A fresh approach to fund development grounded in practical expertise
This is an energizing time to be working for social change. The environment is shifting more than ever before thanks to economic realities, changes in donor demographics, new technology and more. At Parrish Consulting, we view these shifts as opportunities that should be embraced by nonprofits and philanthropic organizations. There has never been a better time to evaluate how we achieve our missions and engage our communities as donors.
Since our start in 2007, we have sought new thinking and smarter approaches to fundraising that serve the realities of the day and also strengthen nonprofits for the future. As the most established firm in West Michigan specializing in annual fund development, we have developed an open system of fundraising that frees nonprofits from dead-end cycles of generic asks and template-like tactics.
This distinct approach has evolved through our work with hundreds of organizations, but it began long before that when we were nonprofit employees ourselves. Our practical expertise gives us the understanding about nonprofit culture that’s needed to cut through uncertainty and start reaching donors. Most importantly, we offer a customized approach to meet each individual organization's unique needs.
