Institutional advancement formulates a vision and engages potential donors in the excitement of seeing that vision realized. While feasibility studies evaluate the potential donor pool and the resources that might be tapped, it is equally important for an organization to take a hard look at the financial underpinnings of its vision and the soundness of its strategy.

The Role of Allen Proctor Consulting
As Allen Proctor Consulting works with organizations to evaluate financial condition, identify options and strategies, and build reporting and decision-making structures, it cannot and should not take the place of an engaged board or full-time financial staff. Rather, Allen Proctor Consulting provides the strategy for a sustainable financial future, readies the board and management to undertake the strategy, and "coaches" those responsible for implementing the strategy. The ultimate success of any financial strategy will depend upon effective communication of the goals and justification for your strategy with donors, staff, clients and patrons, and especially the media.
