Clay Myers-Bowman

Myers-Bowman Consulting

Realistic & Honest Solutions for Nonprofits

There are multiple ways for organizations to raise money and awareness: annual campaigns, special events, social media, direct mail, email, major gifts, grant writing, and planned gifts. Finding the right combination (that results in more money raised and more engagement with donors) is often a matter of chance: sometimes good, sometimes not so good. But if you don’t have a plan, your chances of success aren’t so good.

“I hired Clay originally as a consultant to do a complete Foundation Audit and Strategic Plan. His plan was so concise, thorough, measurable and executable that I hired him full time as Vice President. In his time with us he took things to the next level, incorporating a culture of giving with a culture of enjoyment of the beauty of art, music and nature. We were very, very fortunate to have his time.” CEO, Meadowlark Hills Retirement Community
