How to Make Your Social Service Agency’s Fundraising More Successful

Helping You Raise More to Serve More

Across North America, social service agencies provide vital support—food, shelter, and hope—to those who need it most. But fundraising can stretch already limited resources. We’re here to help you deepen donor relationships, increase giving, and build lasting financial stability—so your energy stays where it’s needed: serving your community.

Don’t Take Our Word for it—
What Our Partners Are Saying


When we started Souls Harbour, we had just a handful of donors—mostly our friends and family. With Give’s help, we’ve grown that into a database of over 39,000 supporters across Nova Scotia.

Give has partnered with us on everything from annual campaigns to public relations and awareness strategies, using radio, DRTV, and creating a brand-new responsive website that’s made online giving easier than ever.

Give isn’t just a marketing agency to us—they’re friends and colleagues who share our passion for this mission. They help us tell our story in ways that truly change lives.

From our start-up days to becoming a $17 million operation, Give has been with us every step of the way—advising, guiding, and supporting our mission. Thank you to Philip and his team for believing in us and helping us bring hope to Nova Scotia.

Chief Executive Officer

Frequently Asked
Questions

We’ve helped organizations across North America build and optimize their monthly giving programs. We start with an audit and develop a customized plan from our findings, including growing the donor base, cross-sell opportunities, and ongoing stewardship. We even help you build out your back-end and administrative structures.

We focus on what works. Our team brings deep experience in direct response fundraising, and we tailor every plan to fit your unique goals, audience, and budget. We don’t just provide creative—we bring structure, strategy, and a clear-eyed focus on results. And because we’ve worked with nonprofits across Canada and the U.S., we understand the fundraising landscape, donor expectations, and compliance requirements on both sides of the border.

We start by setting clear, realistic goals based on where you are today. That might include increasing response rates, improving second gift conversion, or building long-term donor value. We track campaign performance across key metrics and provide transparent reporting, so you always know what’s working—and what’s not.

Let’s talk. We usually begin with a discovery call to understand your goals and timelines. From there, we’ll map out next steps, whether it’s a single campaign or a longer-term strategy. Depending on capacity and scope, we can often start within a few weeks.
