The Reality: Sometimes you inherit a fully-built fundraising program. Sometimes you get handed a mission, no budget, and a “figure it out” attitude. Power to Decide was the latter.
What We Actually Did: Built their first individual giving program from the ground up. No fancy agency, no massive budget—just smart strategy, relentless testing, and the kind of creative problem-solving that comes from necessity.
The Numbers (Small but Mighty):
- Facilitated their largest individual gift exceeding $1 million (sometimes it just takes one)
- Built complete digital infrastructure from foundation to finish line
- Created sustainable revenue streams that outlasted my time there
The Real Win: Proved that you don’t need a seven-figure budget to build something that works. You need strategy, persistence, and the willingness to start where you are.
What This Means for You: If you’re starting from scratch or feeling like your resources are too small to matter, we’ve been exactly where you are. And we know how to build something real from there.
