Use the same tactics as the top leaders in the industry.
Our experts have simplified the fundraising tactics used by the most successful tax-exempt organizations in the country so that small and medium-sized organizations can apply them to their ecosystems.
We’re eager to share these secrets with organizations that deserve to thrive.
This strategy goes beyond simple fundraisers, raffles, and Giving Tuesday emails. The Cogeo approach establishes a professionalized culture of development within your organization.
So, what does it take to establish a culture of development? You must:
Develop a consistent, powerful message that your entire leadership can be excited about and proud to share.
Implement the right tools to get hyper-organized and track and manage donor data and tasks.
Build a dynamic team of well-connected individuals with affinity for your organization who will help drive your campaign.
Gather the right information about foundations, corporations, and government opportunities in your area.
Create a sustainable strategy that will be successful within your organization and community.
“Cogeo's development services should be bottled up and applied to every organization. Their attentiveness in identifying the best strategy for EMA was stellar. Their attention to detail throughout all phases of our trajectory has been a solid backbone for our organization's growth and success.”

MAJOR GIFTS
The most efficient way to get funding is through high-net-worth individuals. Cogeo uses a wealth screening technology to uncover individuals with over $1mm in net worth to approach and make highly intellectual asks.
ANNUAL & MEMBERSHIP GIVING
At the right time, we will help you launch an annual appeal to your community (minus major gift donors and prospects). We will help craft strategic messaging to get as much data and funding from your community as possible. If necessary, we will also help you coordinate events and launch crowdfunding campaigns.
FOUNDATIONS

CAPITAL PROJECTS
Using simple but thorough tactics, Cogeo can determine the success of a capital project and can prepare and execute a campaign that will see quick, dynamic results.
BOARD DEVELOPMENT
Leadership is everything when it comes to the nonprofit industry. Cogeo can help get your Board of Directors engaged and involved, as well as recruit the right members.
STEWARDSHIP
Cogeo works within the Moves Management method and utilizes stewardship tactics to build relationships and networks in order to bring in high-dollar donations.
PLANNED GIVING
Our experts want to make your organization an attractive destination for donors to leave their estates. Planned gifts and a planned giving program are excellent ways to do this.
TRANSFORMATIONAL GIFTS
There is an art to receiving a transformational gift. Our experts believe that a donation this size can be nurtured and then leveraged to drive continued momentum in your organization’s fundraising efforts and overall success.
“I am enormously impressede by the entire team at Cogeo. From the moment they got involved with my non-profit charity, they hit the ground running with strategic guidance, a flurry of great ideas, and infectious passion and commitment.”
