Portfolio maximization strategy

Unlock revenue in existing donor relationships

Learn a sustainable approach your team can apply independently, year after year.

In today’s economic climate, the smartest fundraising strategy isn’t always pursuing new relationships. It’s maximizing the untapped potential already in your portfolio.

Build your fundraising team’s capacity for ongoing success

Our approach delivers results and builds lasting internal capability. We train your team to identify and capture incremental revenue opportunities with current donors and partners, giving you a repeatable system you’ll own and continue using long after our engagement ends.

Our focused 6-week engagement is built on Good Scout’s proven philosophy: always start with the good you already have.
