In the words of...Pretend City

"RBSCo is exceptional at strategy, masters of educating Board members about how to raise funds, and second-to-none in motivating them to do so. Since they have become consul to our project we have raised more money in two years then we did in the previous six. They have helped us reposition our case for support, develop a presentation that concisely and dramatically tells our story, and create strategies which routinely elicit a desire (on the part of the prospect) to participate at a significant level."

- Pam Shambra, President
Pretend City, The Children's Museum of Orange County
 

Specialized Services

Non profits are confronting new realities as they work to meet their mission. New challenges in funding, interim funding or long term financing mean that executive directors are often required to venture into areas where they have little to no experience. Worse, their boards lack that same expertise. RBSCo has developed a new model of consulting to address a variety of these challenges:

Securing Bond Financing: Learn from non profit leaders who have used bonds and are eager to share from an insider's perspective what is required.

Bank Financing: Depending on your location, we can connect you to leaders in Compass Bank who have set a goal of working with non profits and stand ready to help your readiness to enter into a loan agreement.

Building and Renovating Facilities: One of our real estate experts can guide you in what to expect--from timing and cash flow to environmental nightmares.

Building an Effective Web: Five or fewer years ago a good web was a nice to have; today, it's a must have. Research has shown that an increasing number of well-to-do individuals are making "average gifts of between $9,000 and $12,000 annually to non profits. But they are a picky bunch and your web has to reflect their giving requirements. We know those requirements and can ensure that you will have a truly state-of-the-art site.

Constituent Relations: Don't waste money on traditional public relations. Learn how to target your messages and move people to act on behalf of your funding goals.
