Planning
Ascend creates a “Plan A” by developing strategies for the future. Whether you are a new nonprofit or an industry leader these are a few of the plans we create:
- Strategic Plans
- Development Plans
- Donor Engagement & Outreach Materials
- Targeted Campaigns (i.e. End-of-Year Giving, Capital Campaigns, etc.)
- and more
In today’s fast-paced and ever-changing world, organizations need a clear direction and a roadmap to success. Ascend specializes in helping leaders develop strategies for the future. Whether you’re a new organization just starting out or an industry leader, our expertise can guide you every step of the way.
Strategic Plans provide you with a clear vision and mission. They help you define your goals and objectives, ensuring that everyone in your organization is working towards a shared purpose. With Ascend’s assistance, we’ll help you articulate your aspirations and chart the course to achieve them.
Additionally, a well-crafted Development Plan is crucial for sustainable growth. It outlines the steps you need to take to secure the resources and support necessary to bring your vision to life. Ascend understands the intricacies of fundraising and donor engagement, and we’ll collaborate with you to create a plan tailored to your organization’s unique needs.
Ascend goes the extra mile to provide you with additional tools for success. We specialize in creating compelling donor engagement and outreach materials that resonate with your target audience. From eye-catching campaigns to impactful messaging, we’ll help you capture hearts and inspire action.
For the past few years, we have been working with Ascend Consulting to develop our year-end fundraising plan. In addition to developing a structured, clear plan, Ascend strived to develop a deep and impactful message that highlights the essential elements of our work at Project Suma. For example, we used to tell stories of the women and children we serve, but this year for the first time and as part of our end-of-year letter they helped us write the story of an entire family that demonstrated the impact of our breaking-cycles model while being backed by study data. We eagerly look forward to working with them next year on our first Spring Virtual Fundraising Campaign!
