Foundations
Fundraising consulting that helps foundations raise more, give with purpose, and build stronger nonprofit partners
Strategic Support for Foundations That Want More Impact
Foundations do more than award grants. You bring funders together, strengthen the nonprofits you support, and shape how giving works in your community.
JBK Fundraising Consultants provides philanthropic consulting for foundations at every stage, from launching a new foundation to growing an established one. We turn your vision into a clear plan your team can put into action.

How We Help Foundations
Our foundation consulting services focus on four areas.
Foundation Fundraising Strategies
We help you plan how to raise and grow funds, from annual giving to major gifts and campaigns. Our fundraising counsel gives your team a practical roadmap.
Foundation Grantmaking Strategies
We help you define priorities, set clear goals, and build a giving approach that supports measurable results.
Foundation Development Consulting
Launching or restructuring a foundation? We help with strategy, systems, and staffing so your foundation is ready to grow. Explore our organizational development services.
Foundation Partnership Programs
We design programs that bring funders, nonprofits, and community partners together around shared goals.
Build Stronger Nonprofit Partners
