Build revenue you control

Federal Funding Keeps Shrinking. Your Donor and Sponsor Revenue Does Not Have To.

Grants get frozen, cut, and delayed. The revenue you control, from individual donors and corporate sponsors, is where real stability comes from. But it runs on a lean team with no steady system, so opportunities slip away.

Before and After

Right Now, Opportunities Leak. With a System, They Convert.

Same stories, same effort. The difference is whether every step stays connected.

The Problem

Which of These Problems Feels Most Familiar?

When grants get less reliable, these gaps are what make them hard to replace. See which ones sound familiar.

1

Too much of our budget rides on government grants.

When a grant is delayed or cut, no donor or sponsor revenue is ready to take its place.

2

We tell powerful stories, but cannot connect them to revenue.

Your stories move people, but there is no clear path from a post or video to a specific gift.

3

We keep going back to the same donors.

With no system for finding new supporters, the same board members and email list carry the whole budget.

4

Our sponsorship deck keeps getting ignored.

A PDF cannot find prospects or restart a stalled conversation. Proposals go out and just sit.

5

We lose momentum after someone shows interest.

Someone donates or asks about sponsorship, then the thread goes cold because no one owns the next step.

6

Our team has no time to build another system.

You know a better process would help. There is just no one with the hours to build and run it.

A Quick Diagnostic

How Much Revenue Could Be Hiding Inside Your Current Marketing?

The questions we walk through in a Funding Growth Assessment.

1

If a major grant were frozen tomorrow, how fast could donations and sponsorships fill the gap?

2

How many people saw your last impact story but were never given a clear reason to give?

3

How many sponsor proposals went out with no real follow-up plan?

4

If your Development Director left tomorrow, could someone rebuild every active sponsor opportunity?

5

Can your team point to which story, ad, or campaign produced each donation?

6

How many interested partners never got the right next step?

7

What happens after someone watches a video or visits a campaign page?

The problem is rarely a lack of generosity or corporate interest. It is what happens between attention, action, and follow-up.

The Cost of the Gap

When the System Is Missing, the Mission Feels the Consequences

This is more than a marketing problem. When grants get shakier and this revenue slips too, the whole organization feels it.

Overdependence on grants

When too much of the budget rides on government funding, one frozen check can put programs at risk.

Too few supporters carry too much

The budget leans on the same small group, which is fragile if even one major giver steps back.

Sponsor relationships live in one person's head

When a key staff member is out or leaves, the sponsor relationships and history often leave with them.

More pressure on the annual gala

One big event has to make the year, so a rainy night or a slow room puts the whole budget at risk.

Proposals get inconsistent follow-up

Some prospects hear back in a day, others never hear back at all, and good opportunities quietly close.

Staff time lost to manual work

Hours disappear into spreadsheets, sticky notes, and reminder-chasing instead of real relationship building.

Leadership cannot see the return

Without clear reporting, leaders cannot tell which marketing produced revenue and which did not.

Fundable programs stay underfunded

Programs that donors and sponsors would gladly support never get presented as a clear opportunity.

Every missed donation, unanswered sponsor inquiry, and forgotten follow-up is a funding opportunity that may not come back.

A Better Way to Work

What Would Change If Every Story Had a Campaign Behind It?

Picture your development work running like this instead.

Spot the stories most likely to move people to act.
Turn one program need into a clear, tangible donor campaign.
Present that same impact as a strong corporate opportunity.
Reach new audiences beyond your current email list.
Give every donor and sponsor an obvious next step.
Know the moment someone donated, submitted an inquiry, booked a meeting, or received a proposal.
Follow up on time, every time, without relying on anyone's memory.
Show leadership which campaigns are actually producing revenue.
Meet FundingBoost

If These Problems Sound Familiar, FundingBoost Might Make Sense.

FundingBoost turns your impact stories into focused donor and sponsor campaigns, then runs the advertising, conversion, follow-up, and reporting behind them. So the revenue you control keeps growing.

Two Audiences

One Mission. Two Very Different Funding Decisions.

Individual donors and corporate sponsors decide in different ways. Using the same general message for both weakens your results. Each audience needs its own path.

Individual donors need
  • An emotional connection to the work
  • A tangible funding need they can picture
  • A simple, trustworthy donation experience
  • Confidence that their gift matters
  • Ongoing updates on the impact they created

Stop Asking the Same Donors to Carry the Entire Mission

The problem

Your budget may lean on the same email list, board members, and gala guests. With no system for finding new donors, the pool never grows, and grants cannot be your only backup.

The tangible askA $50 donation provides one job-coaching session for an adult with a disability.

Here is how FundingBoost helps you reach further.

