OUR IMPACT

Recently, DSG partnered with a ministry in Southern California that sought to expand impact in local communities across the U.S. We not only built the strategy, we developed the necessary leadership for the “17 City Campaign.” The results were highly successful. Together, we achieved nearly 40% of the funds needed for the year in that launch city alone.

Thousands receive free wheelchairs every year because of our strategic and persistent efforts with foundations. Through the creation of the Ministry Brief, in-depth foundation searches, mail campaigns, grant proposals, and relationship-building, funds come in that provide even more wheelchairs. Now, thousands of underserved individuals and hundreds of needy families have the “gift of mobility” through the goodness of God.

When an international ministry first hired DSG they had $20K in debt, a donor file of 200 contacts, and an operating budget of $400K. After just 3 years of helping them develop a donor marketing strategy, they had over 2,500 donors and a budget surpassing $2 million.

Today, social service organizations are in great demand given the needy populations all over the world. DSG stepped in when an organization needed to raise nearly $1 million to expand their borders and provide medical support. By fleshing out their strategy, unique ministry tools, and relationships, DSG helped raise funding from new foundations and individuals who were aligned to their services.

They were already doing amazing work in a country where fruitful ministry was thought impossible. Their budget was just under $1 million. They knew that if they had more resources, impact would significantly increase. After working with DSG for 5 years, their budget is now over $4 million and continues to grow. A recent development tour, managed by DSG in conjunction with the ministry’s “Impact Plan”, garnered over $1 million in gifts and pledges.

Serving local impoverished people is expensive. This ministry recently borrowed money to purchase a new building that greatly increased their ability to aid the community. DSG was hired to energize the necessary funds to pay off the $2.5 million owed. In just 90 days, the DSG team built a strategy and developed the materials for a successful capital campaign.

When a start-up ministry approached DSG, they had no strategy, no donor file, a minuscule budget, and were virtually unknown. In a year’s time, DSG established a strategy that created a growing donor file, increasing their budget to $600K. In addition to an increasing number of smaller monthly donors, DSG helped secure multiple major donor gifts and foundation grants. DSG also organized a donor event attended by over 150 individuals.
