Finance

Not all money is the right money for your organization. Intentionality is key.

A good nonprofit organizational funding portfolio is diverse and continuous. However, developing and executing long-term financial goals can be challenging, especially when day-to-day operations impact the time and resources available to nonprofit leaders.

Ivanhoe Development adheres to the following principle: you can't continue to serve your community if your organization’s financial health remains at risk.

Our team works to diagnose the financial health of our organization, provide financial plans, and diversify your revenue. We specialize in the following areas:

  • Our team serves as reviewers on federal, state, and foundation levels to stay current with the latest trends and approaches. Not all grants are suitable for your organization. Our team carefully reviews available grants by metrics, including their size, reporting requirements, and potential ethical concerns, to ensure sustainable growth for your team. We then work to secure and manage these opportunities to provide consistent revenue streams.

  • Corporations play an essential role in funding organizations, but require careful consideration regarding relationship-building, staff time, and promotion requirements. Our team works closely with your staff to create and manage a corporate partnership plan. We remain committed to your organization’s autonomy and work to manage these partnerships carefully and ethically.

  • Ivanhoe Development staff have worked with congressional members and the U.S. Department of State to secure and manage six—and seven-figure projects. We know how to showcase your organization’s needs and connect you to elected officials to build long-term support. We understand the complexities of changing administrations and how to reframe needs based on changing political climates.

  • Direct monetary support is not the only way to increase your organization's financial health. In-kind support through capacity building, training, technical support, and more can allow you and your staff to improve your service delivery. Need more time to pursue a grant or other opportunity? Our team finds and manages co-organizational partnerships with MOU creation and sub-award opportunities.
