Experience behind the work.

We know the work behind a meaningful gift, a successful event, and a database your team can actually rely on. Our team brings experience in major gifts, legacy planning, events, data administration, and direct mail, with a willingness to take on the detailed work that keeps fundraising moving.

Major gifts & legacy planning

$20M+

Raised through major-gift management and legacy planning. Our experience is rooted in finding the diamonds in the rough: donors whose potential, connection to the mission, or readiness for a deeper conversation might otherwise be overlooked.

We bring that perspective to your donor relationships, helping your team see beyond the last gift and build thoughtful cultivation plans around the person behind it.

Data administration & direct mail

The operational weight, off your shoulders.

We have shouldered data administration and importing work for a $12M+ nonprofit. We understand the responsibility of keeping donor information usable while the rest of the organization keeps moving.

With data and direct-mail experts on the team, we can help connect the behind-the-scenes work to the outreach it supports: thoughtfully selected audiences, well-prepared appeals, and practical follow-through.

Major events, galas & nonprofit advising

More than a memorable evening.

Our experience includes work on major events and galas, alongside advising multiple nonprofits. We understand how much an important gathering asks of a team, and how much opportunity sits in the relationships around it.

We help you think beyond the event itself: how it fits your fundraising goals, who you want to engage, and how to carry those conversations into lasting donor relationships.
