Strategic Planning & Development Projects
Even the best ideas need clear strategy to succeed.
From rebalancing major gift portfolios to designing annual giving approaches, we tighten goals, bring staff and board members into lockstep, and move priorities from page to practice.
Our Impact
Last year, CCS advised 142 clients on planning and development projects.
Our approach
We work with you to shape annual giving programs that deepen donor loyalty and sustain organizational growth. We develop cases for support that elevate your mission and inspire confidence. We strengthen major gift pipelines that give your bold plans the resources they need to move forward. Along the way, we align staff and boards around a shared vision of success and push the work forward so goals go from concept to accomplishment.
National Museum of Bermuda
“Thanks to CCS’s expertise, fundraising strategy, and guidance we did not pause our fundraising efforts. Instead, we increased communications to connect with our community, found clarity in our mandate and met and exceeded our multi-million-dollar campaign goal. It was a pleasure to partner with the CCS team. They have become good friends of the museum and have given us the fundraising tools and foundation to ensure institutional stability and our future.”
