FAQ’s
Can smaller organizations benefit?

Our services are designed to help organizations of all sizes build a sustainable foundation, making the most of their resources to achieve long-term success.
How will building development infrastructure save us time and money?
A strong infrastructure streamlines your processes and automates manual tasks, freeing up your staff’s time to focus on strategic activities. Additionally, enhanced donor engagement and stewardship systems lead to higher donor retention, reducing the costs associated with acquiring new donors. The result? A more efficient organization with a stronger financial foundation.
How do I know if my organization needs development services?

S&L Strategic Solutions conducts comprehensive audits to identify gaps and optimize your approach to donor engagement and fundraising, ensuring your organization is equipped for growth.
What's included in the development audit and how will it help?
Our development audit covers donation processes, donor experience, and internal policies. We assess your current practices against industry best standards and identify key areas for improvement. The goal is to build efficiencies, enhance donor interactions, and create a cohesive approach to your organization’s growth strategy.
What if my organization can't afford to invest in new infrastructure?
We understand budget constraints are a concern. Investing in infrastructure might seem like a big step, but neglecting it can lead to inefficiencies, donor losses, and overworked staff. By creating sustainable systems, we help you build a strong foundation for the future. Think of it as an investment that ultimately saves you money and strengthens your impact.
How can events be used to effectively add new donors and follow up with them afterwards?
Events are a great way to attract new supporters and deepen connections with existing donors. We help you design events with clear goals, targeted outreach, and a structured follow-up plan. Post-event, we establish systems to capture attendee information and segment new donors for personalized follow-up, turning one-time participants into long-term supporters.
