Introduction
We are nonprofit fundraising nerds and believe nonprofits change the world. Despite many organizations’ best efforts, development teams change more frequently than leadership would like. Or your development team is overwhelmed and you don’t have the financial resources to add to it. That’s where we come in. In times of transition or need, we support teams, create strategies and budgets, and support you in terms of hiring development professionals, all while providing the key support your organization needs to fulfill its mission.

We are 100% powered by our passion in fundraising and our belief that fundraisers change the world. We can be a quick support or a long-term ally.
Our Area Of Focus
Counseling
As soon as you learn of a staffing change, we’re there—confidentially—to discuss your worries and next moves. We’ll provide guidance while you explore new candidates. We’ll provide insight and help you chart the course ahead. Have a nagging concern about a candidate you love? We can help. Your development team is overwhelmed and you don’t have the financial resources to add to it? We can work with you to create a sustaining strategy that won’t break the bank.
Execution
From your next direct mail campaign to a simple way of thanking donors, we’ll assist you in designing the next steps your organization takes. We thrive in the design of social media campaigns that enhance your goals while adding to your agency’s overall presence and branding. We’ll listen to your needs and concerns and present you with options that make sense and won’t impact your budget. We can also work with (or independently of) your marketing team to create an impact report to remind your donors why they give to you.
Development
When your top person is leaving, we step in. However, the goal is not to order your team around but to create a seamless transition—seamless for you, your board, your donors, and your stakeholders. Behind on an upcoming grant deadline?
We’re there.
Social media needs a boost? Got it. Direct mail or email blast? We can be part of the process to decide which is best for you. We can also simply be there for when you’re overwhelmed.

The Altrui Consultancy Process
-
Listening
Sometimes it can be helpful to just talk about a new idea, process or situation.
We will listen and be a helpful sounding board. That crazy idea you hesitate to share with anyone in leadership ... go ahead! We’re all ear confidentially. -
Strategizing
Strategy, simply put, is an action plan—what we want to do to get from here to there. We’ll listen, then talk about your personal strategy and potential strategies for your nonprofit’s fundraising, your career or your organization.
-
Creating a Game Plan
First things first. What needs to happen right now? Is it a new campaign, a new hire, or becoming leaner? An action you’ve been holding off on? After listening and strategizing, we’ll help you build a game plan and put it in action immediately.

Development
Nonprofit fundraising. We are nonprofit fundraising nerds and believe in the fundamental power of nonprofits. Development covers so many areas, and we’d be thrilled to hop into one or more of your areas to keep you going or take you to another level.
-
Marketing
The first thing we’ll do is figure out what marketing means to you and what your organization’s capacity is to support a marketing plan. A marketing strategy can support fundraising, and we can start there.
