Our Services
Finance Operations & Systems Setup
We build or refine the core infrastructure a campaign needs to run an efficient fundraising operation — including data tracking, donor database setup, recurring reporting, pledge systems, and follow-up workflows that keep the program organized and high-performing.
Political Action Committee Fundraising
With experience raising over $5M in PAC contributions in one cycle, we help candidates activate and grow support from national trade associations, Fortune 500 corporate PACs, unions, and issue advocacy groups. We manage outreach strategy, prepare meeting materials, and guide candidates through relationship-building and stewardship.
Event Planning & Execution
From intimate host gatherings to larger receptions and multi-event fundraising tours, We design events that maximize revenue and build durable donor relationships. We oversee logistics, host recruitment, invitation production, guest follow-up, and on-site management to ensure smooth execution and strong returns.
Donor Pipeline Development & Research
Using structured research and relationship-mapping techniques, we build robust prospect lists tailored to the candidate's profile, network, and potential political coalition. We identify new donors, strengthen lapsed donor engagement, and create a clear roadmap for expanding the campaign’s fundraising universe.
Candidate & Staff Training
We train candidates and campaign staff on best practices in fundraising, including call-time execution, meeting preparation, donor communication, event protocols, and internal finance systems. Trainings focus on building confidence, improving efficiency, and ensuring the campaign operates with professionalism and consistency from day one.
Donor Advising & Strategic Giving Support
For individual and institutional donors, we offer personalized advising to help them maximize the impact of their political giving. This includes developing giving strategies that reflect their priorities and values, assessing opportunities across races and committees, organizing portfolios of potential investments, and providing ongoing insights into political landscapes and funding needs.
