Annual Giving and Special Events
Annual Fundraising Support in Any Way You Need It
Every nonprofit needs funds to operate. Often operating funds are the most challenging dollars to raise year after year. Some programs find it harder to raise funds than others and funding for new challenges needs to be explained. To be successful each year, a multi-pronged approach to different constituencies will help you address ever increasing demands.
What We Offer
Most often, we suggest nonprofits usinge a combination of several fundraising tactics to raise money to meet your annual operation goals through segmented constituency approaches. These include:
In-person Solicitations
Personal Letters
Mailed Fundraising Appeals, and
Special Events like galas
Our Approach
We use a tested, adaptive process that’s refined for each campaign, combining our industry expertise with your organization’s unique strengths to drive results.
Each organization markets and funds itself differently over time. Mature nonprofits have developed significant annual giving programs that concentrate on soliciting funds from a wide range of donors in a variety of ways.
We also find a significant advantage to our constituency building approach in that it stratifies donor segments for future capital campaigns and planned giving strategies.
Our consultants can help with:
-
Help you create or refine your annual giving plan, often called a development plan, that details what tools and avenues you will use to raise money throughout the year.
-
Our team can either consult or “do the work” needed to help run your annual fundraising plan. Nonprofits hire SNS to support all annual giving activities as you need them.
-
Special Events: Our team often gets asked how we might run or support an organization’s special events like galas and golf tournaments. SNS staff can be hired to manage or support an event.
-
Defined responsibilities ensure everyone involved understands their role, strengthening team commitment.
Strawhecker Nonprofit Services can assist your organization in establishing annual fund goals and create the strategies needed to achieve them.

“For many of us we were a bit skeptical if our group could be successful substituting a live event with a virtual event and what we found out was that we now have another avenue to raise money for our cause thanks to the great support [SNS] provided. The proof is in our results as we doubled our virtual fund-raising goal.”
