With so many consultancy services saturating the market, it can be difficult to know what kind of consultancy you want to hire. This article particularly deals with Fundraising consultancy firms, and how can they help you in achieving a particular set of objectives.

Fundraising consulting firms basically help you in setting up fundraisers either for your business or your non-profit organization. They can either manage your fundraiser from start to finish or help you in assisting a few critical tasks in case you’re planning to manage it all by yourself.

But when do you feel the need to hire a fundraising consulting firm? We take a look at tasks that a fundraising firm can help you with:

  1. Start a Capital Campaign: Capital campaigns require a lot of planning and preparation, hence the need for a consulting firm becomes evident. A consultant can help you organize and set up your campaign to ensure that the campaign is in the right track and all the targeted goals are being met.
  2. Planning a Fundraiser: An important of planning a fundraiser is promoting it to as many people as you can, so that they can attend your event. A fundraiser consulting firm can help you create a promotional plan to help attract the maximum number of audience and generate their interest in your fundraiser in order to make it a success. The more the number of attendees, the better!
  3. Multiple methods of donations: Even if the number of attendees is at a desired quantity, it never hurts to have extra donations from people who wish to attend but could not come in person due to various factors. Hence a fundraiser consultancy firm can help you set up online donation systems to help gather funds from a vast range of audience, provided they marketed and promoted your fundraiser to a large audience effectively.
  4. Donor Data: A consultancy can help you gather information about your donors and store them in case you need to invite them to a future fundraising event. They’ll analyze all the available data and segregate it according to your needs and order of preference, so that each successive fundraiser planning costs less and focuses more on newer audience.
  5. Feasibility planning: A fundraiser can be a success only if the targeted funds are successfully raised from both offline and online donations. A consultancy will help you plan the feasibility of your fundraiser and analyze whether your campaign can achieve the goals or not, and what can be done to improve it.
