Case Studies
OUR CASE STUDIES
Teens of Color Abroad
Parkes Philanthropy worked with Teens of Color (Abroad) to design a strategic development plan to support their growth. The team established financial pillars in order for their organization to sustainably grow, such as donor pipeline, engagement strategy, and long-term operational planning.
The Jewish Museum
In 2021, Parkes Philanthropy worked with The Jewish Museum to develop a strategic pipeline of opportunities to unlock new funding opportunities for an upcoming exhibit. With a Fundraising Director on maternity leave, they needed additional development support to manage their current portfolio while identifying opportunities.
StartOut
Parkes Philanthropy partnered with StartOut to strengthen and scale its corporate partnerships strategy, building a pipeline of 250+ corporate prospects and closing 6 new partnerships, including multiple six-figure deals with Comcast, JPMorgan Chase, and Coca-Cola. The effort supported $1.8M+ in corporate revenue toward a $2.4M fundraising strategy and helped the annual gala exceed goal by 30%.
The Foundation for Fresno Unified Schools
In 2022, Parkes Philanthropy worked with the Foundation for Fresno Unified Schools (“the Foundation”) to develop a strategic plan for its inaugural initiative: a scholarship program for the district’s nearly 4,000 graduating seniors. The Fresno Unified School District is the third-largest school district in California.
