Dawn of a New Day
Aurora... Dawn of a New Day... Dawn of Your New Era
Robbe and Theresa at Aurora Philanthropic want to help you feel amazing about the work you do and the way you are helping others to know that they are making a difference for what matters most to them.
How would you feel if you could re-make your organization into the ideal way to:
- DELIVER services to your constituents (or people you serve)
- HELP your donors have community impact that gives them pride and great satisfaction
- MAKE your organization one of the most sought-after organizations in which to work
People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

I Am Looking for Help With...
STRATEGIC PLANNING
Your strategic plan is your roadmap to the future. Develop a new plan or refresh your current plan.
BOARD GOVERNANCE
High performing boards are essential resources and important assets - with specific roles to play. Transform your Board for success!
FUNDRAISING PLANNING & OPERATIONS
Successful fundraising requires the right plan, right approaches, and the right timing for your culture.
CAPITAL CAMPAIGNS
We need a Capital Campaign! We don’t know where to start … will it harm our annual giving?
TEAM BUILDING
The most important asset of every organization is its people! In nonprofits, that includes volunteers as well as staff.
LEADERSHIP COACHING
Help! I need to keep everyone motivated and focused on reaching our goals. Our results are OK, but they need to be much better if we are going to grow as planned!
Fund Raising Bright Spots
What does excellence look like?
Some of the answers are in Fund Raising Bright Spots, a report commissioned by the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund in partnership with CompassPoint. Research identified and confirmed successful organizations know individual support is critical and a consistent revenue strategy is part of the organization’s DNA.
The holistic culture and behavior of each organization includes:
- Fundraising is distributed broadly across staff, board, and volunteers.
- Fundraising is core to the organization’s identity.
- Fundraising succeeds because of authentic relationships with donors.
- Fundraising is characterized by persistence, discipline, and intentionality.
“Why is this important?”
“Because fundraising is NOT about the money. It is about the RELATIONSHIPS”
"If you would like ideas on how to build strong and productive relationships with your donors, we can help."
