Because we are a full-service firm, we integrate fundraising and information tools to create an environment where contributing is the natural thing to do. What's the Plan?“The Ask” is a term frequently used in the fundraising business. Ideally, it’s the culmination of detailed planning and preparation at the point where you present your case and your request to your target audience: the potential donor. But well before getting to “The Ask,” Motley Media Concepts conducts a comprehensive fundraising or campaign planning study. In this study, we conduct dozens of confidential, one-on-one interviews with volunteers, select staff members, and key community leaders, including corporate and charitable foundation representatives. We determine the challenges and identify the strengths - and potential weaknesses - of your campaign. And, most important, we estimate just how much money “The Ask” could realistically generate if the campaign is properly planned and executed. This estimate is based on several factors, including the strengths of your organization, the perception of need in the community, and the level of prospective donors. Our planning study is vital, because it provides the blueprint for your entire campaign and a preliminary measure of its potential for success. Grant AssiatanceGrants are a major source of funding given to non-profit organizations by companies. Most grants are written specifically to fund one project. Non-profits invest considerable time into obtaining grants because of the great return they can bring. The problem is many non-profit organizations lack the how-to needed to write a grant that will ultimately be a deciding factor in whether or not a grantor will accept or deny a grant. In addition to the writing of the grant, planning, researching data and submitting the proposal are also involved. Motley Media partners with grant writers that have the experience and know-how in finding the right grant for your organization, completing the daunting mission of writing the task and getting the most money available for the cause. |
Fundraising pertains to the efforts that are used to collect funds for non-profit organizations. This is the primary way that non-profit organizations receive a majority of their funds. Fundraising methods include: benefit events, capital campaigns (an effort to raise a major amount of money for a specific project), product fundraising, online fundraising, annual campaigns (funds from this are used for everyday operations of an organization).
