NEVER STRESS OVER FUNDRAISING AGAIN
Partner with Verge to experience an elite level of all inclusive fundraising management for your organization.
STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT
Expert Strategic Support from Executives with Decades of Experience.
Your Very Own Dedicated Fundraising Executive
Your organization will receive a fully dedicated “Fundraising Director” for your team, hand selected from our network of vetted and experienced fundraising executives.
Full Annual Strategic Fundraising Development
Our executives have decades of organizational fundraising experience. VF+ allows you to leverage that experience to develop an annual strategic plan that is customized for your organization’s goals. Once developed, we collaborate with you to execute that plan, leading to exponential growth in your giving results.
Collaboration with Your Existing Systems
We’ll guide you through an initial consultation process that’s built to discover how we can complement the productive fundraising practices you already have in place, and then build from there. If you have some seasonal fundraising campaigns or software that’s already giving your group great results, we will implement them into your complete strategy; taking what’s already working and filling in the gaps to develop your fundraising toward new heights you didn’t even realize were possible.
DONOR CARE
Elite Donor Recruitment, Management, and Appreciation Built to Mimic A Full-Time Fundraising Director
Grant Writing - Done for You
Grants are one of the largest missed opportunities when it comes to small & mid-sized non-profits. We’ll work with your leadership to identify desired grant opportunities and then utilize our network of fundraising professionals to take care of the time-intensive work of grant writing and application submission.
Turn One-Time Gifts to Loyal Monthly Supporters
What if every seasonal fundraising campaign your group executed yielded several valuable monthly supporters for your group that lasted years? Imagine the fundraising growth you could experience if your group had thousands of dollars in monthly gifts on top of your seasonal fundraising. Your VF+ dedicated executive will represent your group with excellence and care, relationally connecting with your donors to work a strategic plan that gently seeks to move them from one time gifts to committing to monthly giving. With VF+, Verge Fundraising will manage all financial transactions for recurring support and work to grow your monthly support year over year. We handle the systems, you just watch the results grow.
Sponsorship Recruitment
Local businesses love to support groups like yours, especially when there is a marketing opportunity for them that is connected to their gift. Sometimes it’s just difficult to find time to search them out and develop those relationships. With VF+, your fundraising executive will help you refine your sponsorship program or develop a new one from scratch. We’ll then reach out to local businesses on your behalf to invite them to partner with your organization, including them in your broader fundraising strategy while taking care of all of the logistics of their sponsorship for you. You lead your group, we take care of the sponsorships.
Ongoing Donor Nurturing to Keep Your Supporters
You’d be surprised by how fast your annual fundraising results grow simply by caring for your supporters. We know you care about your supporters, but it takes a lot of work to make sure they feel that care when you have so many other tasks to accomplish as the leader of your organization. With VF+, we’ll help you develop an attainable plan to make sure your donors feel appreciated for their giving, feel connected to your group’s story, and stay inspired to keep supporting your mission.
TAKE THE NEXT STEP
MARKETING EXECUTION

Easy to Execute Direct Marketing Strategies

Your VF+ executive has years of experience in this space and will help you develop an easy-to-execute marketing strategy that will accomplish three vital goals: invite outsiders to your organization’s brand, connect them to your story, and engage them with your mission as loyal supporters.
Donor Management & Marketing Systems - All Included

Text & E-Mail Campaigns to Keep Your Donors Connected
When you partner with Verge Fundraising with a VF+ membership, you unlock powerful marketing automations that will generate higher giving over time. We combine your existing contacts and donor base with the information of every donor who has ever given to one of your Verge Fundraising campaigns and plug them into an ongoing text and email marketing strategy that keep’s your group’s story on the forefront of their mind. Your VF+ executive will help you creatively plan to connect with your donors in meaningful ways that only you can provide, ensuring your connections with your donors are authentic and personable even while you outsource the workload to us.
TAX COMPLIANCE ASSISTANCE

Donor Record Stewardship
Your VF+ membership comes with a new Donor Management System that your dedicate fundraising executive will leverage to ensure best practices are being followed in protecting and properly organizing donor contact information.
