We’re a fundraising advisory firm offering real-time advice to help our clients grow and make an impact.
The best orchards are managed holistically.
Every orchardist knows that your choice of rootstock determines so much about the trees you grow: height and spread, disease resistance, bearing age and longevity, time to first harvest, and climate hardiness. So when thinking about a name for my new firm, I chose the name “Rootstock Philanthropy” to signal my belief in a tailored approach to the growth and timescale needs of every single client.
I chose the name, “Rootstock” because believe that your fundraising advisory firm should be the unseen catalyst for your organization’s growth, not the star attraction. This means that all credit for your organizational success remains in the hands of your staff, board, and executive leadership – where it truly belongs.
So whether you’re facing tight fundraising timelines and need a rootstock that grows fast and bears fruit early, or are willing to impart a larger initial investment of time and effort to create the proper branching structures and root depth to achieve higher average crop yields, cold hardiness, and longevity - Rootstock has you covered.
What we offer
Fundraising Strategy
You need more than a big idea. You need a bold strategy to bring it to fruition. The more groundbreaking your concept, the more you need firm ground for that initiative to take root.
This is especially true in fundraising. The donors of today have more choices than ever, more information than ever, and higher expectations than ever for the impact and outcomes of their donations.
Rootstock can advise, steer, or guide your efforts to a successful conclusion.
Interim Leadership
When a Director of Development position becomes vacant or during a transition period, bringing in an interim professional ensures continuity in fundraising operations.
Rootstock provides stability and keeps your fundraising initiatives on track while your organization searches for a permanent replacement, minimizing disruptions and maintaining momentum.
And with our fresh perspective, we way see new opportunities while providing constructive feedback on existing strategies.
