FUNDRAISING SUPPORT FOR
WESTERN COLORADO NONPROFITS
From a single grant to a multi-million-dollar capital campaign, we help your organization build the revenue it needs to keep doing the work that matters.
FUNDRAISING SUPPORT WHEN AND WHERE YOU NEED IT
Spring grant deadlines inch closer, your case for support hasn't been updated in years, and your fundraising team is…you.
We know most nonprofits don’t have a dedicated fundraising team. If your fundraising plan is running on fumes, Third Sector Innovations can help you build a grant program or capital campaign that works, with on-the-ground support as needed.
HOW WE HELP YOU FUNDRAISE
-
Need grant support? We'll get your relevant data, craft your mission narrative, gather budget details, and hit that deadline. Short-term support is available, and no long-term commitment is required.
-
We'll track deadlines, manage your calendar, write the applications, and handle the reporting so nothing falls through the cracks. This is our bread and butter: research, writing, submission, attachments, and follow-through, managed start to finish.
-
We'll plug into your team, build out your donor systems, and keep your fundraising moving when you're stretched too thin. Reach out if you need help with donor cultivation, a development plan, or just an extra set of hands.
-
We'll build your case for support, find your donors, and guide your campaign from first ask to ribbon cutting. We've helped Western Colorado organizations raise anywhere from $500,000 to more than $15 million for the big projects that matter most.

Our grant services can begin as soon as we are available, and turnaround will depend on whether your organization has existing or past successful grants to build from or if you’re starting from scratch. We’ll typically conduct a grant funder search at the outset of our involvement, and we’ll do these regularly to keep apprised of potential fits for your organization. We also offer monthly reports updating on progress: applications outstanding, grants awarded, upcoming deadlines, etc.
-
