Philanthropy & Fundraising

Maximize your organization’s philanthropic and fundraising capacity.

We help you define philanthropic strategies, deploy more effective campaigns, build stronger donor relationships, and ensure effective processes.

For nearly two decades, we have supported organizations like yours through annual, capital, and endowment campaigns with goals ranging from $100,000 to $100+ million. Through resource development support, we will evaluate and create a unique fundraising plan for you so you can raise the funds you need to achieve annual goals, build and sustain your dream facilities and programs, and grow your endowment.

Our approach:

Evaluate your readiness for a campaign: your fundraising team, the case for support, the strength of your annual giving efforts, engagement with major gift prospects, and your fundraising systems.
Test the feasibility of your goals and plans.
Prepare board, staff, and volunteers for the rigors of a well-planned and properly executed campaign.
Develop fundraising strategies that best match your culture, resources, and community.
Train and support campaign staff and volunteers.
1:1 fundraising coaching for fundraisers or c-suite leaders

Sometimes unlocking the power of your fundraising requires extra hands (and feet). When you need us, we get into the trenches with you to get the work done with our team of expert case and grant writers, graphic designers, prospect researchers, campaign execution specialists, event planners, estate planners and more.

Let's Get Started

"I have had the privilege to work with Armstrong McGuire in several capacities over the past eight years: serving on a planning committee where they were brought in to assist with fundraising strategy, hiring them to lead a $7M feasibility study, and providing grant funding for partners to hire them for strategic needs. With every correspondence and interaction, I am impressed not only by the expertise of the entire team, I am inspired by the genuine love for the work they do and the organizations they partner with. Working with AM feels like working with an extension of your team. They make time to truly understand your organization’s needs and culture to help achieve your mission."

Amy Beros

Senior Director, Network Fundraising & Strategic Services

The ArmstrongMcGuire team was thorough and highly engaged in helping us assess the needs for Passage Home and aligning those needs to a CEO candidate profile. Armstrong McGuire participated with Passage Home’s CEO Search Committee and led us through the candidate interview process and selection criteria. The search was a huge success and went smoothly thanks to their teamwork. I have recently worked with ArmstrongMcGuire on consulting services for capacity building, feasibility studies, and fundraising strategy. I highly recommend Armstrong McGuire.
