Equip your nonprofit with the tools and strategies to secure more funding. Does your organization’s grantseeking come up short on compelling stories, leveraging data, or clearly sharing what makes your work stand out?

Our Grant Readiness session helps you identify your organization’s strengths and opportunities through a seven-step framework that assesses: 

• Logic Model Clarity: Ensure your logic model is aligned with your goals. (Don’t have one? We’ve got a workshop for that, too.)  

• Quantitative Data Use: Leverage data to strengthen your proposals. 

• Compelling Stories: Incorporate powerful narratives that demonstrate impact and put the “people” in your proposal. 

• Network Value: Communicate the strength of your connections and partnerships. 

• Fundable Need: Articulate what makes your organization’s work critical. 

• Value Proposition: Define the unique difference you make. 

• Reporting Capabilities: Show how you deliver results to funders.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Grant Readiness Workshop: A hands-on session tailored to your organization. 

• Federal Grant Readiness Workshop: Strategies for navigating complex federal funding. 

• Implementation Support: We’ll work with you to improve your organization overall grant readiness, working with your team to improve the key areas of growth identified during the training and facilitation process.

Build stronger relationships with your donors by understanding their journey. Do you struggle to turn supporters into donors? Once they do give, do they fail to give again?

This workshop reckons with these and other challenges by walking through the five key stages of a donor’s relationship with your organization across two phases: 

Acquisition: 

• Awareness: How do donors discover you? 

• Consideration: How do you assure them you’re the right fit for their giving? 

• Decision: How simple and compelling is your giving process? 

Retention: 

• Trial: How do you welcome and integrate new donors? 

• Bond: How do you cultivate champions who advocate for your cause? 

AmplifyDMC will work with you to identify gaps in your donor engagement process, ensuring your supporters move seamlessly from awareness to sustained giving and advocacy. 

What We Offer

• Donor Journey Workshop: Map the journey and identify gaps in your donor pipeline 

• Insights and actionable recommendations for optimizing donor relationships. 

• What’s next? Implementation Support: Practical guidance and project management to improve donor retention strategies and increase giving.

Transform your board or staff retreat into an engaging, productive, and memorable event that builds rapport.

Does your staff seem to lack cohesion and a collaborative culture? Do you have a hard time getting your board to engage during (and after) meetings? Planning retreats can feel daunting or tedious, but AmplifyDMC’s facilitation can make them energetic and powerful, helping you rewrite entrenched dynamics.  

What We Offer

• Pre-Retreat Engagement: Gather input from stakeholders to shape objectives. 

• Session Planning: Design a retreat that includes team-building exercises, engaging activities, and clear goals. 

• Facilitation: Deliver a highly interactive and inclusive session in collaboration with your board chair or executive director. 

• Post-Retreat Debrief: Summarize outcomes and set up a roadmap for next steps. 

• What’s next? Practical implementation: We support your organization post-retreat to ensure your plans move forward and goals are met. 

Losing out on funding because your impact isn’t coming through in grant proposals?

How We Can Help

AmplifyDMC has a framework for that. Our “Storytelling for Impact” workshop helps you frame your programs clearly and persuasively, using both quantitative and qualitative data to communicate powerful outcomes. The interactive exercise is also a chance to bring program staff into the conversation.  

We engage the right people at the right time. AmplifyDMC will work with you to bring in others from your team—like program or finance staff—to strengthen your proposals through data, participant quotes, clearer budgets, and more.

Turn your organization’s vision into a clear and compelling story. Does your existing logic model fail to connect the dots and lead to strategic action (or maybe you don’t have a logic model at all)?

A well-crafted logic model isn’t just an academic tool—it’s a powerful way to articulate how your work creates meaningful change in your community.  

What We Offer

• Logic Model Development: A collaborative, team-informed process to connect your inputs, outputs, outcomes, and long-term impact. 

• Impact Narrative Workshop: Align teams around shared goals while creating a model that supports program design and external communication.

• What’s next? Implementation Support: We’ll offer hands-on support to help you embed your new logic model into grant proposals, program designs, communications, and more.

Harness the power of storytelling to celebrate your impact and inspire action. Humans are natural storytellers, but many nonprofits struggle to effectively collect, manage, and share the powerful stories happening in their organizations. Our Storytelling service addresses this gap. 

What We Offer

• Storytelling Workshop: Learn how to cultivate a “culture of storytelling” and use a proven framework to craft compelling narratives. Practice telling real stories from your work to bring your mission to life. 

• Culture of Storytelling Support: Diagnose and implement systems to identify, collect, store, and share stories effectively. 

• Implementation Support: Help embed storytelling practices into everyday operations, marketing, and donor relations. 

Turn complexity into clarity, action, and a real plan. Does your strategic plan seem powerful in the moment--but then mainly sit on a shelf? Was your last plan “top heavy,” failing to draw on input from all corners of the organization? Creating an effective strategy, touching on every part of your organization, can feel overwhelming .

Our structured, human-centered, outcomes-focused process ensures your team has the tools and direction to confidently chart a path forward. 

What We Offer

1. Comprehensive Strategic Planning Workshops: Engage your team and key stakeholders in a guided process, including: identifying strategic challenges and opportunities, defining a clear Winning Aspiration that aligns with your mission, generating and refining actionable solutions through collaborative exercises. 

2. Stakeholder Engagement: Gather insights from staff, board members, and community partners to inform and strengthen your plan. 

3. What’s next? Implementation Support: Bridge the gap between strategy and action by crafting a plan that is desirable, feasible, and viable—and help your team put it into practice. We guide you through the Strategy Choice Cascade, helping you: diagnose your current situation, define priorities and goals, and develop a focused, actionable plan. 

4. We also draw on tools from the business world to ensure your strategy is aligned with your organizational identity and it considers your: external forces, arenas where you operate, how you drive your work, staging, and how you balance mission with financial sustainability.
