Impact Services for Impact Results
Execute your charitable vision without distraction. Leave the gritty stuff to us.
Fundraising development
We specialize in helping small to midsize nonprofits by leveraging current best practices in nonprofit fundraising to help you raise more dollars and build an improved funding model. We do this by focusing on all giving channels to optimize before we explore. From building impactful monthly donor programs to growing your major donor footprint, we work to achieve strong results to help you realize a new level of sustainability. Our mission is to help your organization establish reliable and consistent revenue streams, enabling you to achieve greater impact for your mission and vision.
MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS
There’s project management and then there’s creative direction. We provide non-profit consulting and branding for new start-ups — from logos to letterhead, websites to marketing collateral. We operate a full-service branding, marketing, and communications department with expert graphic artists, web designers, videographers, and copywriters. We provide comprehensive communications plans for your individual organization and situation.
Foundation Grants
We provide end-to-end foundation grant services, ensuring every aspect of your grant process is expertly managed with proven results. Our services include thorough research to identify opportunities that align with your mission, analysis of needs, and evaluation of eligibility. We also specialize in crafting compelling letters of inquiry (LOIs), detailed grant applications, and professionally written proposals. From drafting to submission, we handle every step with precision and care, maximizing your chances for successful outcomes and award-winning results. Partner with us to secure the funding needed to drive your mission forward.
CAPITAL CAMPAIGNS
A capital campaign is a targeted fundraising effort designed to raise significant funds within a specified timeframe to finance major projects. These can include building expansions, renovations, endowment growth, or new program development. Unlike annual fundraising efforts, capital campaigns have a fixed goal and time frame. Capital campaigns are usually multi-year projects, often lasting 2-3 years or more. Contact us for a free 30-minute consultation on how we can help you envision and execute your capital campaign.
ORGANIZATION DEVELOPMENT
Your charitable work for others hinges on how effectively you run your own organization—it’s hard to help others when your house is a mess. We support your team by improving systems, structures, and skills, while adding innovations and adding temporary staff (including leadership roles), so that your team operates as just that—a team that functions happily as one.
GOVERNANCE AND STRATEGIC PLANNING
It’s all about you and your board. Without a strong, supportive, and professional board of directors, your own efforts for others will be impaired. We provide an array of governance services, including board-member vetting and recruitment, process improvements, and executive coaching for tough boards. Trust us, your board is your friend.
What you achieve tomorrow is dictated by what you do today. What’s your five-year plan? We help you become better in the moment through strategic planning that provides confidence in the future.
Ready to strengthen your mission with sustainable fundraising?
Two years ago, we retained GM&F Partners to assist our organization with fundraising and sustainability. Our finances have always been a major concern since we do not receive any government funding. GM&F has helped to grow our donor base and prepare for major expansion to help more women in need. I am pleased to recommend their services to any nonprofit who is seeking financial growth and greater impact.
“GM&F Partners is playing a crucial role helping Life Issues Institute get to the next level with fundraising. They are also great people to work with and very responsive to customizing materials for our specific mission. I’m happy to recommend them for your fundraising efforts.”
“George and his team are a delight to work with. Their enthusiasm and dedication are the intangibles that filter through to every level of our organization. The sophistication and impact of our fundraising efforts have improved and we are seeing the results. They are a valued partner.”
I wholeheartedly endorse the consulting work of GM&F Partners and George Glover, particularly. Thanks to George and his decades of experience, expertise, and insatiable desire to deliver the best, we are turning our finances around so we can continue to bring help and hope to struggling teens
“GM&F Partners was instrumental in seeing us through the early days of our development. Collaborating with us, they brought clarity and direction to our organization. Their knowledge, experience, and connections within the non-profit world were important pieces to helping us build a firm foundation for the future. Thank you, GM&F!”
“The GM&F Partners team brought about a quantum leap in our ability to reach our members and donors and, above all, get the message of LIFE out to our province. We were losing ground with aging donors and supporters, ineffective engagement methods, and poor internal and Board structure. All these good changes would not have been possible without GM&F’s help. We are most grateful and eminently satisfied with the great expertise provided.”
