The next level of fundraising can be hard to build from the inside.
Your team may be doing strong work today while also preparing for a campaign, pursuing larger gifts, activating a board, or building a fundraising capability that doesn't yet exist.
We bring advanced expertise and hands-on support to help you see what's possible and put it into practice.
We work in three areas.
Major & Mega Gifts
Pursue the largest giving opportunities within reach.
You may have strong donor relationships but too few significant asks. A major gifts program that has plateaued. A donor base with capacity that hasn't been fully explored. Or an experienced team ready to build a principal and mega gifts capability.
We help nonprofits identify where the greatest giving opportunities are and build what it takes to pursue them.
Board Fundraising
Turn board commitment into fundraising action.
Your board may care deeply about the mission but struggle to translate its relationships into fundraising. A few members may be carrying the work. Staff may be doing the reminding and follow-up. Or a longtime board member may be leaving with donor relationships no one else holds.
We go beyond board training to define roles and expectations, activate relationships, build accountability, and address the leadership or governance issues that may be limiting fundraising.
Capital Campaigns
Build the campaign and the fundraising operation behind it.
You may be considering a campaign and wondering whether you're ready. Or you may have a goal in mind but not yet know whether your donors can support it.
We lead nonprofits from the earliest questions about campaign readiness through feasibility, the major and mega gift phases, and public launch.
Experienced fundraising teams bring Gravity in to go further.
Many of our clients already have experienced fundraising leaders and teams. They bring Gravity in when they want to raise at a level their current fundraising operation wasn't built to support.
That might mean building a new fundraising capability while the team continues to manage the work, or finding greater potential within the donors and relationships they already have. We bring experience from across dozens of nonprofits to help your team identify the opportunity and work through the decisions that move it forward.
We work alongside the expertise already inside your nonprofit to help you raise at a level you haven't before.
We work alongside your team to put strategy into practice.
Some clients bring Gravity in for a defined challenge. Others work with us over a longer period through a capital campaign or major and mega gift initiative.
We don't stop at telling you what should happen next. We help you make it happen.
We conduct the research, build the materials, facilitate the conversations, prepare your people, and work through consequential fundraising decisions alongside you.
Our meetings are working sessions. We go donor by donor and decision by decision, making choices and building what is needed.
Your nonprofit retains its donor relationships and ownership of the fundraising operation. We bring the expertise and additional capacity to help your team move the work forward and build on it after we're gone.
Let's talk about what you're working through.
