Ready to move your fundraising in a new direction?
We are ready to be your guide. With more than 25 years of experience, Parrish Consulting has the kind of fundraising savvy that will bring focus to your work and keep your organization moving on its annual fund development program, capital campaigns and more.
But it’s not just on-the-ground experience that makes us different. When you work with us, you won’t get a consultant with lots of opinions and few practical solutions. You’ll get a partner who helps shift your thinking, build your team and strengthen your tools. Our style reflects our distinct:
- Focus on annual fund development. Whether we are consulting on your annual fund or your capital campaign, we believe that a strong annual fund program is at the heart of an organization’s sustainability. It is the key to deep relationships with donors who not only give generously but advocate passionately. Therefore, our approach is designed to create the building blocks of your annual fund, with a special focus on helping you shift into a thriving major gifts program.
- Emphasis on partnership. We often work with clients for the long term, helping them navigate the transition from outdated systems and old approaches to a robust major gifts program and smart tools. We are accessible and approachable, using regularly scheduled conversations to provide ongoing guidance and stay connected to your organization’s changing needs.
- Blend of strategy, tools and coaching. Fundraising isn’t about overnight success. We think it’s about taking smart and sensible steps in the right direction, with the right people. This is why we focus on making fundraising a practical and accessible part of your daily routine. We work with your administrative team to simplify workflow, coach your leadership on new practices, and help your board see the big picture while committing to the small steps.
These qualities have helped our clients achieve success beyond what they experienced with more traditional fundraising approaches. Learn about our results while working with them, or read testimonials from nonprofit leaders we’ve supported.
