Let's get your nonprofit its largest gift ever.

We partner with nonprofit leaders to attract ten times the support for the worthiest of causes.

Many high-level philanthropists have the resources and willingness to give more, but just haven’t been asked in the right way yet. Philanthropic Fundraising can help your nonprofit attract and secure the support of major donors, leverage their commitment to generate more funding, and implement best practice strategies for sustainable fundraising.

Gudrun draws on her experience fundraising tens[1]  of millions of dollars to ensure your organization’s donor cultivation strategy and requests for support are tactful and compelling. She works with you to recruit and manage fundraisers and volunteers, and ensure they are on-message and inspiring. Whether this is your organization’s first capital campaign or major gift effort, or your 100th, Gudrun and the Philanthropic Fundraising team will make it as successful and enjoyable as possible!

 

The number one reason people give is that they were asked.
