Ignite Philanthropy serves all aspects of the philanthropic and non-profit sector—from individuals, companies and foundations seeking to organize and improve their philanthropic giving to non-profits looking for an experienced fundraising or strategy partner to raise capital to accomplish their mission. Though we typically combine our unique set of services into a custom solution for our clients, we have a set of core services organized into three categories.
Non-Profit Services
Fundraising Strategy
and Planning
Ignite Philanthropy combines a proprietary planning methodology with deep fundraising and non-profit sector experience to guide organizations through a comprehensive planning and stakeholder engagement process. Our team of strategists, data specialists and fundraisers have experience designing strategies for projects ranging from $200+ million capital campaigns to grass roots fundraisers and annual funds.
Fundraising Campaign
Management
Ignite Philanthropy believes that successful fundraising campaigns must have a solid plan, top notch leadership and a dedicated fundraising team to execute day-to-day operations. Our custom suite of campaign management services is led and managed by full-time employees of Ignite Philanthropy (not outsourced consultants) who have deep local donor and community knowledge. We serve as the outsourced leadership team, working with volunteer and organization executives to fulfill their vision and goals for the campaign.
Strategic
Consulting
Ignite Philanthropy combines its unique knowledge of the non-profit sector with business acumen and non-profit management experience to assess, research and design strategies for non-profit organizations and philanthropists. We immerse ourselves in our client’s work and collaborate with key stakeholders to understand their current and future needs and avenues for success.
