Dear Client,

Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to serve you and your
organization with my consulting services. It’s my pleasure to help you
create systems, processes, and tools to enable your organization to raise
more money!

If you have enjoyed working with me, and feel that others would benefit
from my services, I invite you to share information with them about my
work. I would appreciate direct introductions by email if you are willing.
Or, if you simply want to share the attached PDF of my resume, bio, and
client success stories, that would be great! If you make a direct
introduction, it will make it easier for me to thank you for any resulting
work.

To reward you for spreading the word, I am offering a special incentive.

For every new contract I sign with a client you refer, I will make a
donation of up to 5% of the contract total to your organization! Every
time I gain a new client from your referrals, I will share the wealth back
with you and your organization.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to work with you, your staff, your
funders, and your organization. I’m thrilled to help great organizations
secure the funding they need to do good work in the world!

Sincerely,

Holly Million

Have a project that needs to be done
professionally, on time and under budget?

That’s what I do. I am “The Super Producer.”

My services support fundraising, films, events, publications, and

organizations.

I have 25 years’ experience in management and fundraising for

organizations, films, and events. In addition to securing funding for “A
Story of Healing,” which won a 1997 Academy Award, I have raised money
for or consulted on fundraising campaigns for documentary and dramatic
films that have aired on PBS, HBO, and other broadcast outlets. I am a
skilled producer and can handle all the business, fundraising, and logistical
aspects of taking a film from concept through completion.

I also have 25 years’ experience in the nonprofit sector. I have been a

consultant, director of development, executive director, and board
member for scores of nonprofits, and I have raised millions of dollars for
various nonprofits in different industries. I have helped form three
nonprofit organizations. I have formed four LLCs. I can consult on
nonprofit management issues, how to form a nonprofit, staffing, board
development and training, mission and vision development, and strategic
planning. I have been producing events of all kinds since 1993, from
intimate ones for 30 people to barnburners for up to 3,000, including
securing corporate sponsorships.

I have two decades’ experience creating communications tools including

newsletters, books, blogs, and social media campaigns.
I have an MA in Education from Stanford University and a BA in English
from Harvard University.

ASSESSMENT
I determine what you have to work with. I request documents and information I need to
see where you are starting and what can be brought into the process. I speak to the key
players involved with your organization to ascertain what they know. I evaluate what I
can bring into the process through my knowledge, experience, and contacts. I research
the big ideas that are unique to this opportunity. Exploring the big ideas will require
conversations with people in my network, contact with new sources of information, and
conversations with you and your network. During the assessment, I begin to look at
specific funding opportunities, including foundations, sponsors, individuals, government,
venture philanthropy, and earned income. At the end of my assessment, I present a
formal report to you outlining options I think would serve your goals best. The
assessment determines whether any structures or systems need to be created to
support your longer-term goals.

FUNDRAISING PLAN
I write customized fundraising plans which are focused on creating a campaign designed
to bring in individual and institutional funds and to serve as the basis for future
campaigns. The plan will includes the strategy, objectives, and dollar goal for each phase
of the campaign, likely suspects for a lead gift/grant, any special opportunities from the
list of big ideas, a timeline, a plan for forming a campaign committee, a suggested name
for the campaign, an outline of needs for communication, a budget, a plan for creating
tools and infrastructure, and a list of needed personnel. The plan can also identify
sponsorship, foundation, and any government avenues for funding, etc. We have the
option at this stage to focus on securing seed money, which will support my ongoing
work with you and lay the groundwork for the additional fundraising ahead.

PROSPECT TABLE / DONOR GIFT TABLE

I create a prospect spreadsheet for major individual prospects, foundations, government
funders, and/or corporate sponsors. The prospect table includes leads collected from
within your organization and also leads I research. We draw from the prospect
spreadsheet to create a formal donor gift table to ensure we have enough “asks” to
reach the campaign goal. The donor gift table specifies the amount for each request,
cultivation steps, and owner of each relationship.
CAMPAIGN COMMUNICATIONS
I can create a written case statement, message points, and donor pitch language to
support fundraising. These tools are often designed around the needs of a campaign
specifically. I can provide graphic design services to support the professional look of the
campaign materials and communications.

CAMPAIGN MANAGEMENT
If you like, I can directly manage a specific fundraising campaign or other fundraising
activities. I work with you to secure a lead gift/grant, organize the campaign committee,
oversee the launch, manage the donor gift table, oversee cultivation and solicitation of
gifts, work with you on major solicitations, manage communications and data
management, and oversee any crowd-funding campaign.

DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT ON DEMAND (3-D)

Don’t have a development staff? Not ready to hire a staff? Through this service, I provide
a fully loaded and staffed virtual development department to organizations that do not
have one and that don’t want to commit the resources to hire full-time staff. This service
is an excellent bridging tool for organizations that have other revenue streams but are
just starting to implement individual-giving programs.

The team can be configured any number of ways. I estimate my hours and the team’s
combined hours to give you a quote. You have the option to put 3-D on a monthly
retainer to keep costs predictable.

TRAININGS AND WEBINARS

I design and lead board fundraising trainings, which can happen in person or by webinar.
I also provide general fundraising trainings for staff and board. Ask me about my existing
webinars or let's discuss a customized webinar for your needs.

FUNDRAISING COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES

I can create communications for a campaign or a fundraising program. I can consult on
how to improve your website to serve your fundraising better, create talking points to
help board and staff when they are conversing with funders about your organization. I
can tease out the big ideas and high-concept themes from your organization’s work. I
can lead a process to identify these core ideas and organize them into a written
communications plan. I can also consult on how to create a story bank of real, human
stories from within the organization to put a human face on its work. I can also advise
about how organizations can use video and images to have more impact in their
outreach and fundraising.

Multi-year and customized programs available upon consultation.
