Development Assessments

An outside, objective review of an organization's overall fundraising program can help identify outdated strategies, unrealized opportunities, or areas that need fine-tuning.

A Graham-Pelton Development Assessment, done cooperatively with top management and fundraising staff, includes a thorough analysis of staffing and reporting lines, administrative policies and procedures, research and computer operations, direct mail and phone solicitation strategies, prospect development and cultivation techniques, donor recognition programs and retention rates, and compliance with tax and legal requirements.
