Organizations need to be clear about who they are and what they stand for in order to attract the best donors.  Savvy donors know whether a board is prepared or not to explain what kind of stewardship the entity can offer with integrity.  Part of donor development is developing real trust with the donor, and part of it is preparing the entity to steward a big gift. We help boards to set the organization in order by working with administrators and board members alike to get the entire entity on mission.  Stewardship happens when organizations operate on mission, and stewardship begets more donors.
