What We Do: Fundraising & Development

OAI provides a comprehensive array of fundraising and development management services from assisting with portions of board development and fundraising to fully outsourcing an organization's development and campaign management functions.

OAI works with our clients to identify each organization's specific fundraising challenges and opportunities and develops tailored fundraising strategies, taking into consideration each nonprofit's unique development landscape. OAI strives to improve development capacity by offering innovative ideas and strategies to pursue new or untapped fundraising resources.

We consider our team to be an extension of our client's development staff – anything they are expected to do, we do. OAI exceeds at not only providing strategic guidance on fundraising activities, but also in managing and implementing all elements of an organization's development activities.

Further, a strong, effective, and engaged board of directors is an essential element of any successful nonprofit organization's fundraising activities. OAI helps nonprofit organizations build, strengthen, and empower their boards of directors, educating and enabling individual board members to understand and fulfill their responsibilities.
