Call details
What we'd like to talk about
As a new nonprofit (formed in 2015), we are looking to develop a source of reliable funding (who isn't?). We need help developing a coherent strategy to target corporate sponsors.
Additional context
Other avenues we're considering include government grants or contracts, individual memberships, and grants from foundations. In essence, we could really use a fundraising expert's perspective on which target has highest likelihood of succeeding and how to go about executing our strategy.
"Phone calls" are 1 hour, one-time calls with an organization. Learn the difference between volunteering on a Phone call and a Project here.

Our mission
Empowering citizens, government and business leaders to
keep Massachusetts communities clean and beautiful
What we do
Keep Massachusetts Beautiful is a non-profit organization that is working to
keep Massachusetts communities clean, litter-free and beautiful. We
believe that litter, illegal dumpsites, graffiti, and vacant lots not only
hurt property values and discourage economic development, but they also
reduce a community’s collective self-esteem.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. We train local volunteers how to
collaborate with local government and business leaders to achieve
significant and lasting improvements. We focus on three core pressure
points in order to improve the appearance of local communities and
influence behaviors:
Litter prevention and cleanup: Understand who and what is causing litter
and empower volunteer and government resources to clean it up.
Beautification and community greening: Sprucing up public spaces with
landscaping projects, tree planting, and other infrastructure improvements
builds community pride and spurs local economic activity.
Recycling and Waste Reduction: Effective recycling programs reduce the
volume of trash that ends up in landfills, in our waterways, and as litter.
Testimonials
Aaron was very helpful and had some great ideas about the best ways to get my fundraising efforts off the ground. I would recommend him if you need help developing and executing a fundraising strategy but don't know where to start.
I very much enjoyed my visit the founder of Keep Massachusetts Beautiful. We discussed many ideas to help take his fundraising to the next level. He was easy to work with and more than eager to learn. Highly Recommend!
