The Development Department has a team of grantwriters with proven records of successful submissions to corporate, private, and family foundations both national and local in scope.  Our prospect research associates can provide you with a vetted list of foundation prospects specific to the needs of your organization. We also have experience with large, structured government grants and reports.  We are prepared to write full proposals with financial attachments, submit interim and final reports, and track upcoming deadlines on your behalf.

Identifying, cultivating, soliciting, and stewarding donors are the foundation blocks of successful major donor programs. The Development Department associates have extensive track records as some of the most creative and professional fundraisers in the National Capital Region. We will work with your organization to create and manage your individual giving program for both unrestricted and restricted fundraising.  Strategies for cultivation, solicitation, and stewardship will be part of our strategic fundraising plan for your organization.

Managing membership programs is a complex and exacting business. At The Development Department we excel at the minutia of membership. From helping you decide on the proper software to manage your membership program, and training your staff on proper data entry and record-keeping, we are committed to establishing well run and productive membership programs. Our team can assist with acquisition initiatives, renewals, annual appeals, and other special membership projects, as needed.
