In 2011, GuideStar hired OAI to test a new membership program it was planning to launch in an effort to grow and diversify its revenue and membership base.

ServiceSource retained OAI in August 2011 to assess their capacity to raise the funds for a new Disabilities Resource Center in Northern Virginia.  The state-of-the-art Center will allow ServiceSource to meet a rapidly increasing demand for its employment training and habilitation services.

OAI is in the process of developing a strategic campaign plan to raise $75M in support of Nelson Mandela’s hospital, while aggressively seeking and securing campaign leadership volunteers and lead gifts.

“The staff meetings, according to all of us interviewed, went beautifully.  The questions were 'spot on' and your team was able to get all of us thinking and examining what is most important and necessary for the Home to grow our development efforts.  It really was a wonderful exercise."

- L. Ward Orem, MA, LNHA, CEO, Lisner-Louise-Dickson-Hurt Home

OAI delivered to the Excel senior staff and Board of Trustees a comprehensive and executable one year and five year Development Plan, inclusive of categorical fundraising goals, timelines, a yearlong work plan and budget for immediate implementation.

“At a critical time, we turned to OAI to establish our nonprofit foundation and to test the feasibility of a potential capital campaign.”
-Peggy Miller, Board of Directors, Rockville Volunteer Fire Department Foundation

OAI’s recommendations not only prepared the organization for its future campaign but also revitalized its day-to-day development operations.

While OAI provided strategic oversight to build a new and exciting fundraising program, the NSCS leadership was able to focus on relationships with their existing partners.
