Caribbean. We are proud to have served over 200 clients over the years. To view the scope of clients go to the
Clients page.
Our website provides you

Our main office is in

Atlanta, Boston and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Donovan Management
specializes in major gift fund raising. We research major gift
prospects for clients to better prepare their organizations for major,
capital and endowment campaigns. Secondly, we assess the client’s
readiness to conduct a major gift campaign and lay out the plan.
Since 2002 we have researched and profiled over 1,000,000 potential donors
through our
ezScreen research service. Today
we can provide clients with customized
Advanced Prospect Research Services that go further in-depth for
those top prospects needed to floor the campaign.
The third step in our major
gift service is training of volunteers. Our book:
“Take The Fear Out of Asking for Major Gifts”
is used by thousands of nonprofits in their fund raising campaigns.
The revised and updated
edition will be released in early 2008.
We
train volunteers and staff on how to ask for major gifts based on the
principles in this publication. This training is done not only for our
own clients but for clients of other consulting firms around the country
who believe in the importance of properly preparing volunteers on how to
solicit major gifts.
As consultants and career
professionals, we have planned and guided numerous volunteer driven
major gift campaigns in the past twenty years resulting in over a
billion dollars.
In addition, we solve
fundamental organizational challenges by conducing assessments, fund
raising feasibility studies and conducting board retreats. As
consultants we provide three basic functions that clients cannot perform
themselves.
-
Independent and
objective assessment, study and analysis of an organization’s
status.
-
Outside influence for
making organizational change.
-
Outside motivation of
staff and board to exceed their goals.
Donovan Management
employs a five step process in carrying out these functions:
-
Identification of key
organizational issues.
-
Defining the problem
facing the organization.
-
Devising strategies and
solutions to solve the problem.
-
Recommending a
comprehensive plan of action.
-
Implementing the plan
of action by augmenting and mentoring of existing client staff with
DMI Consultants throughout the engagement period.
We’re a small firm that
contracts with less than a dozen clients each year. We keep our overhead
down by using contract consultants that are the best in their field
–prospect research, communication, major/capital campaign management,
strategic planning and leadership development. Clients benefit
from our flexibility, highly personalized service, as well as constant
and easy access to the firm’s principal and associates in-person, by
telephone or online.
Donovan Management
is proud to be a member of the
Association of Fundraising Professionals
and the
Association of Professional Researchers for Advancement
and adheres to the code-of-ethics of both organizations.
