Annual Campaigns
TPG helps organizations evaluate the need for, plan, and implement an effective, on-going source of income. We walk with the organization step-by step through the process, beginning with a needs assessment. TPG also provides assistance with:
- Annual campaign planning, including purpose, goals, implementation strategies and timetables
- Campaign structure, including leadership, volunteer and staff roles
- Structure for planning events surrounding the campaign
- Staff and volunteer training
Endowment Building and Planned Giving
A strong planned giving and endowment building program helps your organization create the long-term financial stability that attracts more, and more significant donations. Because of its experience, TPG Philanthropy Group can help create an effective structure that supports planned giving, as well as endowment building and meets your organization's strategic objectives. TPG helps develop
- Policies and procedures
- Planned-gift donor recognition program
- Memorial/in-honor programs
- Giving-methods educational and communications materials
Grant and Proposal Writing
Effective proposal and grant writing is more than a fill-in-the-blank process. It’s about positioning, understanding the potential funder as much as you do the program and adding a WOW ingredient. In addition to single proposal engagement, TPG can function as your organization’s Grants Office, enabling you to be proactive and to increase the number of grant, contract, coop, program-related investment, and appropriations proposals submitted and supported.
Prospect Identification, Research, and Qualification
Most organizations know potential funders are “out there,” but don’t know how to identify them. TPG helps expand your organization’s ability to identify, research and qualify relevant funding sources to raise the level of your impact and funding. Using formal and informal research methods, we help you increase your capacity to track, cultivate, and solicit current and new sources of support. The results will be more and greater funding opportunities better aligned with your strategic objectives and initiatives, and increased opportunity for success.
Earned Income Strategies and Implementation
Every organization wants more money for its mission. TPG helps you identify the opportunities to create new revenue streams beyond your traditional fund-raising options. And TPG helps you put the structure, strategic business plans and implementation in place to make it work.
Training and Coaching
TPG offers training and coaching to help your staff, board and volunteers make the most of the tools, programs and fund raising strategies you implement. From one-on-one sessions to day-long team meetings, we arm your people with the confidence and enthusiasm that results in a more effective campaign or organization.
