Fundraising

Not all fundraising is alike.

While many nonprofit organizations successfully raise funds for existing programs or operational expenses, when it comes to expanding services, they may not know where to start to raise funds.

Allison Sampson Management Consultants (ASMC) has a depth of experience to meet wide-ranging fundraising needs.

ASMC manages fundraising through several avenues:

  • Assesses current fundraising efforts
  • Advises on development strategy
  • Conducts resource development, identifying potential funders
  • Trains boards of directors and staff in fundraising techniques
  • Coordinates and prepares government and foundation grants
  • Produces special events

For the Redondo Beach Library Foundation, which supports the Redondo Beach Library System, ASMC provided counsel on how to secure funds for a new library branch building. ASMC advised strategies for tackling the fundraising initiative, wrote the foundation's first grant application, and conducted a fundraising campaign study. The foundation has launched its project.

ASMC has also worked with governmental entities such as the Angeles Zoo and its support group, the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association (GLAZA). Specifically, ASMC analyzed fundraising efforts and made substantive recommendations for change. The Los Angles Zoo covers over 100 acres and is home to over 1,200 mammals, birds, and reptiles, including many rare and endangered species. The Zoo depends on its support group to raise programming funds necessary for its operations.

ASMC also studied the Zoo's concessions contract to further increase operating support for programming. For this assignment, ASMC, working with a team of experts, developed a new Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Los Angeles Zoo's food concession program. As a result, a new concession contract was award that increased the overall positive quality of guests' experience at the Los Angeles Zoo.

Let Allison Sampson Management Consultants advance your organization with fundraising strategies to carry you into the future and improve your bottom line.
