The Tandem Difference

We collaborate! We sit next to you and teach you how to navigate to reach the financial destination.

Birds learn to fly with a parent… Wing to wing. Similarly, people learn to fly with flight instructors. Both are a collaborative process, journeying together in an ever-widening expanse of experience and opportunity.

Tandem builds revenue growth opportunities through such a relationship.

“…they will soar on eagles’ wings; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not grow faint.”
Isaiah 40:31

About Us

Tandem focuses on real world, action‐oriented deliverables. We raise money, create strategies, implement programs, and recruit, train and manage fundraising teams. In short, we institutionalize fundraising.

Together, we “navigate” around financial turbulence to keep revenues tracking on a steady course.

Win-Lift-Keep

Our process is holistic: We win new donors. We deepen the insights of your cause to existing donors to and lift their annual investments in your organization. And we develop extensive donor engagement programs to retain partners, year‐after‐year.

Take the test! Go to the Vital Signs section to find out if you are winning, lifting and keeping donors the way you could be.

Tandem’s 2 Principles of Revenue

The Money Follows The Cause

Fundraising is not about the money. If God has raised up your cause, He has also provided a way to fund it.

Friend Raising

“Fundraising is not about money!”

Tandem helps develop people who have a passion for a particular ministry into committed partners,
through living out an exchange of value. We call this donor cultivation process “Friend‐Raising.”

Advice alone won’t help you grow revenue. Hands‐on structuring, recruiting and leadership of your new development team will. What we excel in includes:

Major Donor Acquisition & Donor Relationship Management
Campaign Strategy and Implementation
Development Team building
Foundation Grant Acquisition

We collaborate. We sit next to you and teach you how to navigate to reach the financial destination.

Donor Development is an Exchange of Values

Tandem believes that an effective development program is an exchange of values; it helps the organization reach new revenue heights, while simultaneously helping its donors reach new spiritual heights.

Case Studies

Beacon needed to close a $500,000 revenue gap to continue to show God’s love to the needy.

There was no fundraising function in place to meet the loan payments and many of the 120 medical missionaries would have to be recalled.

1 large donor pulled its support, and no fundraising functions were in place to recapture the loss and sustain operations.

Do you have more donors than you did 2 years ago?
Are your directors responsible for less than ¼ of your total donations?
Do you win donor commitments at least 1 out of 4 times you request a donation?
Is 75% of your revenue coming from less than 20% of your donors?
Do your donors truly understand the heart of your ministry, its successes and the impact it is making in people’s lives?
