Retainer / Management

Ongoing partnership. Predictable cadence.
Best for

Organizations whose initiative keeps generating new work — and who want a partner growing with it on predictable terms.

Typical engagements
  • Initial website → newsletter → bimonthly events with social ads
  • Ongoing fundraising operations + dashboards + reporting
  • Embedded marketing and digital lead with expanding scope
  • Multi-quarter program operations and stakeholder management
Engagement model
  • Multi-month commitment
  • Choose monthly retainer (predictable) or hourly billing (flexible)
  • Scope expands with the initiative
  • Better economics than pay-as-you-go

Our Services

Each pillar, in detail.

Four areas of work. End-to-end ownership in each.

01

Fundraising Solutions & Digital Reporting

Grant strategy, donor reporting, and the dashboards that prove your work to funders. We secure the funding — and tell the story that earns more of it.

We start with a funding audit: where you've won, where you've left money on the table, where you're aligned with active funders. Then we build the strategy, write the proposals, and create the reporting infrastructure that keeps funders engaged across the engagement lifecycle.

Includes
  • Grant strategy and prospect research
  • Proposal writing and editing
  • Donor reporting and impact dashboards
  • Funding pipeline management
  • Stewardship and renewal planning
  • Funder presentations and pitch coaching
Best for

Organizations that need consistent funding wins — not just one-time grant submissions.

02

Event Strategy & Management

From boardroom briefings to fundraising galas — we plan, host, and manage events that turn into momentum. Logistics handled. Mission protected.

Every event is a strategic moment, not just a logistical exercise. We start with the goal — revenue, awareness, stakeholder alignment — and design backwards. Vendor management, run-of-show, attendee experience, follow-up — we own the whole arc.

Includes
  • Event strategy and goal alignment
  • Vendor sourcing and contract management
  • Run-of-show development
  • On-site coordination and execution
  • Stakeholder communications and invitations
  • Post-event reporting and follow-up
Best for

Organizations who need an event to deliver real outcomes — not just happen.

03

Project & Vendor Management

Multi-stakeholder initiatives need someone who's done it before. We own the timeline, manage vendors, and keep every moving piece aligned with the outcome.

We embed in your project as the operational lead — running stand-ups, managing risk, coordinating vendors, and reporting status to leadership. The work happens. The deadline holds. The team stays aligned.

Includes
  • Project planning and timeline development
  • Vendor sourcing, contracting, and management
  • Cross-functional coordination
  • Risk and issue tracking
  • Status reporting to leadership and board
  • Post-project retrospectives and handoff
Best for

Organizations leading complex initiatives that span multiple teams, vendors, or quarters.

04

Digital Infrastructure

Custom websites, live dashboards, and the digital systems your work runs on. Built for the long haul — not templated, not duct-taped, not outsourced.

We build infrastructure that compounds. Every system is custom-architected to your work, documented, and maintainable. No reliance on themes you'll outgrow, plugins that go unmaintained, or third-party platforms that hold your data hostage.

Includes
  • Custom website design and development
  • Live dashboards and data infrastructure
  • CRM and pipeline integration
  • Form and intake automation
  • Documentation and handover packages
  • Ongoing infrastructure maintenance
Best for

Organizations whose digital systems are blocking or limiting the work — not enabling it.

How We Work

The EMG Consulting Process

We work alongside your team — not above it. Every engagement is built around your mission, your data, and your community. No templates. No guesswork.

1
Audit & Discovery
We start by going deep — learning your organization's goals, gaps, data, and funding history. No assumptions. Just an honest assessment and a clear picture of where you stand and where you're capable of going.
Week 1–2
2
Strategy & Alignment
We build a plan that's specific, measurable, and aligned with what funders actually fund. From funding calendars to operational roadmaps — every decision has a reason and a result attached to it.
Week 2–4
3
Execute & Optimize
We don't hand off a deck and disappear. We execute alongside you — writing, building, reporting, and refining until your systems are strong enough to run without us. That's the goal every time.

[Real client engagement coming soon]

When this case study is published, it will tell the story of one specific engagement — the goals, the constraints, the work, the outcome. The kind of detail that turns abstract claims into concrete proof.

For now, this section serves as a placeholder. As soon as a featured engagement is written up with the client's permission, it will live here.
