Virtually every aspect of a successful fund development program is covered. Our comprehensive knowledge and ability to see the big picture ensures that your project is thoughtfully integrated into your overall strategy for consistency and long-term success.
Each nonprofit organization has its own strengths, challenges and circumstances.

Arnold Olson Associates will then help you develop and implement the systems and skills to meet your goals today as well as take you to the next step.
A fund development consultant is a professional who helps nonprofit organizations, hospitals, schools, foundations, and charities raise more money and build stronger fundraising programs.
Their role goes beyond simply asking for donations. They help organizations create strategies, campaigns, and systems that increase giving over time.
Fund development focuses on building relationships and securing philanthropic support, while marketing focuses on promoting an organization’s brand, programs, and services. Marketing creates awareness and tells the organization’s story, while fund development turns that interest and goodwill into donor engagement and financial support.
Organizations should consider hiring a fund development professional when they are ready to move beyond occasional fundraising efforts and build a sustainable culture of philanthropy. This is often the right time when donation goals are increasing, major gifts and planned giving opportunities are emerging, donor relationships need more attention, or a capital campaign is being considered.
Arnold Olson & Associates works with organizations of all sizes, from emerging nonprofits and startup foundations to well-established institutions with mature fundraising programs. Whether an organization is building its first development program or advancing a major campaign, we tailor our approach to meet their unique mission, goals, and stage of growth
