Four tips for building a fundraising plan.

By Mary Moss, Founding Partner. “I just want to stay the same”…said no nonprofit leader ever. I have never worked with a nonprofit leader who said, “We just want to stay the same. Can you help us do that?” Every nonprofit leader I have known in this business is here because of their passion to want to be better, improve, serve, and engage more people. It’s who we are. The issue is HOW to improve. That is when moss+ross gets the call to help.

A Ravenscroft parent and Cathedral leader remembered me from earlier days and thought our firm could help them complete their fundraising. And, that we did, helping them toward a $46 million final result. We met with the Bishop and his team regularly as we helped chart a path of success for them during the last years of their campaign. On that July day, I was in awe of this gorgeous addition to our community which will support the growing Catholic population in this Diocese, and moss+ross was honored to have been their fundraising partner. Similarly, at SECU Family House in Chapel [...]
