Success Stories
The Kingsbury Center
Our Challenge:
The Kingsbury Center is an independent educational institution serving children and adults with learning difficulties in the Washington , DC area. Under the leadership of a new CEO and Head of School, Kingsbury hired OAI to provide outsourced development support.
Our Solution:
OAI works with the staff at Kingsbury to provide a comprehensive solution and lend expertise to the development efforts at the Center. We focus on the four most important aspects of Kingsbury's fundraising efforts: fundraising leadership, development and solicitation; annual fund strategy and management; foundation and corporate grant proposal writing and submission; and major gifts strategy and solicitation.
The Results:
In fiscal year 2008, OAI helped Kingsbury raise nearly $400,000 from corporate, foundation and individual donors. As we move into the next fiscal year, OAI will help Kingsbury streamline their board structure and fine-tune their fundraising volunteer structure. In addition, OAI will continue to focus on securing gifts for Kingsbury, with a goal of raising $550,000 in fiscal year 2009.
Calling on OAI’s fundraising expertise and capabilities for outsourced development work, in October 2011 the American Red Cross in the National Capital Region engaged OAI to serve as an acting Chief Development Officer.
