What We Do
At Joanne Oppelt Consulting, LLC we partner with nonprofits to help them:
- Integrate fundraising with strategic planning, marketing, operations and financial systems
- Build or rebuild revenue streams, creating a sustainable funding environment
- Increase organizational capacity
Today’s nonprofits are experiencing greater demands for their services stemming from increasingly unmet community needs yet face rising expenses and unsteady or diminishing revenue sources. Never has the need for strategic and effective fundraising been greater.
At the same time, more than 80 percent of New Jersey’s more than 34,000 nonprofits have annual budgets of less than $500,000. Every dollar is precious. Whether through blog posts, online workshops,or consulting engagements, we will show you how an investment today in building a strategic fundraising infrastructure will return long-term financial dividends.
