Fundraising Starts With an Assessment.

The
development assessment of a nonprofit organization can be a critical
first step in preparing for a major fundraising initiative. Shapiro Associates begins each development assessment by focusing on the current
state of an organization's fundraising program and its growth potential
within the unique context of that organization.
The focus of fundraising
This focus is significant. We believe that the management of every fundraising program should be based upon a set of principles and best practices. The application of these principles and practices must, however, be tailored to each organization's specific needs and capabilities.
The importance of effective fundraising operations
In every development assessment, Shapiro Associates performs a thorough review and analysis — of the organization, its systems and its existing fundraising culture — and offers clear recommendations to strengthen the overall fundraising operation. The most effective assessments are those that improve an organization's fundraising philosophy, policies, practices and management.
Through
