Our Approach
DVA Navion staff are committed to fundraising as an urgent and
compelling activity. Our approach for all clients, big and small, ensures
that every effort is made to work with you to achieve your goals. Our
staff are passionate about their work because, at the end of the day,
they know they are making a difference.
Our firm is a leader in church-related campaigns. Our staff members have
extensive church experience and we are particularly sensitive to the concerns
of the clergy and lay people regarding fundraising in the church. We know
the importance of proper language and approach.
DVA Navion knows that raising money is most effective when it is
integrated into the overall mission, teaching and direction of the parish
or the congregation. We are aware of the non-financial goals as well as
the financial goals, and remain sensitive to these equally important objectives
in any financial program. Executives at DVA Navion have achieved
extraordinary results in the past and this experience is applied to each
new program.
Our Total Development Plan is a comprehensive approach to meeting
a host of funding needs over a longer period of time.

We have directed 80 Diocesan and congregational campaigns or studies.
Ninety-five percent of our campaigns have reached or exceeded our
goal and every one of them have been great experiences with a variety
of benefits. |

Increased
Parish Income Programs
We have a program to increase parish income by 25-35% in one year.
It has been used successfully in over 100 parishes. This is an eight
week program with a strong educational dimension and a minimum of
organization. |

Consultative
Services
DVA Navion provides ongoing fundraising services on an "as
needed" basis. We have the experience to write and implement
programs for special needs, circumstances and opportunities. |
 |
Planned
Giving
Many faithful church people would like to continue their support
of the work of the Church after their life on earth is over. DVA
Navion is equipped to provide services in planned giving, with
particular emphasis on wills and bequests. |
 |
Year-Round
Stewardship Plans
Our firm has developed a year-round program of education, information,
volunteer enlistment, annual financial programs, and planned giving.
This is timed to fit the seasons of comprehensive strategy and plan
for financial stewardship, education, and special needs fund development. |
 |
Information
Management
At DVA Navion, we can assist in developing systems to manage
information on parishioner skills, volunteer opportunities and financial
resources in a way that not only makes the information available to
those who need it, but also maintains confidentiality. |
Staffing
We work as a team in partnership with parish leaders, thereby providing
a broad spectrum of experience and commitment to success in both the financial
and non-financial elements of the financial program.
Our clients have the opportunity to meet and approve the staff who are
available to work with them and to assure they are both "fit"
and qualified.
Staff depth is just one of the things that DVA Navion can offer
to parishes.
Costs
DVA Navion promotes cost effective programs. Professional
fees are based on a "fee for service" basis and not as a percentage
of money raised. All fees and other related costs are stated and confirmed
before any contract is signed.
