Join the nonprofit trend using Ask A Fundraiser to develop successful fundraising plans.

We are deeply grateful for all you taught us and for allowing us to have that important experience. It was our very first team fundraising pitch - and all of it came from you and what you taught us.

Steve Rowland, TOOJ - Color Congress Participant

The program makes what most perceive as difficult to understand, what fundraising truly means. The knowledge and processes that we learned are so helpful in getting our messaging clear and easy to share.

Wendy Hickey - Founder/Executive Director

You don’t know what you don’t know. Once we got into the tool, I was able to see where we were. We thought we had a 3-year plan, but our 3-year plan didn’t encompass all the things or even the amount of money we needed to raise over 3 years. It was an eye-opener in the sense that 1) you need this much money and 2) you have to ask for it. You have to get grants or individual donors to support it.

Fundraising is consistently changing. Even with a small team you can stay up-to-date with the resources we provide.

Frequently Asked Question(s)

What is Ask A Fundraiser?

Ask A Fundraiser is an innovative online E-tool solution designed to support nonprofit organizations in developing their fundraising infrastructure and tools. It leverages cutting-edge technology to take organizations through the process of developing individualized fundraising plans using an interactive and user-friendly online platform. Our step-by-step approach supports organizations in the development of their comprehensive three-year strategic plan for fundraising, budget, case for support, gift pyramid, stewardship structure, policies and procedures manual, and an organizational pitch that will resonate with funders.

How does Ask A Fundraiser work?

Ask A Fundraiser works by utilizing a step-by-step approach for users to build their fundraising plans and collateral material. Users can access the product through a web browser or dedicated mobile application. The signature deliverables from this E-Tool are the production of an organization’s fundraising case for support and personalized narrative to use in the fundraising process (newsletters, grant applications, letters, annual reports, etc.). After signing-up for the E-Tool, users begin the program by selecting a case for support template that will house their final fundraising case for support. After selecting a design, they can begin the program by watching the tutorial videos and completing each section of the E-Tool. Content that is needed for the final case for support is pulled from the user’s worksheets throughout the program and auto-populated into the selected design.

Ask A Fundraiser can be used for a wide range of purposes. It enables users to build their organization’s case for support, personalized and standardized fundraising narrative, three-year fundraising goals, gift pyramid (fundraising strategies for higher level donors), stewardship structures (donor benefits and recognition structures), policies and procedures manual or individual fundraising processes, documents portfolio, and standardized fundraising talking points that will resonate with funders.
