Annual Fundraising and Campaigns

The success of your organization is closely tied to your ability to build strong relationships with donors and attract ongoing contributions. We evaluate, plan and implement fundraising strategies that engage your constituencies and raise money for current operations. MMS Advancement Associates LLC has a high level of experience designing and overseeing annual campaigns in a variety of nonprofit settings including education, health and human services, senior living, arts and culture, and the environment.

Unlike many of our competitors, our fundraising consultants have years of experience working for nonprofit organizations raising annual contributions and major gifts. Our team’s varied experience allows us to meet your organization’s unique needs, such as volunteer and staff training, proposal writing and funding research.

"Not only did the Our Future Is Now Campaign help fill a fundraising gap at a critical juncture in the history of the Seminary, it laid the foundation for an even more successful year — in fact one of the most successful on record!"
