DVA’s Strategic Fundraising Review is specifically designed for Boards and CEOs of not-for-profit organisations seeking an objective analysis of the performance of their development, fundraising, Marketing and PR strategies.

DVA’s review process provides an internal health check based on a review of organisational outcomes, comparisons with external benchmarks and interviews with key stakeholders.

Trends and Challenges
Information on fundraising/PR benchmarks and best-of-sector practices is increasingly difficult to access due to the exponential growth in the number of non-profit organisations and ad-hoc reporting systems. As a result,a large proportion of non-profit organisations lack the ability to measure and improve their fundraising and PR performance.

Client testimonial
The Board and I required analysis of the soundness of our strategy, how we compared with other organisations, how our consistuency viewed us and our staffing structure. The questions to be addressed were: Could we improve the return of our existing programs, and what would be the new strategies that would deliver results.

DVA thoroughly evaluated our current performance and made practical recommendations for the future. DVA provided new Key Performance Indicators, and are currently supporting our existing team to meet these. Our Board and Executive have a new level of confidence that we are maximising the returns of our fundraising practices, and that our staff are receiving the support they need.
