Our Services

At Tresner Associates, our goal is to be on demand but not on salary. As consultants, we offer senior level guidance and experience in a working relationship with your staff.

Our clients fall into two main categories: those without a senior level director of external affairs (or philanthropy) or those who need specific, targeted help on development initiatives, including capital campaigns.

For both kinds of clients, we focus on a pragmatic partnership approach, so that you have access to our industry knowledge on a real-time basis. We view our role as more than merely executing on a campaign but helping that process be transformative for your organization.  This means results.

We specialize in:

• Capital and Comprehensive Campaign Planning AND Execution: We can help you plan for your next campaign. We also can go the next step and help with board development, training materials, grant writing and major gift solicitation.
• Project Start-Up AND System Stabilizing: We can help you move from providing your community with the support it needs, to becoming a reliable community partner. Our consultants have experience working in-depth with clients to create streamlined systems and automated workflows to help move nonprofits to greater progress.
• Building a Case for support AND deploying it
• Board development, governance and meaningful volunteer leadership:
• How to work with volunteers to advance your organization’s mission
• Strategic plans vs the Day to Day
• Measuring your development efforts
• Database Selection AND Data Management
• Prospect Research AND Prospect Pipelining
