Ambassador Program Development

Harnessing the passion of current supporters to inspire passion and generosity in others

  • Empowering supporters to share their stories and amplify your messages
  • Generating enthusiasm and excitement for organizational efforts
  • Sharing tools ambassadors can use in communications and outreach

Building A Culture of Generosity

Today’s financial outcomes and cultivating tomorrow’s givers are both important 

  • Coaching boards and key supporters on the strategies behind seed and match gifts
  • Fostering a mindset of “everyone can play a role in fundraising”
  • Developing cohesive, mission-forward event/campaign messaging that inspires giving
  • Creating an event/campaign experience that is positive, relevant, and memorable for everyone

Donor Stewardship and Engagement

When donors feel appreciated and understand the difference their giving makes, it leads to better retention, increased donations, and engagement beyond giving.

  • Developing strategies for ongoing donor communications and touchpoints
  • Creating surveys and insight panels to better understand the motivations, interests, and identity of donors
  • Identifying key donor segments and creating targeted messaging and outreach strategies

What Our Clients Say

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Fladeboe Advancement for the last several years through a partnership around our annual gala and beyond. Thanks to their support, we’ve seen continued growth across all key indicators for our event. Their expertise around messaging, strategic giving and industry best practices has helped keep our event engaging and led to deeper relationships with our guests and donors. At our most recent gala, we raised over $800,000 in part due to our expanded partnership with Fladeboe. Their advanced analytics work and recommendations for further engagement with guests led to a greater number of returning guests and increased giving at all levels. We’ve also seen a greater number of event donors make annual fund gifts year-over-year. I would highly recommend Fladeboe Advancement if you’re looking to increase fundraising at your event and deepen engagement with your guests and donors for the long haul.”
