When Blended Measures came to us in the third quarter of 2019, I was so worried that we had lost too much time to achieve our fundraising goal for the year. Our Blended Measures lead consultant sprang into action immediately by planning our annual fundraising event including creating an updated sponsorship package; creating a grant pipeline and assisting with proposal writing; and introducing us to philanthropic leaders in decision making positions. We ended that year with an overall surplus in our giving. When the pandemic hit in 2020, our consultant jumped into action again. She worked with me to help me understand how to pivot our services to be solutions-focused and an invaluable resource to our clients who had been impacted financially, mentally, and medically, by COVID-19. Thanks to her helpful, strategic thinking, we ended our 2020 year with a surplus. She showed up for calls, team meetings and board meetings. She is very professional and extremely engaging and trustworthy. She engages with our Board of Directors to ensure they are on track with their fundraising activities and Blended Measures has even developed an amazing Development Plan that we can use to track our efforts throughout the 2021 year. Their tools like the grant pipeline, monthly development report, and events execution sheets have been so helpful. But mostly, their executive level knowledge and connections in community, have helped us to be successful in our fundraising efforts. I highly recommend Blended Measures as your fundraising and strategic solution.
