Our global perspective gives us a unique ability to help you build an outstanding strategic plan and help you execute it.
From organizational structure, budgeting, or fundraising, strategic planning is critical for the long term success of any organization. Whether you're forming a new organization, expanding into new markets, or transforming to meet the needs of the future, our strategy will guides you to success.
There is a real difference between a good plan and a well executed strategy - and the proof will always be measurable. We'll help you measure our successes together.
It all starts with inspiring content. You have a vision that is worth working for, volunteering with, and donating to. Powerful, persuasive content is how you convey that vision.
We'll help you identify the key messages that will most resonate with people, and the voice to deliver it. Then we'll measure the results and optimize delivery to produce maximum results.
We create everything from social media, newsletters, training material, professional illustration, animation, design, or quality video that will serve to inspire people to take action.
Having more money isn't the always end goal, but it absolutely will make your work easier.
PhoenixFire helps you maximize and differentiate your revenue streams so that you're less dependent on any one source.
This includes grants, major giving, social media, B2C or B2B sales, capital campaigns, recurring giving, and other funding channels.
We offer a range of services from leading large-scale campaigns to grant writing or bulk processing of donor or grant prospects.
You just tell us what you need, and we'll get it for you.
To succeed you must be - and remain - different and better. PhoenixFire will continuously and aggressively drive innovation so you stay competitive.
We're integrating advanced technological platforms, including Artificial Intelligence, into everything we do. To us, AI isn't a trending hashtag or gimmick. We were early adopters and are expert users of AI and we'll share all of the wisdom we've gained and our best practices in this area with you.
We won't just help you manage change in the future. We'll help you create it.

TESTIMONIALS
"I would describe Lee as a servant leader who leads by example and is willing to do every task needed to get the job done. One of the most impressive skills I've seen Lee demonstrate is his capacity to help team members understand how important they are, and that only when all of us do our part we can achieve our goals. He provides meaningful communication to keep everyone accountable in a masterful and positive way that keeps people engaged and motivated. I give Lee my highest recommendation!"

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Why work with a consultant?Working with a professional consultancy gives you access to a depth of knowledge and experience from organizations of varying sizes and across industries. That’s especially valuable when your organization lacks in-house expertise in a certain area or if your internal team has limited time or resources. You can access all of our experience and ability to produce results without many of the costs associated with hiring employees (taxes, insurance, benefits, etc.) or the extended time required to train them. We also help identify and mitigate risks. Our expertise enables us to foresee potential pitfalls and advise on the best course of action, thereby reducing the likelihood of costly delays or mistakes. By working with our talented team, you don't pay for the high overhead of old-school, bloated, brick and mortar firms. That ultimately saves you both time and money. You're paying for our results, not our rent.

Why are you a good fit for us?We're true partners with our clients. That's why we invest time getting to know you and truly understanding your strengths and opportunities. We don’t offer a one-size-fits-all approach; we tailor our strategies and solutions to meet the unique needs and goals of your organization. This customization ensures that the solutions are not only effective but also aligned with your company’s culture and values. We see things as they could be and are successful at challenging the status quo to help you achieve that vision. We're able to interpret the stories that data tell us and turn that into wisdom. We're also committed to honestly and respectfully having crucial conversations. Our team offers a diverse skillset and real-world, operational experience that is not typical in a consulting firm of any size. We don't do just one thing, because you don't do just one thing. In 2023 alone our team took on projects in more than 50 different categories, including financial forecasting, business valuation, contract negotiation, illustration, Board governance, executive coaching, and of course, strategic planning. We've led successful capital campaigns, established grant award programs, and built and executed year-long social media strategies. Our team created systems and development efforts to raise over $120 million in our careers. We're also on the leading edge as we integrate Artificial Intelligence and other technological platforms in everything we do. We can help you in every aspect of your operations. From conceiving growth strategies to actually using the tools, our experience isn't conceptual - we actually do the work.
