Strengthen Your Annual Giving. Grow Your Impact.

At DBD Group, we know that annual giving is more than just a calendar-year fundraising plan—it’s the lifeblood of your mission. It fuels your programs today, builds relationships for tomorrow’s major gifts, and keeps your organization top-of-mind in the community all year long.

We believe the best results come from a thoughtful blend of strategy, creativity, and human connection. That’s why we take time to understand where your organization is right now—your strengths, your challenges, and your aspirations—before customizing a plan that works for you. Whether you’re looking to grow your major gifts program, tell your story in a way that moves people to action, make better use of your donor data, or build a stronger stewardship program, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

When you work with DBD Group, you gain more than a plan—you gain a trusted partner. We’ll equip you with actionable tools, resources, and best practices drawn from our experience with hundreds of nonprofits. And we’ll walk alongside you, offering expert counsel, encouragement, and a steady hand to keep you focused and inspired.

Our Annual Giving Coaching can include:

  • Campaign planning with clear goals and metrics
  • Identification and engagement strategies for top prospects
  • Donor stewardship planning and coaching
  • Major gifts program development
  • Donor acquisition and retention strategies
  • Compelling case development
  • Training and mentoring for staff and volunteers
  • Actionable tools, templates and resources

The work you’re doing matters. Let’s make sure your annual giving program gives it the fuel it deserves—today and for years to come.
