Philosophy:

“It is a privilege to facilitate and enhance the interests of philanthropists and the organizations they support. Knowing that development professionals can help an individual enjoy the satisfaction of making a difference for others is very rewarding.
 

Effective fundraising practices are not formula based. They are the combination of developing strong relationships between people and your organization. These relationships are nurtured by creative and meaningful communication. The magic is in the passion with which donors enable your organization to address its mission.

Board and Volunteer work should be gratifying and enjoyable. There is simply no reason to participate if it is not! You can help your board members share the joy of working together to effectively serve your constituency.”
 

Ethical Standards:

The Association of Fundraising Professionals has developed, reviewed and refined the Code of Ethical Principles and Standards of Professional Practice. This code, in addition to the Donor’s Bill of Rights offers the guiding principles behind all fundraising practice.

The Performance Expectations developed by the Association of Philanthropic Counsel clearly state what a client may expect from any member of this association. Experience, Integrity, Solutions are the hallmark of America’s trusted counsel.
