Why Wingo, Inc.?
Our clients outsource all or part of their fundraising and donor communication programs for many reasons:
You get five people for the price of one, or less. You can get your individual, corporate and foundation giving program – as well all your design needs – accomplished for less than what you would pay one development director, with no fringe benefits and no office.
Some hire us to create and implement their development program to get the organization to the point where they can hire a more junior development person to manage and grow the program, or attract a hirer caliber person who may be very attracted to the mission but does not have the skill or interest in building the fundraising program from scratch.
Clients get not only the expertise they need, but also the actual hands to do the work. We are a full-service firm. We design and write the appeal, stuff it, lick the envelope, put in the mail and make the follow-up phone call.
We step in during a transition in development staff to make sure that nothing falls through the cracks. Many also use this time for a “tune up,” to train staff and board or refresh their case materials.
Many are attracted to a firm that can meet their fundraising and design needs under one roof. We can write grants and produce events, at the same time designing and writing your newsletter and re-branding the organization.
Larger organizations often call us to help launch or re-energize their major gifts campaigns. Start-up organizations value our expertise, patience and warmth. Our reputation proceeds us. Most all of our clients are word of mouth, and here is what a few recent clients have said:
“I would like to heartily thank you, not only for all the hard work you and your staff did on our behalf, but for the insightful, good-natured, and often hilarious way in which you performed your duties. We appreciate the extreme regard you gave to GVHS, its board and its staff.”
Marri Davis, Board of Directors Greenwich Village High School
“Thank you again for the wonderful workshop in Yonkers. The evaluations only underscore what we saw firsthand – an audience hanging on every word and asking intelligent questions. You gave those folks and NPCC a tremendous gift.”
Marcia Brown, Program Director Non-Profit Coordinating Committee of New York
“Thank you so much for all your hard work in making the New York House Party happen – from finding a great venue, to building a guest list, to putting together a wonderful feast of hors d’oeuvres! I really appreciate all the help you gave me in order to ensure that my first New York house party was a success!”
Cynde Horne, Assistant Director of Major Gifts National Gay & Lesbian Task Force
