As a natural planning and organizer, you enjoy making SUCCESS HAPPEN!  Raising funds for charity organizations and non-profit agencies gives you deep satisfaction knowing that you are helping a worthy cause, interest and foundation for the community. 

      As a Fundraiser Consultant and Coordinator, you have the ability to work with many groups of people who hold their special interest to heart.  You have probably already experienced positions that involve asking for money and working on capital campaigns.  Non-profits rely on grants and community support to continue their program services.  Maybe you have written grants before!  In any case, this field appeals to you and you've been thinking about starting a business on your own.

      As an independent consultant, you have the freedom to experience new ways of raising funds and organizing events that are fun-filled and beneficial.  You can work as an advisor to an organization and be in charge of events management.  So, who are your clients?

Social Service Agencies

Soccer Teams

School Districts

Churches

Local Candidates Campaigning

Kennel Clubs

Special Interest Clubs

...and more!

FREEDOM

     Having a business on your own and perhaps even working from the home offers a lifestyle of independence, flexibility and diversion.  Your current job may not offer this, yet being on your own can release you from a work that confines you.  This may, of course, offer you a 'comfort zone' that you are use to, yet doing something that you truly enjoy doing makes up the difference.

CREATIVITY & CONTACTS

     Have the know-how already and a contact base that makes you viable for this type of work is the first step in going independent.  You probably have always been creative in your efforts to help others raise funds and you enjoy event planning and campaign management!  You have to ask yourself what steps are needed to venture into this field? 

    A working plan that you specifically design explores your market, target and your business structure.  Many people skip this step, yet if you haven't surveyed all your options, you may miss out!    We like to plan and organize  events, yet the first thing to organize is your business operations.   This step is vital for the strong business base that you want to develop.  You want to start off in the right direction so that you won't have to 'back-track' latter down the road.  Therefore, a Business Plan is the key to success---a well thought-out plan.
