Fundraising Strategy Review

The funds raised by Sambhali U.S. are changing the lives of women and girls in Rajasthan, India. Born with almost no control over how—or with whom—they live their lives, they are finding ways to leap over barriers based on class, caste, and gender through the programs of the grassroots Indian organization Sambhali Trust. Our development team is proud to know the difference each dollar raised will make and honored to tell the stories of the women and girls of Sambhali.

As Sambhali U.S. enters its eighth year as a nonprofit, we are seeking a fresh, external review of our current fundraising strategies to identify opportunities for growth. We want an objective appraisal of what is working, where there are gaps, and where we can expand or refine our approach going into 2027. This would ideally be an overall appraisal but could also be focused on one or more fundraising streams.

We are seeking to work with a seasoned development professional (or team of professionals) who can assess our current individual, foundation, corporate, and community-based fundraising strategies and apply experience and creativity for recommendations on moving forward.

The volunteer will deliver an actionable fundraising strategy for 2027 with recommendations on how to best deploy our resources (both financial and volunteer) to increase donations in the short and long term. The plan will review our current fundraising activities, identify growth opportunities, and recommend concrete strategic priorities and approaches for donor cultivation, diversification, and revenue growth in 2027.

If a potential volunteer has focused expertise in one area of fundraising we would also be interested in an assessment and strategy that is limited to that area (e.g., individual, corporate, foundation).
