Services and
Capabilities 

Overview

The Philanthropic Advisory™ focuses on three distinct areas: People, Programs, and Plans. Each begins with an assessment. Each ends with measurable outcomes. None of them ends with only a report and a handshake, but rather a roadmap and an executable strategy. That is why every engagement begins with assessment, not as a formality, but as the foundation of everything that follows. Not just advice. TPA provides strategic counsel, seasoned leadership, and execution-oriented support built for today’s nonprofit reality.

Trends

43-46% Retention

Donor retention rates across the nonprofit sector hover between 43-46%. More than half of all donors who gave last year, won't give this year. Are you addressing this challenge?

64-67%

Total individual giving remains the sector's foundation. Individual donors account for approximately 64-67% of all charitable contributions. Are you focusing on your individual donors?

18-24 months

Research from sector workforce studies consistently places fundraiser turnover at 18-24 months. How are you managing burnout, agency erosion, and turnover intentions?
