- Leadership . . . Visibility . . . Donors
- Biondolillo Associates is the firm responsible for the dramatic growth and popularity of walkathons and other pledge-based fundraisers throughout the nation. Through these and other branded events, we’ve helped nonprofit organizations acquire hundreds of thousands of caring donors and raise hundreds of millions of dollars for their causes. But most importantly, we’ve helped propel the entire special-event fundraising industry to new heights.
- Did you know that many nonprofit executives once viewed special events as extremely weak development vehicles? But that was before Biondolillo Associates coined the term "signature event," and proved that an innovative and mission-rich program could serve as an organization’s lead development vehicle.
- How? By developing "properties" that successfully integrate multiple marketing, fundraising and programmatic objectives, including leadership positioning and cut-through-the-clutter visibility, donor acquisition and cultivation, corporate and media sponsorship, government relations and advocacy, and community relations and volunteer recruitment. In a nutshell, we develop unsurpassed leadership vehicles capable of mobilizing vast resources.
- And the great news is that we can do the same for your organization, because there is nothing accidental about our accomplishments. They are all the result of mixing a lot of brains and creative capability with a little heart and soul. And, yes, an unsurpassed track record in making a difference.
NEW and NOTEWORTHY
Biondolillo Associates was recently invited by The David and Lucile Packard Foundation to tackle one of the nation's largest-ever grassroots fundraising strategy assignments. The challenge: how to raise the $100 million private-sector "match" to fund universal after-school childcare in the state of California. The solution: Biondolillo conceived the Leadership Development Corps (LDC), the nation's first service corps dedicated to resource development. The LDC will provide a highly-practical experience in both pledge-based and major-donor fundraising that will prepare college graduates to move along many career paths—particularly in the nonprofit sector—while providing badly-needed resources for high-quality after-school programming.
Also, the Biondolillo-developed Making Strides Against Breast Cancer program has broken the $300 million mark! For details, go to Pledge-based Fundraising.
