Rates, Fees & Costs
FCi adheres to the code of Ethics of the American Association of Fund Raising Counsel in establishing fees for services.
This code states that fees are charged at a set and agreed upon rate with the client. FCi does not take a percentage of funds raised, nor do we accept a commission for any servcies.
Services are charged on a flat-fee basis - in advance - depending on the time and staffing requirements of each project.
In most cases, additional expenses such as; specialist consulting fees, administrative support, telephone, travel, postage, photocopying, creative and production of printed materials, meetings and the like can be accurately estimated.
Thus, each client knows - in advance - what the maximum fund-raising costs will be.
Why Chose FCi ?
Competition for philanthropic support services is intense. Providers range from national organizations to small specialty firms that focus in narrow sectors.
Organization that are able to compete successfully demonstrate responsible planning and project management.
Why is outside fund raising counsel a wise choice?
As an objective outsider, a consultant will act as a catalyst to get the important jobs done.
Consultants bring a fresh perspective.
Consultants have been exposed to many situations - they've seen it before! They've been in your shoes. They've experienced successful outcomes. What may seem new and difficult to you has probably been experienced by oithers wiuth whom your consultant has worked.
Consultants bring people and resources together, create synergies and integrate talent.
A good Fund Development Consultant knows how to make those crucial linkages between your organization and donors.
