Everything You Need to Fundraise Smarter

(Not Harder)

Fundraising shouldn’t feel like guesswork or like you are quietly drowning.

At BGC, we offer a step-by-step service path to get your systems running smoothly, your strategy dialed in, and your team aligned around what really moves the needle.

Whether you're building your fundraising from scratch, leveling up your systems, or preparing for a major campaign; we’ve got you.

The Deep dive

A 15-week strategy sprint and fundraising health check

Fundraising doesn’t have to feel like a scramble. The Deep Dive is our signature engagement for organizations ready to gain clarity and build internal fundraising capacity. Over 15 weeks, we’ll audit your development strategy, assess donor data, uncover missed opportunities, and co-create a custom roadmap built for your real world resources. You’ll walk away with a clear vision, prioritized next steps, and tools to move forward with confidence.

Need a zoomed-out view of your entire organization? Pair this with 360 View, our strategic planning engagement designed to align your fundraising vision with broader organizational goals.

Step 1: Groundwork

This is for you if:

You don’t have a fundraising plan (or aren’t using the one you have)
You’ve been fundraising for a while but feel stuck or unsure what’s working
You want to build internal capacity and get your team on the same page
You need clarity before launching something big

This is not for you if:

You already have a robust, high-functioning fundraising system in place
You’re in the middle of a major campaign
You’re brand new to fundraising or don’t have donor data to build from
You’re looking for long-term, hands-on fundraising execution (like grant writing or donor outreach)

The 360º View

A strategic planning sprint for organizational clarity

When your mission is clear but the path forward feels messy, it’s time for a 360 View. We’ll work closely with your leadership team to define (or refine) your organization’s strategic priorities. Through a mix of interviews, data analysis, team session(s), and stakeholder alignment, we’ll co-create a living strategic plan grounded in your mission, capacity, and community impact.

This is for you if:

You’re approaching a new chapter (growth, leadership transition, capital campaign, etc.)
You feel pulled in too many directions and need to prioritize
Your staff and board need a shared roadmap to reduce overwhelm and align efforts
You want to build a plan that’s realistic, measurable, and actually used

Deliverables may include:

Mission and vision refinement
Organizational SWOT with recommended priorities
3-year strategic goals + aligned initiatives
Tactical action plan for year one
Success metrics and reporting structure
Board or staff presentation deck

This is not for you if:

You already have a current strategic plan with aligned KPIs and buy-in
You’re only looking for program evaluation or fundraising strategy (start with The Deep Dive)
You don’t have the bandwidth to engage in a collaborative planning process

Step 2: Execution

The Grant Desk

Ongoing grants management and strategy

Grants are important but they don’t have to eat up all your time.

The Grant Desk is our monthly retainer service designed to take grant work off your plate while keeping your funder relationships moving forward. From research and writing to deadline tracking and submission, we manage the backend so you can focus on leading your programs and stewarding your donors.

Clear, consistent, and grant-ready… every month.

This is for you if:

You have strong programs and past grant experience
You need help juggling applications, reports, and research
You’re looking for a trusted partner to manage the full grants process

This is not for you if:

You’ve never submitted a grant before
You’re hoping someone will “just find you money”
You can’t dedicate time for reviews, documentation, or collaboration

The Compass

Custom strategy and support for fundraising

When the stakes are high, you need a steady hand.

The Compass helps you lead your fundraising with clarity and confidence. Whether you’re running the day-to-day or launching a special initiative, we’ll guide you through strategy, storytelling, timelines, and team coordination to ensure your fundraising doesn’t just hit the goal but strengthens your community in the process. We help you build the smart habits and processes to do the most with your resources.

Big goals need a clear plan and a trusted guide.

This is for you if:

You’re needing support with the day-to-day of fundraising
You want help with strategy, messaging, and donor engagement
You need support aligning board, staff, and volunteers

This is not for you if:

You’re still debating your organization’s priorities
Your internal team is resistant to change
You expect someone else to “do all the fundraising” for you

Step 3: Empowerment

The Four Roles Framework

Find your fit in the fundraising cycle.

Training and alignment for boards, staff, and fundraising champions

When everyone’s on the same page, the ask gets easier.

The Four Roles Framework is our custom training experience designed to help your people show up with confidence. Whether you’re prepping for a campaign or just tired of misaligned messaging, we’ll equip your staff, board, or volunteers to speak clearly and consistently about your mission and why it matters now.

Fundraising is a team sport. Let’s get them game ready.

This is for you if:

Your board or staff are intimidated by fundraising
You want your team aligned and confident about your message
You’re launching a new fundraising initiative

This is not for you if:

You want 1:1 coaching instead of group alignment
Your team isn’t open to participating or practicing
You’re expecting a quick fix without ongoing follow-through

The Narrative Lab™

A grant writing workshop for nonprofit professionals

Grants are won with clarity, not cleverness.

The Narrative Lab™ is a small-group, guided workshop where nonprofit professionals learn how to write compelling, funder-friendly narratives. We help you shape your story, strengthen your case, and leave with a polished draft you can actually use... plus the confidence to reuse it across future applications.

Clearer stories = stronger funding.

This is not for you if:

You’re looking for someone to find grants for you
You’re not ready to revise or refine your story
Your organization is brand new and you’re still figuring out how you’re working in the community

This is for you if:
