    A solid strategy begins with a thorough understanding of your inherent strengths. Through a comprehensive assessment and analysis of your fundraising program, we can develop a robust plan for the future that caters to your specific needs.

  • Long and Short Range Strategic Planning

    Strategic planning offers a framework for making day-to-day decisions that align with a broader vision. With the right strategy, you can establish a clear direction, set important priorities, improve operational efficiency, and keep your focus on your long-term goals.

  • Custom Metrics and Performance Tracking

    Performance metrics play a crucial role in the success of an organization. It is vital for organizations to create custom metrics that reinforce their distinct strategy. By identifying and building dynamic tools that fit your organization you will be able to manage and maximize short-term activities that lead to long-term success.

  • One-on-One Counsel and Support Services

    While strategic plans and custom metrics are important, they are not enough to ensure success. In order to accomplish your goals you need someone who can walk with you…helping you think creatively, providing innovative ideas that add value to your leadership, and keeping you focused on the things that matter most.

“Navigating the highs and lows of non-profit fundraising has taught me a valuable lesson - you cannot do it alone. To achieve success you need an experienced partner who can help you set the right strategy, make the right decisions, and stay focused on the right goals. That’s why I started Stride Fundraising.”

– Ben Waterman, CEO - Stride

With over a decade of executive experience in leading fundraising strategy, I understand the immense pressures and challenges that accompany the fundraising process. I have worked for both large and small Christian non-profits, developing strategy and overseeing operations, and I’ve had the opportunity to raise tens of millions of dollars for these amazing organizations through a highly relational fundraising approach.

Leveraging this experience my goal is to help non-profit organizations build momentum, establish a pace for growth, and ultimately find their stride.
