"Thread Strategies is the best "consulting" partner I have worked with. I put consulting in quotes because they don't operate like other consultants. We started working with them when our organisation did not have any fundraising staff. They were extremely hands-on and flexible and worked as a part of the team on whatever was the need of the hour -- grant writing, prospecting, or research. However, even with this flexibility, they have their goal really clear -- to build the capacity of the organisation. They helped me build a fundraising system and hire a full-time staff member so that a lot of the momentum we built together could be carried forward. They are now working with the new staff member to build their capacity even further. If you want a true fundraising partner that will set your organisation up for the future, work with Thread!"

"“Our work with Thread Strategies was more fruitful and fulfilling than we ever could have dreamed of. When we started our partnership, we had no development team and needed someone to simply keep the trains running. They did just that, hearing our needs, wishes, and wants and jumping right in to take our ideas further. Over the course of our time together, our needs and projects changed fast and furiously, and Thread was there with a smile and extraordinary contributions every single time - even though the work evolved beyond our original agreement. They worked unbelievably quickly, and with such high quality, in everything they delivered for us. I would work with them again in a heartbeat!”

"“Our organization started working with Thread when we didn't really have much of a development infrastructure in place. Fast forward five years - and we have rebranded (thanks to their guidance!) and have tripled in annual revenue. A lot of this is due in part to Thread's thorough development assessment that resulted in a development strategy that could be followed by our first dedicated development hire five years ago. As we've had some role turnover through the years, I've always turned to Loree and her team first to understand development hiring trends and seek support in securing our next strategic development hire. It feels like a partnership that has grown over the years - and I always feel supported by Loree and her team, no matter if we are engaged in a current project at the time or not. I would 100% recommend Thread for their high-quality services and the continuous support they provide!”

“Having already been a client of Thread once, they were my first call when I took on a new position leading a $2M nonprofit and needed a smart, fresh, and bold review of our fundraising operations. Thread did a deep dive analysis of our development program, interviewed key stakeholders, spent a lot of time with our team, and created a first-rate development strategy playbook. They also staffed the search for our new Director of Development and served as our interim development staff while we were between directors. With the help of their work and recommendations, our new donor acquisition was up over 700% in one year; overall individual giving rose 40% year over year; and we are in position to implement a new CRM that will integrate across all our organizational platforms. I cannot thank Thread enough!”
