Nonprofit
Below is a sampling of KCG’s nonprofit initiatives:
Fundraising and Marketing Assessment - Our assessment enables clients to identify internal barriers to success as well as external environmental conditions. Findings are used to develop both near-term and long-term initiatives that improve mission awareness and fundraising performance.
Organizational Strategy and Business Planning - An effective strategy maps out identifiable moves to improve mission delivery capabilities, cultivate relationships, and raise money. Ultimately, such a strategy inspires and informs the executive team, empowers staff members and engages external stakeholders – board, volunteers, donors, etc. Our methodology concisely depicts an organization’s strategy, goals, and performance metrics on one-page, serving as an innovative way to communicate the vision and meet objectives.
ePhilanthropy and eMarketing Strategies - Whether your organization’s website is underperforming, or your staff is unsure of how to best leverage Facebook or Twitter, KCG can provide valuable insights and strategies that will help your organization to attract new donors, communicate more effectively with current donors, and strengthen organizational identity and awareness.
Board Retreats - The benefits of annually breaking routine to mobilize a board toward improved functioning cannot be overstated. However, just holding the retreat is not enough. KCG’s facilitation process will ensure that your board comes away with a compelling vision, a clear sense of purpose and direction. And, when appropriate, KCG will help outline and plan needed next steps and the associated actionable initiatives.
Interim Executive Leader - As an Interim Executive Leader, KCG will offer strong, effective, but temporary leadership to an organization after its Executive Director has departed. We will ensure that the mission of the organization is met and the operations remain stable until the next Executive Director is successfully hired. And, if the organization is in crisis, we will address the fears and anxieties of the staff, funders, and agency supporters, drive needed change in operational processes and systems and work closely with the board to facilitate a successful transition.
Technology Selection and Procurement - As technology has become more complex and the choices more diverse, organizations have found it increasingly difficult to select the most appropriate software/hardware solution. To ensure the "right" solution is identified, we first map existing business processes to understand the needed requirements. We then overlay this information onto the marketplace, identifying only the most viable solutions for our client’s needs, and purchase it for the most customer-centric terms.
Outsourced Fundraising and Marketing - What are you to do when your Director of Development takes a new position only weeks before your year-end major gifts appeal? KCG’s team has years of experience in raising money and managing campaigns and can immediately step in to ensure critical charitable contributions are secured. And, if needed, can even help recruit your new Director.
