What we offer

With more than 20 years of experience raising millions of dollars for various organizations and political candidates, our strategies are tailored to meet your specific goals. BHE is able to design and implement capital campaigns, endowment campaigns, year-end-giving, IRA-rollover giving, feasibility and planning studies, as well as political fundraising & campaign finance reporting. 

We aid in exceeding your goals while strengthening your organizations capacity. We offer assistance in strategic planning, prospect strategy, gift packaging, and multi-year commitments. 

Every successful organization needs a solid resource development plan in order to achieve its mission. Blue Heron Enterprises works with organizations and political candidates to define a clear path for their success, while assisting with an implementation plan, including decisions about program/issue priorities, organizational structures, and diversified revenue stream strategies.

In order for an organization to be successful, it needs to have a diversified revenue stream.  Blue Heron Enterprises will work with your development team to solidify a prospective donor base that will work to support your fundraising goals. We help our clients to "achieve the impossible."

We will help you plan and implement your galas, auctions, and any special event fundraisers you may have. 

We offer a variety of options for our grant writing services for nonprofit organizations. These one-year agreements include grant research opportunities, relationship building with grant funders and foundations, and any stewardship meetings you may need. 

In a close partnership with your team, we lead the writing and submission of highly technical and involved government grants. After that, we ensure your narrative is strong. Finally, we verify that your entire application package meets the standards set forth by the agency. 

Working closely with your staff, we complete your grant application, proposal, or letter of inquiry. In addition, we make sure it’s factual, competitive and thorough.  

We access subscription-based databases and develop a list of strong matches with grantmakers and your organization. This report can stand alone for your resources, or we can utilize it to assist you with your grant writing. 

We are able to help with numerous activities related to grants, including outcome measurement, data tracking, grant compliance monitoring, grant reports, site visit preparation, and more.

 A thorough and precisely implemented marketing and communications strategy can accomplish your goals. Blue Heron Enterprises utilizes a wide range of tools to engage audiences through digital communications, earned media strategies, working with local, state and national media, social media targeting, and more. 

With experience at the local, state, and national levels- both in the not-for-profit and political sectors- Blue Heron Enterprises has a proven track record for creating and managing coalitions that deliver results in a constantly changing political environment. Through customized strategies, we build and manage effective coalitions that serve to unify voices and ensure that the coalition’s policy objectives are a top priority.

Whether the coalition stands alone as a 501(c)(4) or a more informal collaboration between corporations, trade associations, and policy experts, BHE will aid in forming the leadership of your coalition, create the branding and messaging, and ensure that all legal and financial infrastructure is established. We will plan and execute all aspects of the coalition launch from the website and social media platforms, work to identify the targeted audience, initial coalition partner recruitment, and media strategy.  

Crisis Communications

Preparation is necessary when it comes to the ability to effectively handle a crisis. Understanding the political, public opinion and media landscape, BHE works to develop a personalized message.  We can respond quickly to various dynamics across a multitude of platforms, and act as a partner through challenges.  We help our clients to change the dynamic of the issue so that you'll end up back on the offensive.
