Some CDS Clients, because of the nature of their campaigns, require more specialized or intensive services in certain areas. Other non-profit organizations may need help meeting a specific development challenge or fundraising opportunity. CDS has a range of intensive services available to these non-profits at affordable rates.
Creative Writing Services
In today's lightning quick society, ready materials must be both concise and descriptive. CDS has a network of outstanding writers capable of developing thought provoking case statements, creating effective advertising copy, writing grant proposals (governments and foundations) and crafting helpful technical manuals with clear and understandable text.
Creative Artwork and Printing Design
Well-written copy becomes an exciting and eye-catching campaign brochure when placed into the gifted hands of an accomplished graphic artist. CDS has talented award winning graphic designers who can help you develop materials that are exciting, attractive and affordable.
Prospective Donor Research
The bulk of donor research is done by actively listening to board members, current donors, volunteers and other leaders in the community: When a more extensive inquiry is needed, our professional donor research team can lead an in-depth search for vital information utilizing our subscriptions to special online databases and research tools available over the Internet and on CD-ROMS.
Board Building, Leadership
A strong board means strong finances - the best board members raise money easily and they spend money carefully. CDS can honestly assess your board's strengths and weaknesses and help you develop a plan for constructive growth. If you clearly delineate each board member's roles and responsibilities and if each board member agrees to accept individual responsibility to work toward a common goal, your organization will be poised to succeed.
Website Design
More and more people have daily interaction with their community through the Internet. A custom website gives your organization the capacity to reach a broader public, informing and educating people on your mission and needs. CDS can help your non-profit organization plan, design, build and maintain a website so that you benefit from this powerful communications tool. We can also guide you through the process of soliciting and accepting contributions online.
Executive Search and Recruiting
Responsible, talented leadership is vital to any organization, especially non-profits, who must battle for the best management talent within the constraints of limited funds. CDS' knowledge of the development community allows us to quickly find the best people for your organization's leadership team.
