Annual Fund Management

A strong and comprehensive annual fund program is the foundation for every mature fundraising program, and is the pipeline to major gifts. Graham-Pelton Consulting has a proven track record of designing and implementing annual giving programs that expand our client's donor base, as well as increasing average gifts.

After completing an analysis of an organization's annual activities - including donor databases, communications activities, donor recognition and events, and marketing activities - Graham-Pelton Consulting will help assess past giving patterns of all constituencies and offer recommendations for enhancing your annual appeal.

Specifically, we analyze goal setting; strategy design implementation and evaluation; staff structure and volunteer leadership; effective volunteer networks; and opportunities for professional development to keep staff and volunteers aware of changes in the fundraising area.
