Reaching Your Donors
We contact your donors to survey their philanthropic interests and goals. This frees your fundraisers to focus on their most important work: closing gifts.
We believe every donor wants to give more.
Steenhuysen Associates provides nonprofit and charitable organizations with specialized consulting, training, and donor contact strategies and programs to increase planned, major, and principle gifts.
Training Your Fundraisers
Our customized training programs teach fundraisers how to reject simple transactions and nurture long-term relationships; how to stop telling the organization’s story and start listening to the donor’s desires; and how to stop asking for cash and start asking for complex assets. Our training and coaching provides multiple opportunities for fundraisers to practice these conversations and build new behaviors that elevate the fundraising conversation to the next level.
