Securing Gifts

Helping you Get Gifts

Over 80 percent of private philanthropy derives from individuals.

The Golden Group brings over 30 years experience in fundraising to your organization’s situation. Whether you are with a young organization just starting out, or a mature organization eager to build endowment, we can help. Over the years, we have come to understand strategies that work and approaches that are fruitful. People give to people. In these challenging economic times, the generosity of people is heartening. We can coach you to raise more funds through better management of your relationships with donors. We start with respect, and walk with you from there.

Support: Prospect Research

We all know that success in fundraising is about the right person asking at the right time in the right way. Although you may think you know your donors or prospective donors, sometimes you’re uncertain about how best to approach a donor, what to emphasize, and how much to ask for. We work with Catherine Smythe Zajc, KnowPro Consulting, who brings 20 years of research skills and wealth research to bear on prospect research. We can work with Ms. Smythe Zajc to screen and prioritize prospective donors, or to develop donor profiles which provide insights that will help you craft your approach.
