Consulting

Donors Forum provides consulting services to help meet your individualized philanthropic goals.  Our seasoned staff has nearly 50 years of combined experience in the field of philanthropy.  We also have access to specialized consultants to bring in as needed.

Whether you need some extra helping hands, are seeking expertise your staff does not have, or you just need a fresh perspective -- let us help!  We can assist you with: 

  • Start-up activities, including selecting an appropriate philanthropic vehicle(s)
  • Developing mission, funding guidelines, governance and management processes
  • Conducting grantee research and screening of funding proposals;
  • Creating signature programs
  • Assessing grantee perceptions about your organization
  • Evaluating programs you funded
  • Preparing written materials, such as requests for proposals, brochures, and reports to the community
  • Conducting strategic planning
  • Training staff, trustees or board members

Consulting is not limited to our members.  Depending upon the level of service desired, our consulting is provided as a free benefit of membership, or on a fee-for-service basis, with a discount to members.
