Do you want to get big gifts?
Valerie M. Jones Associates (VMJA) can teach you how. I can find new donors, write your grants, grow your board, lead your retreat and develop your elegantly simple strategic plan.
Other firms offer similar services. It’s not what I do. It’s how I do it that sets me apart.
VMJA is boutique, not retail. I choose my clients as carefully as they choose me. I invest my talent with smart, dynamic nonprofits that face change fearlessly. VMJA remains a resource for years to come.
Experience
Certified Fund Raising Executive
I’ve spent more than 25 years helping my nonprofit clients secure major gifts, launch capital campaigns, and plan their futures. I have coached highly respected board and staff leaders. But I also love the nitty-gritty of fundraising, from prospect research to writing successful grant proposals and appeals. Using my Nonprofit Hero method, I have taught thousands of volunteers and professionals to ask for gifts in ways that are authentic and comfortable, inspired and successful.
