OUR SERVICES
We customize the work that we do to match what you need. We specialize in increasing the revenue our clients raise through:
Grant and sponsorship applications are more than just paperwork – they are an opportunity to tell a compelling, authentic story about your work. A well-crafted application not only secures funding but also shapes organizational growth, clarifies financial goals, and demonstrates the impact you aim to achieve. More than that, it invites funders to become true partners in your mission.
At Cloudbreak, our grants team submits over 600 grant and sponsorship applications annually, securing more than $30 million in funding alongside our clients. We approach this work with efficiency, expertise, and a deep commitment to your success. Beyond writing grants, we serve as strategic partners – offering expert guidance to help nonprofits strengthen their grant strategies and grow their funding over time.
Fundraising is a central function for small and mid-sized nonprofit organizations. Yet, the responsibility often falls to teams who are understaffed, focused on other responsibilities, or working in fundraising out of obligation not interest. Cloudbreak provides outsourced expertise to help organizations build effective fundraising systems, tools, and strategies – ultimately increasing revenue from donors of all sizes.
We are advisors, strategists, analysts, teachers, writers, and hands-on doers. Our expertise covers every aspect of annual fundraising, including:
-
Print and mail appeals
-
Gift tracking and processing
-
Annual fundraising plans and dashboards
-
Major gift programs
-
Donor communications
-
Development staffing and hiring
-
Board fundraising training and coaching
-
Workplace giving and creative partnerships
This work is often referred to as annual fund fundraising, but regardless of the terminology, our focus remains the same – helping you build a strong, sustainable fundraising strategy that supports your organization's long-term success.
When your organization is embarking on a pivotal journey—whether it’s building a new facility, establishing an endowment, or launching a transformative initiative—Cloudbreak is your partner in securing the resources needed to bring your vision to life. We guide you from the initial idea to the finish line, helping to build internal capacity, prioritize community needs, and activate leadership from your Board, staff, and volunteers while engaging a broad network of supporters.
We take a collaborative approach to campaign planning and execution. Our focus isn’t just on reaching a financial target; we help strengthen your fundraising infrastructure, cultivate leadership, and build deeper community relationships, ensuring long-term sustainability well beyond the campaign. Whether you’re preparing for a campaign, actively fundraising, or in need of a strategic reset, our tailored support will meet you where you are.
