Stronger Fundraising.
Sustainable Impact.
Your mission deserves a funding strategy that supports growth, stability, and long-term change. We help nonprofits strengthen their fundraising approach so resources never become a barrier to the work.
How we help nonprofits succeed.
You know the work your organization does changes lives. Sustaining that work, however, requires a funding approach that can adapt to shifting priorities, donor behavior, and long-term goals.
At Harvey & Smith Impact, we support nonprofits in strengthening their fundraising strategy, diversifying revenue, and building financial models that support consistency and growth. Whether you are addressing an immediate challenge or planning for the future, our advising work is designed to help your organization make informed decisions and move forward with clarity.
A Smarter Approach to Funding
Many nonprofits depend heavily on a single funding source, often grants, which can limit flexibility over time. We help organizations take a more holistic approach to funding by integrating multiple revenue streams, including individual giving, corporate partnerships, and earned income where appropriate. This diversified approach supports financial resilience, adaptability, and long-term stability without sacrificing mission alignment.
Emergency Funding & Crisis Support
When organizations face sudden funding challenges, timely and coordinated action matters. We support nonprofits in navigating short-term funding needs through focused donor outreach, emergency grant strategy, and bridge funding approaches, while keeping an eye on longer-term stability. Our goal is not just to address the immediate moment, but to help organizations strengthen systems and planning so future disruptions are easier to manage.
Corporate Sponsorships & Private Sector Partnerships
We help nonprofits identify and build relationships with private sector partners whose values align with their mission. Our work focuses on developing sponsorship and partnership models that are structured, realistic, and mutually beneficial, rather than one-off contributions. When done well, these relationships can provide reliable funding, increased visibility, and opportunities for deeper community engagement.
Beyond Grants: Alternative Revenue Strategies
For some organizations, earned income can provide a more predictable source of unrestricted support. We work with nonprofits to assess and develop revenue options such as fee-for-service programs, memberships, or mission-aligned enterprise activities where appropriate. The focus is on feasibility, alignment, and sustainability, ensuring any new revenue approach supports the mission rather than distracting from it.
Strengthening Board & Leadership Engagement
An engaged board and leadership team play an important role in long-term financial health. We support organizations in clarifying board roles, strengthening fundraising participation, and aligning governance with financial strategy. Through facilitated conversations, targeted training, and practical tools, we help leadership teams build confidence and shared responsibility around fundraising and sustainability.
Example: Navigating a Funding Disruption
A food security nonprofit in New York experienced a significant funding disruption after a multi-year grant was unexpectedly reduced. With programs at risk, the organization needed both short-term stabilization and a clearer long-term funding strategy.
We supported the organization in identifying bridge funding, developing new private sector partnerships, and introducing a modest membership-based revenue stream. Over the following year, the organization strengthened donor engagement and reduced reliance on any single funding source. As a result, they emerged with a more diversified funding model and a clearer plan for long-term financial stability.
Project-Based Support, When You Need It
Not every organization needs an ongoing partnership. Sometimes you need focused support to move a specific project forward.
Our project-based services are designed for nonprofits that want expert input without a long-term commitment. Choose a service, complete a short intake form, and we’ll take it from there. Each project is delivered on a clear timeline, aligned with your goals, and ready to use.
This option works well for teams needing targeted help alongside internal capacity or existing fundraising efforts.
