Not achieving your full fundraising potential? It’s time for a development audit!📃
No need to call in the accountants though, this is all about maxing out the undeveloped capabilities and capacities within your organization! A development audit looks at your data, systems, structures, and staffing and provides a clear view of your organization’s fundraising potential.
Today Cara chats to Lee Ernst, a Senior Consultant at JGA, a philanthropic and strategic consulting firm helping nonprofits with fundraising, planning, and leadership. Lee knows how to connect with major higher education and social services donors. With her extensive experience and innovative mindset, Lee helps JGA clients achieve their fundraising goals and create positive change in the world, and today she shares her expertise with us.
A thorough development audit will give you clarity on your organization’s strengths and areas for improvement. Allowing you to work with your board and staff to develop a realistic and effective action plan.
To assist you Lee has provided an excellent tip sheet to get you started, you can find it here: Development Audit: Unlock Your Potential with an External Review
