Our Experts and Ways they can help:

 

Meet Sharon

Sharon can help you by:

 

Creating lists, including contacts for corporate giving. Let’s work together to keep the funnel full.

 

Research/Discovery/Landscape/Define: Team Kat & Mouse will conduct research and analyze these accounts for your team. We will review their past community engagement, including key contacts and any available articles.

If they are a corporation, we will investigate how they have previously funded or engaged with nonprofits.

 

We will identify their areas of focus (pillars), determine whether they provide funding through grants (in which case, we will coordinate with Ben), and assess their interest in employee involvement, among other factors.

If it is a community partner or another nonprofit, we will explore how we can best engage with them to create a mutually beneficial relationship.

 

Once we have defined their goals, we will develop offerings that align with and support our mission, providing options for your team to present.

 

Partnerships can expand your  organization’s influence, broaden your network of "friends," and enhance your credibility . We will work with you to identify and solicit partners and develop a plan to fund these new partnerships 

 

Telling your story Creating Proposals, Letters, and One-Sheets: We will craft materials to effectively present your mission to potential partners and funders.

 

Email Blasts-We will create targeted messaging for you to share with Donors and potential donors.

 

Strategy, theme and tactical plan for Q4 Fundraising- We will work (in conjunction with your Marketing Director) to maximize this traditionally philanthropy focused time of year.
