Major Gifts/Planned Giving

More than 75 percent of non-religious donations in the United States are given by individuals (not foundations and big corporations).This means that cultivating relationships with donors is one of the primary keys to your long-term success. RBR Fundraising will assist you with the development of targeted major gifts and planned giving strategies to ensure your greatest success. 

Fundraising Plans
An annual fundraising plan can help the busy Executive Director plan his or her time more effectively.  First, we will visit with staff in order to complete a development audit of your organization. Then, we will meet with staff/Board to suggest ways that your development strategies may be improved.The plan will then be written up for approval by the Board. This new plan will serve as a road map for your future development success. 

Strategic Planning
As part of the strategic planning process, we will spend 1-3 days with the Board completing a group of exercises that will help everyone agree on the most important goals/objectives for the organization.  After this meeting time, we will write up the plan for your review. Our clients who have completed this process find it to be an invaluable experience.

Campaign Planning
Endowment, Membership, and Capital Campaigns all require an amazing amount of staff and Board time. We can assist you with every aspect of campaign planning by either (1) providing the Executive Director with a "cookbook" plan for the campaign or (2) planning and executing the entire campaign.

Special Event Planning
Special events are auctions, concerts and other community-based events, which bring both public awareness and money to an organization. We can assist the Executive Director with the planning of these sorts of events by either (1) providing a “cookbook” for the event, or (2) planning and executing the entire event.  

The Creation of Grant Databases
Your grant database will be specially tailored to your organization. Upon completion, you will have a listing of potential grant sources that are appropriate for your organization’s needs.The database will also be searchable by types of funding: ‘operations’, ‘special programs’, etc. Plus, you will be able to update the database as you learn of new grant-makers. 

Grant Writing
We helped cities, tribes and a number of 501(c)3 organizations secure millions of dollars from a variety of grant makers, including private foundations, government sources, and corporate giving programs.
