Welcome to Bristol Strategy Group 

Welcome to Bristol Strategy Group! I'm Ellen Bristol, and I can help you get better fundraising results. I've worked with nonprofits for about twenty years, helping them get more income with less effort.   Whether your nonprofit is a small, local social services agency, a regional performing arts organization, or a national charity, we have the resources to help you exceed your goals.

We've helped hundreds of nonprofits reach fundraising success and maintain their edge. We help you answer the critical strategic questions like these:

• Which donors, grantors, and corporate partners are right for us - and how do we know?
• Do our development efforts produce consistent, predictable income, and if not, why?
  
• How well engaged is our governing board in the fundraising process?
  What does it take to manage and motivate our development staff and contractors?
• How can we make sure they bring in optimum levels of gifts and grants?
