Strategizing Remotely During COVID-19

I AM HERE TO HELP - REMOTELY.

I have been working remotely for over two years. This is my business model, my normal. So I am well prepared to facilitate virtual strategy sessions with your team during this unprecedented moment. Below, read a bit about proven strategies for crisis management. We can work on these immediately.

If you need urgent advice on your advancement or institutional strategies during this chaotic time, I am offering 30-minute calls free of charge. Reach out, and we will get through this together.

Communicate
Relationships Matter: We will develop a clear strategy to communicate to your donors, and explain how their commitment is supporting the mission right now.

Collaborate and Merge 
This is the time to collaborate with your fellow organizations. Let's make a plan to come together with your arts community to pool resources and eliminate costly redundancies.

Audience Development
What should be a 365 day a year focus is imperative right now. We will create compelling storytelling and marketing strategies to retain your audience family as well as cultivate new audiences who could become your next generation of philanthropic leaders.   

Convert Canceled Event & Program Sales
Many organizations had planned for their annual fundraising events for this spring. We will make a plan on how to convert purchases into unrestricted gifts, and how to re-envision your programming goals and schedule.

Managing and Working Remotely

LOOKING AHEAD
Crisis Preparedness: Fundraising AHEAD of a Crisis

We are a reactive society. Institutionally, we put the urgent before the important. But in times of calm, it is imperative that we plan for a crisis such as this one. This moment proves that it is essential that you expand your base of support. We will work together to identify who are you not considering and how to reach out.
