Foundation Engages Hartsook Companies

27 July, 2019

In preparation for its Second Century Fund Drive, the DeMolay Foundation has engaged the Hartsook Companies, the world’s leading nonprofit fundraising consultant. The initial step in the process is for Hartsook to interview DI and DF personnel to gain a consensus of desired fundraising goals. This task has been completed. Next, Hartsook is to prepare a Case Statement that memorializes the drive’s goals and sets preliminary funding targets. Last week, Hartsook completed this task.

Hartsook will now commence interviewing potential donors to determine the final funding targets. This process will take about 30 days. Hartsook consultants from around the country will participate in this process.
