How We Help Organizations Grow

Every organization is different.

Your fundraising strategy should be too.

The Granados Group develops customized engagements based on an organization's mission, goals, audience, existing relationships, capacity, and opportunities.

Our work can range from strategic advisory and coaching to hands-on partnership development and fundraising execution.


Our Services

Strategic Fundraising & Revenue Growth

Build a stronger fundraising strategy, not simply a bigger prospect list.

We help organizations evaluate existing fundraising programs, identify opportunities for growth, strengthen cultivation and stewardship, and develop strategies designed to create sustainable revenue.

Services may include:

Corporate Partnerships & Sponsorships

Find the alignment before making the ask.

Corporate partnerships are one of The Granados Group's core areas of expertise.

We help organizations understand where their mission intersects with a company's business priorities, philanthropic initiatives, employees, customers, leadership, and community commitments. From there, we build the strategy for engagement.

THE GOAL: Move from sponsorship to partnership and give companies compelling reasons to remain engaged throughout the year.

Board & Executive Engagement

Turn leadership networks into organizational assets.

Board members and executives can be some of an organization's most powerful ambassadors, but only when they're given clear, meaningful ways to engage. We help organizations create structures that make participation easier and more productive.

Services may include:

  • Board fundraising strategy

  • Network mapping

Events That Drive Mission & Revenue

An event should be more than one successful night.

Galas, conferences, runs, receptions, and other signature events can create powerful opportunities for revenue, visibility, stewardship, and relationship-building. We approach events through a mission focused, fundraising and engagement lens.

Services may include:

  • Event fundraising strategy

  • Sponsorship development

  • Revenue modeling

  • Host Committee strategy

  • Corporate engagement

  • Donor cultivation

  • Leadership engagement

  • Event positioning and messaging

  • Auction and revenue strategy

  • Volunteer engagement

  • Post-event stewardship

  • Event assessment and evolution

THE GOAL: Make the event part of a larger relationship strategy rather than an isolated annual fundraiser.

Strategy, Trends & Innovation

Stay relevant in a rapidly changing philanthropic landscape.

Sometimes an organization doesn't need another plan. It needs an outside perspective willing to ask whether the existing plan still makes sense.

We help leaders evaluate fundraising and engagement through the lens of changing corporate priorities, donor behavior, technology, communications, economic conditions, and philanthropic trends.

Engagements may include:

  • Strategic advisory

  • Fundraising assessments

  • Partnership portfolio reviews

  • Trend analysis

  • Technology and AI integration

  • Engagement strategy

  • Organizational positioning

  • Brainstorming and innovation sessions

  • Executive coaching

  • Special projects

THE GOAL: Help organizations adapt before they're forced to.
