Approach

Tomassi-Miller Strategies uses a relationship-based fundraising approach, proven to produce the best return on investment over time. Effective relationship-based fundraising considers individual donor motivations and aligns them with the mission and goals of the organization or project. When conducted thoughtfully, strategically, and systematically, each donor is cultivated, solicited, and stewarded in a manner that leads to consistent support over time. Whether yielding multi-year pledges or annual gifts, our proven approach maximizes the amount and frequency of giving among donors.

Tomassi-Miller Strategies also draws from the expertise of a network of independent consultants to tailor services based on each client’s unique needs. Our partner consultants specialize in various areas of nonprofit fundraising, including grant writing, prospect research, and case development.
