Services

 

C-LEVEL EXECUTIVE SEARCH

Through The Yunker Group’s executive search service, you can be assured that only highly-qualified and vetted professionals will be presented to you. Our service includes a targeted 23-step process from preparing the job description to providing media guidance in announcing the new leader. To capitalize on our fundraising and leadership development expertise, we conduct searches only for Chief Executive Officers, Chief Financial Officers and Chief Development Officers.

 

FRIENDRAISING AND FUNDRAISING COUNSEL

For capital and endowment campaigns, The Yunker Group offers discovery or test marketing pre-campaign planning to determine the most effective strategy and achievable goals prior to a campaign launch. The Yunker Group consultants will guide your development staff and volunteers each step of the way through planning and implementation of a campaign. Our staff provides counsel for campaign management, donor research, and writing and design of campaign materials.

 

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

An organization is only as strong as its leaders. The Yunker Group helps board members understand and accept the vital role they play in keeping your organization financially strong and programmatically sound. Call upon The Yunker Group to strengthen your leadership by providing volunteer coaching, board retreat facilitation, and leadership recruitment.

VOLUNTEER COACHING

To help your board members perform more effectively, The Yunker Group offers coaching that encourages and builds confidence. It is common for volunteers to feel uncomfortable about asking for gifts; however, with proper coaching, they can learn to approach the fundraising challenge with an optimistic outlook that achieves positive results.

 

COFFEE COUNSEL®

Wondering how to diplomatically and tactfully handle a challenging volunteer or staff situation? Thinking how you might prepare for a special gifts initiative or capital campaign? Stymied about how to strengthen your board leadership team? Need someone from the “outside” to encourage your board to get more involved in friendraising and fundraising? Want to just bounce an idea or two off an objective third-party who doesn’t have an ax to grind? If you answered “YES,” consider CoffeeCounsel® — a no-obligation, no-fee session with a seasoned Yunker Group member to discuss organizational and fundraising issues. The perspective of an objective third-party can be helpful, even if it’s just “over coffee.” Send a message in “Contact Us” to schedule your CoffeeCounsel® session
