising
Do you need more donors? Of course, you do.
But not just any donor will do.
It’s important to find donors who will be with you for the long haul. Donors who are committed to your mission and who share your organizational values.
Our Community Engagement Opportunities are a tried-and-true donor acquisition system that offers an open door and warm welcome to all who are interested – then helps you stay connected with those who choose to engage.
We’ll help you build your own Community Engagement Opportunity and integrate it into your fundraising practice. You choose the level of support.

Values-Based Grants
Grants provide important funding for mission-driven organizations.
But getting grants is frustrating. Long applications. Not enough information. Impossible deadlines. And in too many cases, all that work leads to nothing.
And the whole system is unjust – great wealth is held by a few powerful, mostly white, people and doled out in little pieces to nonprofits willing to abide by the rules the grant maker imposes.
So, what do you do? How can you feel good about being part of this system?
Start with YOUR values.
In the Values-Based Grants package, you get:
1
3 hours of facilitated conversations and exercises to help you define how values guide your grant seeking
2
Key grant seeking tools
-
Grants strategy and practice screen
-
Values-based case statement
-
Values-based grant template
3
Two months of text and email support as you begin using your new tools
Cost: $20,000

Values-Based Events
Mission-centered events raise more money.
