The Physics of Philanthropy
You may not need NASA to turn your advancement program into a rocket, but The Cagney Company can help propel you forward to achieve both special (capital, endowment) and annual philanthropic objectives. We conduct financial planning studies and provide counsel to major fund raising efforts.
Accelerating Planning & Organizational Development
The Cagney Company can help accelerate organizational excellence through transformational thinking about your future and in preparing sound strategy to get there. We can help reveal the hidden extra dimensions of your organization’s brilliance and speed your advancement program to the next level. Workshops can be developed to meet your specific needs.
The Gravity of Leadership
Leadership is a strong force at work in your organization. It is the fundamental structure upon which all else rests. We can help you look at your current governance model and help to put in place structures and systems for optimally effective leadership. We can help you engage your leaders and raise their enthusiasm for fund raising. Retreats or workshops can focus specifically on planning, fundraising or other governance topics.

Penelope provided us with focus, purpose and depth and breadth of expertise. Because of her, we avoided making many serious mistakes that would have seriously deterred us from our goal. Because of her we made many right choices that have raised millions of dollars for us and exponentially increased our donor base.
