Development audits analyze fundraising performance to inform future resource development strategies. Comprehensive development plans align with an audit to bring these strategies into action. Working in collaboration with board members, leadership and key stakeholders your organization ensures mission-centered alignment and mission-focused impact.
A development audit is an important tool - especially in times of change and uncertainty. Periodic audits inform development plans, and when used effectively, help prioritize resources and activities. Thinking of adding or changing programs? Is there a leadership change? Are you looking at ways to cut spending? Launching a campaign? A development audit provides insights into giving trends and can identify opportunities for a new way forward that supports mission-centered growth.
Development plans offer a structured roadmap that aligns with your organization's vision for the future. Is your development plan a cut and paste from last year, with a modest increase attached to show potential growth? Is it tied to organizational strategies? Development plans based on an audit, and/or sound metrics will help prioritize individual giving, special events, special purpose campaigns, and volunteer engagement, ensuring efforts are right sized to meet the moment.
