The Flavor Continues: sustainable funding, built on their values.
Over a two-year partnership, we built donor stewardship systems, launched a monthly giving program, and reshaped how they talk to donors — generating $140,000 in new grants while keeping their community voice at the center.
Bloom Arts Strategy is the fundraising team for arts organizations.
Led by founder Stacy Handler, a senior strategist for several successful arts organizations, we build the strategy, systems, and pipeline your team needs to raise funds with confidence.
And as a fractional team, we bring senior experience for a fraction of a full-time salary.
Frequently asked questions:
-
Yes! Because we know the arts so well, and how organizations in this field operate, we work only with arts organizations.
-
No. We ask for at least a 3-month minimum, and after that it's month to month.
-
We find that EDs wear a lot of hats, and that fundraising is just one of them. By hiring us, we supplement and amplify their efforts.
-
We’ll step in to fill that role on a fractional basis and put systems in place. When you’re ready to bring the role in-house, the standard processes are already there.
-
No. We build the strategy, systems, and donor pipeline behind your fundraising, and we coach your team to make the asks with confidence. We don't solicit gifts on your behalf.
-
Not at all! We love working with organizations at this stage. We'll build simple, effective systems your team can actually keep up with.
