Development Planning

Need help with new fundraising strategies to grow your programs or build financial sustainability?

ZIM Consulting can help you increase your financial resources through fundraising campaigns, planned giving, individual donor cultivation, and corporate sponsorships. We believe that having clear, reasonable, and time-bound development targets is required to be successful. We assist you in selecting the best path to take and walk you through the steps necessary to reach your goals. We provide you with the tools you need to manage this fundamental process within your organization.

CASE STATEMENTS

ZIM will help you establish a Case Statement (also referred to as a Case for Support) that will help you outline your vision, programs, and needs for potential contributors to your organization. We write and design a document that unifies your staff, volunteers, and board members' understandings of key organizational goals and serves as a persuasive marketing piece for external audiences.

We will assess the effectiveness of your existing development strategies and discover and implement new strategies and tactics for increasing and diversifying revenue sources.
