How we work

A four-phase engagement model.

Every project moves through the same four phases, whether it's a one-week query cleanup or building your entire development operation from the ground up and running it as your team.

01
Discover

Stakeholder interviews, a database snapshot, and a written read-out of what's happening in your data. Starting from scratch, we also map your gift flow, donor base, staffing gaps, and fundraising calendar, so we know exactly what has to be built.

02
Design

A pragmatic plan: what to fix, what to leave alone, sequencing, and who owns each piece. For a ground-up build, we design the whole operation: the fundraising calendar, gift workflows, moves management, and the donor strategy that drives the asks.

03
Build

Configuration, cleanup, training, and documentation, done with your team, not just for them. When there's no team in place, we stand the operation up and run it: launching appeals, cultivating and soliciting donors, managing relationships, and processing every gift.

04
Sustain

Quarterly check-ins, optional retainer support, and playbooks your team can hand off internally. Or we stay on as your development team, carrying the donor relationships and the revenue, either long-term or until you're ready to bring it in-house.

Common questions

Before you book a call.

Do we have to be on Raiser's Edge to work with you?+

No. Most of our clients are on RE NXT, but our framework, ops, online giving, and audit work translates directly to Salesforce NPSP, Bloomerang, DonorPerfect, and Virtuous. Data migration engagements typically begin on a non-RE platform.

How do engagements usually start?+

Either a short scoped audit (two to four weeks) or a focused project — a campaign build, migration, or events system. From there many clients move into a quarterly retainer.

Do you work with finance teams too?+

Yes. Gift entry, reconciliation, pledge balances, and year-end receipting all sit on the development/finance boundary. Many of our SOPs are co-authored with finance leads.

Can you train our team instead of doing it for them?+

Capacity-building is a core part of every engagement. We document every workflow we build and run knowledge-transfer sessions before any project closes.

Where are you based, and do you travel?+

We work remotely with clients across North America. On-site visits for kick-offs, board sessions, or campaign launches are scoped per engagement.
