Major Gift Programs

A strong major gifts program is the cornerstone of a sustainable and robust fundraising program. If done well, it will fuel your mission in powerful ways. At Cornerstone Consulting, we’ll help you develop key strategies for building an effective major gifts program that gets results

Donor Engagement Strategies

Donors who are passionate and well informed about your mission are valuable ambassadors in the community. We work with you to create inspiring donor engagement strategies that showcase your mission-in-action and build trust with donors.

Campaign Feasibility Studies

A successful campaign is transformational for organizations and the communities they serve. Are you thinking of launching a major campaign? We know you have big decisions ahead of you, and we’re here to help you navigate each step with skill and confidence. We work closely with each client to provide full service campaign feasibility studies, campaign readiness, and ongoing campaign counsel.

Campaign Planning & Execution

As the saying goes, “A goal without a plan is just a wish.” If you’re launching a major campaign, you need a comprehensive plan that will serve as your roadmap for success. Cornerstone Consulting specializes in developing clear, actionable, and integrated campaign plans. We work in close partnership with each client to support you as you implement and execute your campaign.

Stewardship Programs

Outstanding stewardship is the key to donor retention. It involves thanking, recognizing, honoring, and most importantly, showing impact. At Cornerstone Consulting, we’ll help you develop an integrated stewardship plan to increase donor retention, inspire gift upgrades, and strengthen your reputation in the community.

Board & Staff Training

Board members are one of the most valuable resources for any non-profit. With inspired training and artful coaching they can be highly effective as ambassadors, askers, and stewards.

I have exciting news to share! After 15 amazing years of consulting with over a hundred organizations on major gift strategy and campaigns, I have decided to sunset Cornerstone Consulting and join Western Washington University! I am now Senior Director of Development at WWU and will be inspiring donors to give generously to support scholarships, capital projects and more. I am truly honored to join Western's team of talented fundraisers.

It is also bittersweet for me to end my consulting practice which has been deeply rewarding. It’s been a privilege to work alongside so many mission-driven leaders, board members, donors, and campaign volunteers who serve our community in transformational ways. I look forward to connecting with many of you soon in my new role with WWU!

With gratitude,

Jennifer
