Healthcare Fundraising Consulting to Power Your Campaigns
The healthcare industry is in a turbulent time marked by high costs, a declining workforce, decreasing margins, pandemics, health inequities, and increasingly complex health needs. Developing a comprehensive strategy to grow fundraising in this environment is more critical than ever.
That’s where we come in. BWF has long been a trusted partner to children’s hospitals, academic medical centers, health systems, and other healthcare organizations because we understand how complex fundraising is for these institutions and the pressing need to create more equitable access to quality healthcare.
Our Consultants are Focused on Your Healthcare Fundraising Success
In a post-COVID-19 world, fundraising has entered a demanding time of increased competition, higher expectations, major gifts, rising goals, and decreasing donors. BWF has 40 years of experience working with healthcare institutions and their development teams on initiatives such as:
- Grateful patient programs
- Fundraising campaigns
- Major gift strategies
- CRM implementations
- Facilitated access programs
- Data science
- Prospect research
Our consultants bring years of experience to their work in healthcare philanthropy. Many of our team members are former heads of development themselves, meaning they know the challenges and opportunities in today’s healthcare fundraising landscape. Plus, they attend professional healthcare conferences and have a presence with AHP, AAMC, NACCDO, and Woodmark Group, all of which ensure they stay up-to-date and engaged with healthcare fundraising.
