Roost partners with organizations through ongoing engagements, typically six to twelve months or longer, providing a set number of hours each month that clients can flexibly use based on their evolving development priorities. Rather than providing recommendations from the sidelines, Roost works alongside leadership and development teams to develop strategies, execute priorities, build systems, and create the capacity needed for long-term fundraising success.

Every organization is unique, therefore, our partnership is tailored to your organization’s goals, needs, capacity, and priorities. Our partnership will evolve throughout the engagement as new opportunities emerge and organizational needs change. Some examples of things Roost might support include: 

Clients can engage Roost for specific projects offered at a flat rate rather than an hourly engagement. Projects have a defined scope, timeline, and deliverable. This is ideal for organizations that need focused support on a particular challenge without committing to an ongoing engagement.

Every organization has different needs, and project scope is tailored accordingly; these examples are not an exhaustive list of the ways Roost can support your organization. Some examples of things Roost might execute are:

Roost provides interim development leadership through a monthly retainer structured around the organization's needs, level of responsibility, and anticipated time commitment, continuing until permanent development leadership is in place. Roost can step into the development role to provide strategic direction, manage priorities, support staff and board leadership, maintain donor relationships, and oversee critical fundraising activities.
