Challenges for Nonprofits - Importance of Hiring a Fundraising Consultant 

 

Competition

​

Often, the biggest challenge for nonprofits is the sheer amount of competition vying for the attention of donors. Without a fundraising strategy, it’s hard to stand out in the crowd. Even if you have social media profiles, you aren’t guaranteed exposure in the modern world. 

​

Professional fundraisers for nonprofits have the experience and knowledge to create a tailored training program for your team. At Team Kat & Mouse, we don’t believe in one-time, one-size-fits-all training packages because the information isn’t personalized to those who need it. We customize training courses to meet the needs, preferences, and goals of your organization. 

 

Donor Retention

 

The success of any nonprofit organization depends on its ability to turn one-time donors into long-term allies. If you’re relying on one-time donors to survive, it’s time to work with professionals to take the next step and generate long-term relationships with those who support your cause. 
 

Team Kat & Mouse offers a range of services, including nonprofit leadership training, sales training, grant research and writing, creative services, and marketing consultants. With combined experience of over 50 years, we know the industry, and we’re passionate about helping nonprofits reach their markets. 
​

Talent Retention

​

Another common challenge for nonprofits is talent retention - for example, you may struggle to either hire the best talent or keep them. By hiring a fundraising professional, you introduce the training programs and incentives to keep your team happy. They feel valued, and they enjoy the personal growth that comes with your organization. 

​

You’re not alone this year - professional fundraising organizations can help engage all stakeholders. Rather than off-the-shelf training that has no relevance to your mission, allow us to tailor our approach to help your team thrive. In addition to initial discovery and design, we also provide ongoing support, coaching, and communication.
