Boost your database

Grow your organization with increased funders

With erratic federal and state funding, organizations are finding ways to generate their own funds. Wipfli’s proven team collaborates with nonprofit organizations like yours to provide new donor contacts and create a development plan to help improve your financial sustainability. Included with this service are:

• Starting or enhancing your database with 1,000 new contacts who have an interest in your type of organization and have capacity and propensity to give.
• Analyzing up to 500 of your current contacts (if applicable) for their interest, capacity and propensity to give.
• Coming away with a mini development plan for those 1,000 new contacts and 500 current contacts.
• Discussing the plan (two-hour phone meeting).
