Development capacity evaluation

Butterflies in Progress, L.L.C. will work with you to determine your organization’s strengths and areas for improvement and to create a road map for your fundraising strategies, income projections, staffing recommendations and board participation possibilities.

BiP will assess your current systems and strategies and guide you in modifying your operations to maximize your fundraising. Sometimes the slightest tweak can mean a significant increase in income and, oftentimes, we can use your current resources to improve your fundraising capacity. The development capacity evaluation includes:

  • Reviewing your cultivation and “gratitude” activities
  • Assessing your current fundraising plan and actions
  • Analyzing your materials and your donor database
  • Conducting interviews with your stakeholders: board members and other volunteers, staff and members
  • Evaluating each aspect of your materials and activities
  • Investigating new fundraising options
  • Researching which potential donors, including corporations, foundations and individuals—identified by your staff and board—are most likely to give, what their giving capacity is, and the best strategy for approaching them
  • Creating a plan that encompasses the best potential fundraising path for you
