We are the trusted name in fundraising – bringing our knowledge, experience, skills, innovation and common sense to help our clients achieve transformational fundraising goals.

Our culture and values

We are proud of our history and track record of success. We regularly call upon our experience and lessons learned from hundreds of fundraising campaigns. We understand that we are only as good as the work we do today and take nothing for granted. We also believe that our best performances are still ahead of us.

We are proud of our history and successes but, in an ever-changing world, we understand that the passion and professionalism of our team and ultimately their performance is what really matters.

We employ the best fundraising practitioners and invest in their training, accreditation and ongoing professional development. We offer them the opportunity to purchase shares in our firm.

We are founding members of the Association of Fundraising Consultants (AFC) and are advocates of the Washington-based Certified Fundraising Executive (CFRE).
