Michael Soper

Perhaps more than any other activity, fundraising is about people. It's about great donors and terrific professionals. How to more deeply involve the donor and the professional is always the challenge.

It is a challenge because you are not the only nonprofit seeking to change your donor's giving priorities -- other nonprofits share the same means, but have different ends!

It's a challenge because your own professional staff must be growing as well. When your staff feels that each year's successes only earns them the right to work harder the next year, your competition will be recruiting your best fundraisers.

Working with expert outside professionals addresses both challenges. A "Joint Fundraising Review" is an opportunity for professional growth and can energize and deepen your institution's relationships with donors.

See if a one or one and one-half day retreat doesn't provide great returns to you, your staff, and those who support your institution. Lets discuss what's possible when you have an expert fundraising partner.

TEAMSOPER'S JOINT FUNDRAISING REVIEW

Most clients begin working with TeamSoper as part of their own review of fundraising, development, and / or institutional advancement programs.

Sometime described by potential clients or other consultants as a "Development Audit," TeamSoper's process involves a nonprofit's top management and key professionals. We believe it is more accurately described as a "Joint Review."

Michael Soper, TeamSoper's President, assists your entire development and fundraising team over a day and one-half series of on-site meetings to identify areas of success and those areas that need improvement.

Group discussions focus on identified and tested industry best practices in the areas of membership, mid-level and major giving, corporate sponsorship and foundation grants.

Challenges include increasing net income through gains in revenue or reductions in expenses. Action plans are produced with an intensive focus on the best success measures to achieve the organization's overall development goals. A complete written report is provided to all participants.

TeamSoper assists the management and staff of nonprofit organizations with a review of their entire fundraising program, its activities and their results. Or, based on the interests of our client, TeamSoper can more tightly focus the review on one or more of the following areas:

  • Lower-level individual support from membership or donorship programs
  • Mid-level donor clubs or societies
  • Major donor programs, circles or societies
  • Web site and e-mail based fundraising and relationship development programs
  • Corporate support initiatives and program / event underwriting
  • Foundation funding / project & proposal development
  • R&D / dream creation & new service innovation
  • Customer service programs & enhancements
  • Professional development & performance reviews

Regardless of the challenges facing your nonprofit, the chances are great that TeamSoper can assist you and your team in identifying the specific problems, discovering the obstacles to progress, reaching agreement on how to measure success, and creating new action plans to advance the organization's goals.

The professional fees associated with TeamSoper's on-site "Joint Review" is less than many spend on sending one or two staff members to a workshop or conference.

Consider the benefits of engaging your entire team in a review of their performance -- celebrating their successes and finding the most promising areas for improvement. We believe there is value in both the process and the resulting plans.
