Ruth's Commitment to Your Organization

Provide dedicated professional expertise and leadership during the crucial time between when a chief development officer leaves a non-profit and when a successor is found.

Leverage over 34 years of experience in successful fundraising to ensure your organization’s fundraising plan is brought to fruition so you can focus on achieving your mission. 

Develop a scope of work in collaboration with key stakeholders so that your organization’s unique needs will be addressed. 

Work together in a collaborative manner that is built on trust, confidentiality, and transparency.  

The Opportunity

When a fundraising professional leaves an organization, there is an unique opportunity for the organization to pause and evaluate its approach, strategy, and goals. Too often, instead of intentionally and carefully moving forward, leadership reacts to these transitions out of fear of losing revenue, relationships, or both. The resulting decisions can cause misalignment and setbacks. Raising the Resources brings the expertise, experience, and leadership to position your organization for the future.
