Three Ways to Work with Harvey & Smith Impact
Meaningful work takes direction, strong relationships and the capacity to follow through. Sometimes your team needs a partner for a defined project. Sometimes it needs someone alongside it, helping carry the work forward.
Harvey & Smith Impact supports nonprofits and socially conscious businesses through three core offerings. Each brings experienced guidance together with practical implementation, shaped around your priorities and the support that would be useful to your team.
Nonprofit Fundraising: Move Your Mission Forward
Your organization has a mission worth investing in. Building support for it takes a compelling case, thoughtful cultivation and consistent attention to the people and institutions that can help advance it.
We provide fundraising strategy and hands-on support to cultivate major donors, pursue grants and strengthen funder relationships. That can mean sharpening your case for support, developing a focused prospect pipeline, preparing funding proposals or helping your team move donor conversations toward an ask.
Our major donor work connects people with the mission in meaningful ways. Carefully planned visits, program experiences and conversations with organizational leaders give prospective supporters a clearer understanding of what their investment could make possible. Individualized follow-up turns that experience into an ongoing relationship.
This offering is a good fit when you have a fundraising priority that needs experienced attention and practical support. We work alongside your staff and board to establish next steps and help put them into action.

Corporate Giving Strategy: Bring Your Commitments to Life
Many businesses already contribute generously to their communities. They support local organizations, sponsor events, encourage employee participation and respond when help is needed. Those commitments are an important part of how they do business.
We help companies give that work thoughtful structure and sustained attention. Together, we clarify giving priorities, deepen nonprofit partnerships and coordinate participation in ways that respect both the community’s needs and the company’s goals.
The work can include assessing existing commitments, developing a giving plan, identifying suitable partners and helping manage the details that keep a partnership moving. We also support communications that accurately reflect the contribution and its impact, with care for the people and organizations involved.
Strong partnerships can create value for everyone involved. Community organizations gain support they can use, while companies build relationships, engage their teams and express their values through action. We help define what success looks like and review the work against those shared priorities.
This offering is a good fit when your company wants experienced support for its giving and community relationships. We help carry the planning, coordination and follow-through.

Embedded Fundraising Leadership: Experienced Support Alongside Your Team
Some organizations need sustained fundraising leadership. A defined project or occasional advice may not provide enough capacity to build relationships, lead solicitations and manage the work week after week.
Our embedded fundraising leadership offering provides experienced, part-time support that works alongside your team. We help establish priorities, build and manage the donor pipeline, cultivate prospects, prepare and lead asks, and keep follow-up moving.
The role combines strategic judgment with hands-on delivery. We coordinate with staff, executive leadership and board members so that fundraising activity has clear ownership and next steps. We also strengthen the systems and practices that help your organization maintain continuity.
This offering is a good fit when you need ongoing fundraising leadership without making a full-time hire. It can support a leadership transition, provide additional capacity or help establish a more consistent development function.
