Resource Development

Well-meaning leaders often worry too much about the costs of growth and too little about the cost of not growing. There's no such thing as "stasis" in the life of a faith community, non-profit organization, or political campaign. You're either growing forward or you're falling back.

So what's an organization or campaign with a small budget to do? Nancy can help manage the cost of investing in growth by:

1. Budgeting for growth.

Your budget should tell the story of your organization and that story should read "growth is our priority." Does it? Nancy will help you analyze your budget and make wise decisions about how to get the biggest bang for your buck.

2. Fund raising and grant writing.

Nancy has proven success in donor cultivation, member appeals, major gifts, capital campaigns, and fund raising events. She's also an accomplished grant writer. Let her help you raise the additional resources you need.

3. Identifying hidden assets.

Nancy can help you identify and make use of hidden assets that could be growth opportunities, such as:

Issues and needs in the larger community.
Areas of conflict within your organization. Conflicts that are strategically managed can stimulate growth.
Less active members who could become committed leaders and generous donors if you inspired them with action.
Constituencies and community partners you could be engaging in your work but haven't yet invited.
