Our Services

Blue Ash Philanthropy helps organizations build stronger foundation relationships, major gift programs, and fundraising leadership. Clients work directly with me. The goal is clear strategy, practical execution, and results that last.

Core Services

Foundation Strategy

Organizations receive help identifying the right foundations, opening doors, and building lasting relationships. Work includes prospect research, outreach planning, letters of inquiry, full proposals, and follow-up strategy. The focus stays on creating a steady pipeline rather than one-off asks.

Major Donor Strategy

Leadership teams receive support identifying high-capacity prospects, designing cultivation plans, and strengthening personal relationships that lead to significant gifts. This often includes Moves Management systems, donor profiles, and coaching on conversations and asks.

Prospect Research and Proposals

Detailed prospect profiles and foundation proposals are written to match the organization’s voice and priorities. Research stays practical and actionable. Proposals remain clear, grounded, and focused on outcomes.

Strategy and Campaign Support

Capital and Growth Campaign Counsel

Strategy and counsel are available for capital campaigns, endowment efforts, and major growth initiatives. This includes feasibility guidance, case development support, timeline planning, and ongoing counsel through the quiet and public phases.

Case for Support Development

The core case for support is written and refined so it can underwrite major gifts, foundation work, and campaigns. A strong case creates clarity for donors and consistency across all fundraising materials.

Training and Leadership Support

On-Site Training and Board Engagement

Custom training is delivered for boards, leadership teams, and development staff. Topics often include foundation strategy, major gift cultivation, board roles in fundraising, and practical systems that improve results. Sessions are designed for the specific organization and delivered on site.

Executive Coaching for CEOs and C-Suite Leaders

One-on-one coaching is available for chief executives and senior leaders who want to strengthen their fundraising leadership, donor relationships, and board engagement. Coaching is confidential, practical, and focused on the leader’s real priorities.

Fractional Development Leadership‍ ‍

Organizations in transition or without a full-time senior development leader can receive part-time high-level strategy and oversight. This offering is selective and designed for groups that need experienced counsel without a full-time hire.
