Fundraising Strategy That Gets Results.
Direct Mail, Digital, and Beyond
Let’s meet your ministry’s fundraising goals — together. Get a partner with a 35+-year track record of understanding and inspiring the right people to join and continue funding your cause. Optimized messaging that clearly demonstrates your impact is key. So step into the future confidently with a fundraising strategy for cross-channel communications designed to work in perfect harmony.
No Fundraising Strategy, No Money.
We know not everyone is wired to ask for money. But not asking can lead to problems … and your cause is too important not to fund! We’ll develop a fundraising strategy that fits your organization and makes sense for your donor file — so that people catch your vision, align with your mission, and want to support the good work you’re doing in this world.
Strategy vs. Planning
BBS & Associates Gives You Both.
Strategy advisor Roger Martin says, “Strategy is the act of making an integrated set of choices, which positions the organization to win … planning is the act of laying out projects with timelines, deliverables, budgets, and responsibilities.”
At BBS, we’ll help you develop a clear fundraising strategy and integrate that strategy into a cohesive and practical plan — allowing you to do more for God’s Kingdom.

What Does a Good Fundraising Strategy Look Like?
Lead Your Nonprofit With Confidence
In our 35+ years of fundraising experience, here are some of the key elements we’ve identified of a good strategy:
Donor Acquisition
Successfully and consistently bringing in new donors who catch your vision — this process is crucial to your ministry’s long-term success.
Cultivating Existing Relationships
Retain and upgrade your current donors so they get the most out of their relationship with your ministry … and give at their fullest potential!
Monthly Sustainer Programs
Develop a monthly sustainer program that works – where your donors can see and feel their lasting impact, and you’re empowered to make more impact for the Kingdom with confidence. We’ll help you keep up with the ever-changing landscape and grow your recurring giving.
Lapsed Donor Reactivation
The cost of reactivating a lapsed donor is often far lower than bringing on a new one to fill the void. We’ll help you develop strategies and campaigns to turn your lapsed donors into some of your most faithful supporters.
Maximize Mid & Major Donors
Pre-set playbooks and vanilla programs just won’t cut it when it comes to your mid and major donor strategy. Get proven strategies for identifying opportunities, expanding your major donor efforts, maximizing the middle, and building relationships that last.
Texting Programs
With people on their phones 24/7, texting has become an increasingly powerful (and surprisingly personal) way to connect with donors. In fact, text messages have a higher open rate than any other channel! We’ll help you create successful texting campaigns to enhance relationships.
Telephone Campaigns
A true omni-channel strategy isn’t complete without thoughtful consideration for telemarketing. In the right hands, it can build meaningful relationships with donors. We’ll help you connect with and thank your donors in a personal way that grows relationships.
Impact Reporting
Donors love to know what their dollars are doing, who they’re helping, and the lives they’re changing. And they won’t know unless you tell them! Let us help you share your good news across multiple channels to foster trust and confidence in your ministry.
Digital Fundraising
We’ll leverage technology to help you effectively communicate with current and potential donors where they’re at: visiting your website, scanning your emails, searching for you online, scrolling social media feeds, downloading your app, and elsewhere.
Direct Mail Fundraising
Mail still produces the majority of charitable income. We’ll help you get this fundraising artform down to a science — from strategy to delivery to versions for targeted audiences and ages and everything in between.
Television and Radio Spots
Broadcast media offers a high-impact platform to take your ministry’s story to the masses, and we’ll help you do so with gusto — reinforcing donor relationships and reaching new prospects.
Capital and Vision Campaigns
Don’t just run a capital campaign, grow your ministry and mission. Get a partner with over 30 years of expertise in nonprofit CEO and COO leadership, church leadership, school leadership, ministry board leadership, and more.
