Fundraising Audits:
Some organizations may not be ready for a ByrneAllen fundraising campaign. The organization's volunteer leadership and staff simply need to know what they are doing right, and what would make their volunteer fundraising efforts more effective.

ByrneAllen has worked with and raised millions of dollars on behalf of Christian organizations, such as, Christian education centers, Christian schools and Habitat for Humanity. We incorporate our extensive experience into a comprehensive review of your organization's fundraising operations, including detailed suggested changes that will make your fundraising efforts more effective.

Fundraising Audits include (i) one full observation day on-site, (ii) 30 days of research and report preparation, and (iii) one full on-site day of report presentation with affiliate leadership and staff.

Strategic Plan Development:
We believe in the old adage: "if you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there." In order to successfully raise more money, an organization must know "where it is going."

Through a structured two-day Strategic Planning Retreat, ByrneAllen helps your staff develop a realistic, multi-year operational and fundraising plan that takes into account the operational and fundraising realities of our organization, your constituency and your community.

We help you structure a plan that will receive maximum financial and community support from all potential funding sources. A comprehensive written plan is presented to your organization within two weeks of the Strategic Planning Retreat.

Comprehensive Feasibility Study:
Some organizations already have a multi-year strategic plan and are ready to move forward with a fundraising campaign. Because ByrneAllen will be responsible for raising the financial commitments during a campaign, our feasibility studies are substantially more thorough than the typical sampling of 25-35 potential donors conducted by most "fundraising consultants."

ByrneAllen conducts 80-100 (or more), one-on-one, face-to-face confidential interviews with members, past and present donors, foundations and other potential donors during a 60-day feasibility study. Based on these interviews, we evaluate and measure the philosophical and potential financial support for your mission and your multi-year plan.

At the conclusion of our study, we detail our findings and recommendations in a written report that includes a campaign goal that ByrneAllen will guarantee to raise.

Fundraising Campaign & Guaranteed Fundraising Goal:
Following the two-month study, your organization is under no obligation to engage ByrneAllen for a fundraising campaign. If you elect to move forward with a fundraising campaign, ByrneAllen will guarantee to raise the campaign goal through one-on-one solicitation meetings with potential donors. We place our reputation and a portion of our compensation on the line, guaranteeing to reach your goal prior to the end of the eight-month campaign.
