The Wingo Intervention

Six months that will change your organization. Position yourself for growth today with Wingo NYC.

Work with Wingo’s team of seasoned fundraising, donor communication and design professionals to position yourself for growth, and maybe even much-needed change.

​

If you are a small organization with few or no fundraising staff, or a large organization looking to launch an individual or major donor fundraising program, the Wingo team can step in and work with your staff, board and donors to make this goal a reality. 

​

Our staff will take you through a 6-month program that will get your organization up to speed with best practices in fundraising; provide you with a beautiful new toolkit of case materials; give you the confidence and skills to tackle personal and organizational barriers to fundraising, including your board; and help you create and launch an individual giving and donor communication that’s right for your organization.

​
