Every year, non-profit organizations raise money to support their mission in the community and around the world. This important work lays the foundation for larger gifts in the future and raises the awareness of your mission within the community.

Together we can do more than we can each do alone.

Through DBD Group's Annual Giving Coaching, you’ll have an experienced counselor to help your organization through the planning and implementation of your year-long work. You’ll benefit from the knowledge we’ve gained through our work with so many other non-profits. By balancing the best practices that have worked well for other organizations, as well as innovating new and creative methods and marketing, we’ll work together to build a well-rounded campaign that will serve your organization this year and into the future.

Included in Annual Giving Coaching:

  • Campaign planning and metrics
  • Top prospect identification and engagement strategies
  • Donor stewardship planning and coaching
  • Major gifts program development
  • Strategies to acquire and retain new donors
  • Case development
  • Training and mentoring for volunteers and staff
