Unlike many competitors, we view ourselves as a full-time extension of your staff and volunteers. While others may offer part-time remote counsel who attempt to train their clients to do the work, we provide full-time onsite or virtual counsel by embedding ourselves within your organization and community. This hands-on approach is critical in each of the three phases of your fund-raising effort. 

We have always believed that the approach to meet our clients’ needs is not the same for all communities and organizations.  We remain flexible in meeting our clients' needs and have developed several hybrid approaches in these unusual times.

 
 

Not sure which direction you should go?

Directional Assessment will take you where you need to be.

Directional Assessment

Opportunity Funding's unique alternative Directional Assessment offers organizations a “safety net” to answer key questions about the path the organization has followed and in what direction key stakeholders feel is necessary for success. The Directional Assessment is cost and time effective and generally targets input from 15-20 key stakeholders.

Many times, communities, organizations and leaders know that they must move forward but really do not understand what that means or where they should focus. For this reason, our Directional Assessment was developed.

Feasibility Study

A candid and objective analysis is critical when developing a shared vision.

The leadership of Opportunity Funding has a depth of experience in public and private sector organizational management. In the hectic pace of putting together and running an organization, it can be hard for leaders to develop a strong shared mission and vision of the organization (or leaders sometimes take their eye off its mission and vision). This approach lends itself to decreased support by those they serve as well as those that fund the organization. In many cases, its leadership is not aware that a "storm is brewing" until it is too late. 

In order to be proactive instead of reactive, it is critical to involve your stakeholders and have a very candid Feasibility Study assessment of your organization and what are the hurdles impeding its positive evolution. As added value to our clients, Opportunity Funding will deliver an organization readiness assessment that identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats as perceived by those they serve as well as those that fund the organization.  

Opportunity Funding conducts 50 to 75 confidential one-on-one Feasibility Study interviews that answer key questions about the plan, the organization, who should lead the campaign and ultimately, potential financial levels of support.

At the conclusion of the Feasibility Study, we deliver a detailed action plan that can be used as your roadmap to success.

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN MANAGEMENT

Opportunity Funding provides full-service fundraising counsel that offers you a complete solution to your pressing funding needs through either our Turnkey Campaign Management or Periodic Counsel Campaign Management Process.

TURNKEY CAMPAIGN MANAGEMENT

Our Turnkey Capital Campaign Process dedicates full-time resources onsite (or resident counsel) that manages all phases of a successful capital campaign. Capital Campaign Management includes:

  • the completion of a detailed strategic plan

  • the development of performance metrics

  • the development of a custom, detailed economic impact analysis to demonstrate "return on investment" to your stakeholders

  • the development of a branding plan and related marketing and fundraising materials

  • a robust prospect and valuation development process including a focus on recruiting new investors

  • a structured, systematic presentation process to prospects where we make the ask and do the follow-up to recruit financial stakeholders to support your organization

  • the design and development of an investor relations program to keep your stakeholders informed, bought in and supportive of your efforts over the long haul 

This approach allows the organization to secure those increased resources and continue to focus on their day-to-day core function.

PERIODIC COUNSEL CAMPAIGN MANAGEMENT

Opportunity Funding's Periodic Counsel Managed Campaign provides an alternative to an all-inclusive Turnkey Campaign. We fully understand that one size does not fit all. By offering Periodic Counsel, we’ll work with you to put the process and framework into place so that your goal can be achieved without full-time support.

Opportunity Funding is flexible and just a step away to assist you should you need more extensive intervention.
