ABOUT US

We provide tailored fundraising and development consulting services designed to empower organizations and creatives.

The HTD Process

Discovery

We begin by evaluating your current efforts—what’s working, what’s not, and where you want to go. This involves a thorough SWOT analysis, stakeholder interviews, and a review of your materials.

Case For Support

We then build a strong case for support, creating curated resources and messaging that will resonate with your audience and drive action.

Sustainable Strategy

Finally, we develop a long-term strategy that not only meets your immediate needs but sets you up for continued success. We provide prospect lists, outline realistic goals, and help you plan for the future.
