Why Work With us?

What is Social Capital Fundraising?
Social Capital Fundraising (SCF) is an approach to donor engagement that expands the social capital of everyone involved: the donors and the organization.

One-On-One.
We’ll prepare you and your organization to fundraise successfully with the following programs to build and sustain strong donor engagement.
Building Cases For Giving.
Identify what your donors and potential donors hope to achieve through their giving to your organization, all while ensuring your actual funding needs are met.
Getting to Know your Donors.
The mission of your organization is a starting point for developing a donor profile that can guide donor prospecting and development.
Building Proposals that leverage Social Capital.
Proposals that leverage social capital align donor interests and values with your organization’s mission.
Learn A New Way.
Video Lessons on The Social Capital Fundraising Model begin with a general overview and then dig deeper into the science behind the method and strategies for applying the model.
Empowering Your Audiences.
We are passionate about bridging philanthropy research with fundraising practice. We do this through trainings, presentations, and talks. Our research focuses primarily on fundraising practice and the impact that nonprofit organizations have on community well-being, but the science of philanthropy is our role across many topics.
Interested in the history of philanthropy, the economic role of the nonprofit sector, philanthropy ethics, nonprofit organizations, or leadership? Let us know what you want to learn more about, and we will customize a training or talk for you.

Power to the People.
Successful, meaningful philanthropy is both an art and a science. Unfortunately, neither art nor science is represented very well in current fundraising models or in the way fundraisers are managed. Creativity is discouraged with punitive management models that only measure visits, solicitations, and gifts. Our mission it to empower fundraising with evidence-based solutions that challenge old models built upon anecdotal evidence and, let’s face it, unproven ideas.
