Why initial capital is key to kick-starting your Non-profit?


One the biggest challenges that a social entrepreneur faces is how to raise enough funds to make your vision a reality.  Your challenges include your fear of asking, how to ask, whom to ask, and, probably most importantly, what do you do while you go through the formation of your Non-profit (i.e., how do you  make a living in the meantime).

 
Where do you start?

 

Sandmark offers the On>Course program for social entrepreneurs.  We provide coaching and consulting services to get you started and prepare you for your initial raise, and take you through a program to assist you with whom to target, your messaging plan, training on how to ask as Phase I of the program.  But it doesn’t stop there.  Once you are successful in obtaining your initial start-up funding, Sandmark will assist you in putting a strategy together to implement a sustaining and ongoing fundraising program so your Non-profit can grow and your mission ultimately realized.  Phase II includes building your operational structure, recruiting, grant strategies, eFundraising and marketing initiatives, major gift and planned giving (if appropriate) programs -- all conforming to IRS guidelines for all types of Non-profits.



Why eFundraising is key in today’s economy climate?


With the recent economic crisis facing the American Economy, it is expected the Philanthropy, which has been at all time levels over the past several years, will suffer immensely.  Therefore, "Traditional Fundraising" may not be the best approach to start your sustainable Development program.  With the much publicized success in President-Elect Barack Obama’s grass roots fundraising efforts with the use of viral marketing on the Internet, an aggressive eFundraising program is a key first-step in putting a sustainable strategy together.  Sandmark is an expert and is uniquely qualified in this area, having vast experience of leading-edge eFundraising solutions and strategies.


 

How do you get started?


Engaging Sandmark starts with a simple interview, through a phone call or meeting.  The initial session will be a learning experience for both.  The primary focus of the initial consultation is to fully understand your mission and purpose, goals and what you have done thus far.  At the same time, you will learn more about us and our methodology.  There is no fee associated with the initial one-hour discussion.



How much does On>Track cost?


Fee structures vary from client-to-client, based on your specific needs, including deferred payment programs.  A proposal and engagement letter will outline the fee structure and terms, along with the services that will be performed.
