01

Create the Case

Our creative team will work with you to develop the messaging strategy, define the ask, and build a complete case—intellectual and emotional—that best motivates major donors to invest in your mission.

We then bring your case to life through scripts, videos, and other collateral.

Inspire Trust

In the non-profit realm it is commonly understood that it usually takes a 12-18 month journey to achieve engagement from a major donor.

Our model has proven to be an incubator to generate buy-in and inspire a level of trust that leads to transformational giving in just 3.5 days.

Build Community

Relationship development is the most unexpected and remarked-about aspect of our events.

Imagine a growing family of supporters coalescing around your vision. And that community isn’t just between your organization and major donors; it grows among the like-minded leaders you have invited and adds value to their lives and livelihood.

Westfall Gold did the homework to get to know us, prepare us for a genuinely remarkable event, and changed the financial trajectory of our Academy in a single weekend.

I've served in uniform from a deployed, bare-base unit to the White House and I have never seen a more professional, effective, successful team anywhere. If you don't hire them, you'll always have to wonder, "What if..."

Westfall Gold defined our story, redefined it, made it concise, made it compelling—they made it dramatic. We weren’t able to do that on our own.

We really thought we knew what our story was but when we sat down with the creative team at Westfall Gold they started hearing what we were saying, and listening and they began to tell us what our story really is.
