How We Work - Heller Consulting

"Heller Consulting not only understands the ins and outs of Raiser's Edge® software and the business of fundraising, they know how nonprofits work. I got useful tips and information I could use right away as well as ideas on longer term issues and trends facing organizations which rely on fundraising for support."

How We Work

When you contact us, our first step to is make sure that what we offer will meet the needs that have prompted you to call. We want to understand your organization's issues and aspirations to ensure that our services will meet your goals.

If there's a fit, we'll have further discussions to determine what services might deliver the solutions you need. We may suggest a system assessment, or we may suggest some specific services. These discussions will help us provide you with a clear proposal that fits your objectives, timeline and financial resources.

Once we deliver a proposal, we'll be available to answer any questions or further refine the proposal to meet your needs. You'll find that we give you the space, time and support to make the decision that meets your needs – not ours.

Because we believe in building long-term relationships with our clients you'll never be subject to high-pressure sales tactics. We've been here for ten years and we intend to be here for many more. We want to work with you and we want you to feel that, at every step in the process.

Some of the key changes you can expect after working with us:

  • A clean database with well-organized codes to support easier self-serve, one-touch querying and reporting.
  • Clear and simple documentation to ensure that everyone uses the system in the same way, today and in the future.
  • A portfolio of outputs -- queries, reports, letters and exports -- that are easy to run and that provide a clear picture of your fundraising efforts and results.
  • Training for yourself and colleagues that increases your skills and confidence, teaches you exactly what you need to know and that stays with you for the long-term.
  • The confidence that you're using Raiser's Edge® in the best way for your particular organization.
  • A partnership. We're dedicated to helping you make the most of this powerful system, now and as your fundraising strategies evolve over the years.