  • Choose one specific funding opportunity to lead with.
  • Shape a tangible donor ask people can picture.
  • Create donor-focused stories and advertisements.
  • Launch and manage Meta donation campaigns.
  • Improve the donation experience on the campaign page.
  • Track completed donations back to the campaign.
  • Thank and nurture new donors.
  • Introduce recurring giving at the right moment.
  • Report cost per donor and campaign revenue.

Corporate Sponsors

A Sponsorship Deck Is Not a Sponsor Acquisition Strategy

The problem

A sponsorship PDF cannot find prospects, prove business value, qualify interest, or follow up. It is a document, not a system, so good programs go unsponsored while the deck sits in an inbox.

A sponsor-ready opportunityHelp fund the next workforce-development cohort while showing your company's commitment to inclusive employment.

Here is how FundingBoost builds a real sponsor pipeline.

  • Identify one sponsor-worthy program or event.
  • Develop the corporate value proposition.
  • Create sponsor-facing campaign messaging.
  • Launch Meta sponsor lead-generation campaigns.
  • Capture qualified inquiries through Instant Forms.
  • Schedule conversations on your calendar.
  • Organize opportunities inside a sponsor pipeline.
  • Trigger the right follow-up at the right time.
  • Track proposals and commitments.
  • Create renewal reminders so partnerships continue.

Results

A Powerful Campaign Does Not Require an Enormous Content Library

“A recent nonprofit campaign combined repurposed social content, an AI-assisted graphic, and a testimonial video. In under three months, it generated nearly $9,000 in tracked Donorbox donations.”

The organization already had meaningful stories. FundingBoost helped turn those stories into a focused, measurable campaign.

Results vary based on the organization, campaign, audience, creative, advertising budget, and follow-up.

The 90-Day Pilot

Start With the Revenue Problem Creating the Most Pressure

Every engagement begins with a focused 90-day pilot. You pick where to start, and we build and run that path end to end.

ADonor Growth

Reach beyond your current list and generate measurable individual donations.

BCorporate Sponsorship Growth

Turn valuable programs and events into a steady sponsor pipeline.

CBoth revenue paths

Build donor acquisition and sponsor acquisition together, with one connected system.

Focusing on one primary objective first keeps the campaign, the advertising budget, and your development team from getting scattered across too many goals at once.

Honest Fit

Is FundingBoost the Right Fit?

We would rather be honest about fit than sell the wrong engagement. FundingBoost is built for established nonprofits, roughly $750,000 to $10 million in annual revenue, with a lean development team and real programs to fund.

FundingBoost is a strong fit when you:

  • Raise roughly $750,000 to $10 million a year
  • Have a real program or campaign to fund
  • Can provide impact stories, a working donation page, and creative assets
  • Have a development lead who can act on new opportunities
  • Can commit a campaign budget plus advertising spend
  • Want measurable growth, not social engagement alone

FundingBoost is not the right fit when you:

  • Are in a cash crisis and need this month covered
  • Have nobody available to respond to opportunities
  • Have no clear program, audience, or case for support
  • Expect advertising to replace relationship building
  • Cannot commit a campaign budget plus ad spend right now
  • Want guaranteed revenue or to pay only on funds raised
Questions

Questions Nonprofit Leaders Ask Us

Is FundingBoost a donor database?
No. FundingBoost is not a donor database. We work alongside the database you already use and focus on campaigns, conversion, and follow-up.
Do we need to replace our current fundraising software?
No. We work with platforms like Donorbox, Givebutter, Bloomerang, Classy, and similar systems. We do not replace your donation processor, tax-receipt system, or database.
Can Meta ads generate donations?
Yes, when a specific, tangible ask is paired with a clear donation path and steady follow-up. We cannot promise a set amount, because results depend on your story, audience, budget, and creative.
Can Meta ads attract corporate sponsors?
Yes. We use lead-generation campaigns and Instant Forms to capture qualified inquiries, then qualify and route them into a sponsor pipeline with scheduled follow-up.
What does our staff need to provide?
Access to your stories and creative assets, a working donation page, and a staff member who can respond to real opportunities. We handle the strategy, building, and campaign management.
How much advertising budget do we need?
Budgets vary by goal and market. We help you set a sensible starting budget during the assessment. Advertising spend is separate from the pilot fee and is paid to the ad platform.
How quickly can a campaign launch?
Most pilots move from kickoff to a live campaign within a few weeks, depending on your assets, approvals, and integration needs.
Are donations or sponsorships guaranteed?
No. We do not guarantee donations, sponsor leads, or revenue. We build and run a focused, measurable system and report honestly on what it produces.
What happens after the 90-day pilot?
You review the results together with us. From there you can continue, expand into a second revenue path, or pause. There is no requirement to continue.
Is FundingBoost appropriate for a small nonprofit?
Often, yes. The best fit is a lean team with real programs, a working donation page, and the ability to invest in a managed campaign and advertising. Size matters less than readiness.
