Make a plan

Tell us what you need.

Seed Level acts as a virtual development accelerator. Which areas are you looking to optimize?

Where would you like your organization to be in a year? How about in five years? No matter how hard you and your staff work, it is difficult to reach a destination with no map of how to get there. We will assess where you are now and, based on your goals, what you will need to achieve your goals. We will create a strategic marketing and outreach plan that your team can execute on its own or we can help you every step of the way. If you need more staff or capital expenditures to get there, we will build in strategies to obtain the necessary funding.

Seed the field

Non-profits grow and thrive by continually attracting new donors, grants and volunteers. This replaces those who stop contributing because they move away, become disinterested, experience personal changes or pass away and helps grow your donor and volunteer bases.

Grant research and writing

Let Seed Level research foundations and government entities that want to fund projects that are near and dear to your heart. Once we find some grants that are compatible, we will write a grant proposal that is complete and compelling. To ensure that there is a good fit and that your grant proposal has the maximum chance of success, we will handle communications with funding organizations.

Digital marketing campaigns

We can create and manage new, low-cost digital marketing campaigns to increase awareness, online and in-person participation and drive donations. For maximum effectiveness, it may include a multi-channel approach with search engine advertising, social media advertising and email.

Grow and refine

Donor management and retention

On average, non-profit executives rate themselves a 5.7 on a 10-point scale when it comes to donor retention. Just like in for-profit business, winning a first-time customer (or donor) is only half the battle. Loyal donors will give much more to your organization than one-time donors. The benefits multiply not just in financial donations received, but in new donor outreach, volunteerism and your organization’s visibility. Seed Level can create easy to run donor management and retention systems and strategies so your organization never lets a donor languish and drop off again.

Volunteer management and retention

Many non-profits depend on volunteers to do the vital work of the organization. Individuals who volunteer their time are crucial to non-profits’ ability to do more with fewer financial resources. Yet they can be challenging to utilize to their full extent because of shifting schedules and priorities. We can create redundant systems so that your projects can go on as planned, even if volunteers are unable to show up. And by implementing volunteer engagement programs, we can increase engagement for the long-term.

Gather the harvest

Fundraising events

Whether it is your annual gala or a fun outing for your young donor group, Seed Level can help you to plan and execute your event, from its theme to the venue, food served and entertainment to the marketing and fundraising appeal. With the help of major donors and corporate sponsors, your event can be done with relatively little financial investment but a big payout from supporters.

Donor outreach

Are you maximizing your donor database? Your organization needs to stay top-of-mind, especially for major donors. We can set up regular personalized outreach to your biggest individual and corporate donors for continued support.
