Definitions
Resource development is the identification, attraction, and expansion of financial resources uniquely available to an organization. Smart resource development focuses on diversified sources with the goal of long-term sustainability. It creates the necessary systems, infrastructure, practices, competencies, and culture to attract and sustain investment in the organization's work on an ongoing basis.
Our Unique Approach
Nonprofit Impact believes in a constituent-centered approach to resource development. Organizations that build long-term relationships with donors and focus on their needs can successfully engage them in the organization's goals and vision for the future. These organizations have a clear plan for deliberately and strategically adding new donors and stewarding existing ones. They also have the necessary human, financial, technological, and organizational infrastructure to get the job done over the long term, independent of individuals or one-time opportunities.
Nonprofit Impact helps you create a strategic, integrated development program tailored to your organization's unique identity, constituency, and funding opportunities. Our process begins with a focused resource development assessment that analyzes an organization's infrastructure, processes, human resources, donors, and strategies. The assessment also identifies untapped funding potential.
The assessment becomes the basis for a constituent-centered development program focused on building relationships that move constituents from awareness, to action, to engagement, to long-term commitment. The program provides a road map to carry out strategies and create the necessary infrastructure to achieve goals.
Our team of experts will also assist you with systems development, skill-building, and coaching throughout the implementation process.
