Joyaux Associates helps reduce your stress by getting your organization ready for fund development. We approach your organization as one holistic system, using our expertise in organizational development to help you raise money. We have been especially successful working with organizations that have not yet reached their fundraising potential.
How does Joyaux Associates approach fund development?
First, we emphasize the four fundamental relationships which are critical to effective and productive fund development. These are:
- your internal operating and governance relationships;
- your relationship with the community;
- your relationship with your constituents; and,
- your ability to enable your volunteers.
All aspects of managing the not-for-profit depend upon developing a strong constituency, whether inside or outside your organization. A concerned and dedicated constituency provides leaders, advocates, new donors, increased gifts, and fundraising volunteers.
Second, we customize our assistance to your organization. Consulting must be personalized to your resources, needs, and culture. Fund development must reflect your values and consider the current philanthropic environment. While there are common basic principles, counsel should not force your organization into a preconceived format.
Third, we make sure that basic operations are solid before fund development begins. Effective fund development depends upon the rest of your institution's operations. Fundraising efforts are rarely effective without basic operations being in place: a mission and products desired by the community; values shared by everyone; clear direction and measurable goals; an understanding of the needs and motivations of constituents; a communications strategy that speaks so that your constituents will understand; and, the leadership and management systems necessary to support fundraising activities.
Productive fund development is carefully integrated into overall operations. The well-designed fund development program complements the rest of your organization's activities.
