- Your organisation’s mission and vision statement
- Prior strategic plans
- Goals
- Internal leadership and staffing
- Financials
- Systems and processes
- Annual fundraising
- External leadership and volunteers
- Previous campaigns
- Other audits, tailored to your organisation’s priorities
gift planning assessments
Planned giving has become an increasingly central focus for many nonprofit development teams. CCS Fundraising experts have deep expertise in this space, and access to a dedicated Gift Planning Team, to help guide our partners in enhancing their planned giving strategies. Our gift planning assessments discern the following:
- Donor demographics
- Giving histories, preferences, capacities, and interests
- Peer comparisons
- Trends in giving and related major gift officer activities
- Under-engaged or “new” prospects
- Staff and volunteer needs
- Partnership opportunities
