� May we help your organization grow?
We focus on
capacity
building:
The mission of our organization is simple: to help organizations grow. With a focus on capacity building, Designs in Development seeks to advance the internal strength of a nonprofit or government entity so that more revenues will be generated, more programs will be successful. As a result, stronger decisions will be made by board members and/or leadership staff to support current and future initiatives.
We understand that an integrated approach to all of our work leads to better outcomes. In executive search, for example, we like to involve multiple team members. In revenue generation, we engage all of the top leadership, if possible, including staff and board, to develop a feasible tactical plan to meet organizational goals.
Our enthusiastic, affordable, comprehensive approach serves organizations in an ethical and supportive manner.
We are committed to ethical practice:
Our founder is recipient of AFP's Suncoast 2008Horton Lifetime Achievement Award in Philanthropy.
We support and adhere to the principals and ethics of the:
• Donor Bill of Rights
• Association of
Fundraising Professionals
• American Society of Association
Execs
• National Committee for Gift Planning
• Association of Philanthropic Counsel.
