Here's where I come in.
Wherever your program is today, one of these is a good place to start. Let's talk about which.
BUILD
Ground Floor
When you're starting a partnership program from scratch.
Best for: Early-stage or grassroots nonprofits building a partnership program for the first time. One dedicated development staff member or an ED wearing the development hat.
RUN
Room Service
When your program works and you're ready to grow it.
Best for: Nonprofits with an existing partnership program and someone running it, ready to grow it more intentionally.
FIX
The Residency
When your program's stalled and needs a rebuild.
Best for: Established nonprofits with a development team whose partnership program has plateaued or stalled. Ready for a full rebuild.
Sometimes the right first step is a small one.
Not every organization needs the whole build. Each of these is a complete piece of work that stands on its own. Some lead to something bigger, and some are exactly the right size already.
Findings and Recommendations - When you need an honest outside read.
Stewardship System Design - When donors and sponsors feel processed instead of seen.
Design and Collateral - When your materials don't match your value.
Organizations I've been lucky to work with
Take their word for it
"Joey brought energy, creativity, and strategic vision to the museum's corporate giving program at a critical time... His ability to build meaningful relationships, connect funders with true needs, and focus on long-term, sustainable success made him an invaluable member of our team."
Randall Roberts
Associate Vice President of Development, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art
"Joey is incredible at taking the time to get to truly know the donor. But then his attention to detail, execution, and follow through is unmatched. When he's on your team, he makes everyone around him better."
Kevin Clarke
Director of Corporate Partnerships, Big Brothers Big Sisters Kansas City
"When my organization became a corporate partner of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Joey was our primary contact person for the partnership. Joey was very buttoned-up, and nothing ever slipped through the cracks when it came to our partnership benefits. We found the partnership to be very beneficial, largely because of Joey's follow-through. In addition, Joey is a great person, so everyone on our team loved working with him!"
Dave Borchardt
Vice President of Corporate & Community Relations, KC Sports Commission
