At Bristol Strategy Group, we’re  experts in sustainable fund development.  It's our mission to make your fund development efforts more successful and more productive by addressing the way you manage fundraising performance.

We simplify the way you create performance indicators, success measures, and the rules, guidelines, benchmarks and reporting methods that you, your team, and your board can improve development results continuously, year after year.

Working with us, you will raise MORE income with LESS effort and lower costs.  Improve the ROI of your entire fund development effort, so you'll always know what's working, what's not, and what to change.

• Choose the Right Donor/Funder Prospects: Invest in the foundations, donors, and corporate partners that are right for you and deliver optimum results.  Don't waste scarce, precious development time on prospects that are "dead on arrival" and can't provide the return you seek.
• Diversify Your Funding:  Ensure that funding comes from the right mix of funding sources, be they gifts, grants or corporate relations.
• Engage Your Board:  Simplify the fundraising process for members of your board; leverage their passion for your cause, and reduce "ask"  reluctance.
• Manage Fundraising Performance More Effectively - Or Let Us Manage It For You!  We give you the tools to manage performance for continuous improvement, maintaining focus on donors, clarity and motivation.
