A strong annual solicitation program engages your organization’s constituents in providing a critical base for your nonprofit. A successful, multi-channel approach results in solid returns on your investments through continuous resource growth, high donor renewal rates and the development of a strong major gift pipeline. BL&A works with you to complete a thorough review of your program including plans and appeals, past and ongoing results, staff training and development, and year-over-year progress against goals.
BL&A will help you build upon your programs' strengths while identifying areas that can be made into points of pride with the introduction of industry best practices.
