Our Services to... Fund-raising Organizations

Fund-raising organizations are a significant part of ODMD’s Not-for-Profit practice. They include cause-related charities in the fields of disease specific research and education, environmental advocacy, literature and the arts and social welfare. Several are broader based, focusing on charity in the workplace and many are community based.

The firm’s involvement with fund-raising organizations provides ODMD partners and staff an opportunity to identify problem areas specific to those organizations and to develop solutions targeted to those issues and needs. ODMD professionals are familiar with the issues surrounding gifts and donor restrictions as well as the problems of allocating costs between programs and fund-raising activities.  They can also provide guidance on developing stronger internal controls and minimizing operational risk.
