Turn Vision Into Reality Through Generosity
Every great mission dream needs a plan — and partners who know how to get there.
With more than 300 successful campaigns and 50 years of trusted experience, GSB helps nonprofits build donor partnerships that fund purpose, not maintenance.
Your Mission Deserves the Resources to Grow
Capital needs can feel overwhelming — new facilities, infrastructure, technology, or expanded programs.
You know what’s needed to serve well, but you’re unsure how to inspire gifts at the level it requires.
That’s where we come in. GSB’s proven feasibility study and campaign counsel process transforms bold ideas into achievable, donor-driven campaigns built on relationships and trust.
A Relational, Donor-Centered Approach
We don’t believe in transactional fundraising.
Our campaigns are built on a “join us culture” — storytelling that connects donors’ values to your mission’s impact.
You’ll experience:
Hands-on partnership. You work directly with seasoned GSB partners, not handed off to junior staff.
Sector-specific expertise. We understand the unique dynamics of nonprofits, camps, and community organizations.
Integrated systems. Campaigns that strengthen annual fund, planned giving, and donor relations.
Sustainable growth. When the campaign ends, your organization is stronger, better connected, and ready for what’s next.

Results That Speak for Themselves
“Energy is clearly high for the All-Organization Meeting, and last week’s preview meeting went very smoothly — the project is going to happen, through no small feat by both of you. In 35+ years of leadership, you are the very best I have worked with.”
— Pastor Simon Fensom, Trinity Lutheran Church
“Our campaign follow-up brought in another $100,000 gift. Doing the work resulted in more significant giving that will benefit the organization for years to come.”
— Nathan Rice, St. Luke Summerville
