We highlight your value and your impact, showcasing how your Atlanta-based nonprofit provides real benefits, impacts, value, and return on investment (ROI). Through this approach, donors—or as we like to call them, investors or funders—give while fully understanding the results and impact you deliver to stakeholders.
We’ll help you navigate Atlanta’s vibrant philanthropic landscape to host major fundraising campaigns, including capital, comprehensive, planned giving, and annual giving campaigns. Whether you need funds to build general capacity or for specific programs and special initiatives, our team of experts can handle it all.
Convergent’s team of fundraising consultants manages all of the day-to-day details and makes asks on your behalf, providing the lift you need to meet your campaign goals.

If you want to start a large-scale campaign but aren’t sure what results you can expect, start with a campaign feasibility study. We’ll assess whether you’re ready for a campaign, and, if not, we’ll give you steps to position your fundraising programs for success.
We work with your team in Atlanta to provide personalized fundraising advice to guide crucial organizational decisions.
Want to identify the holes in your fundraising strategy and any missed opportunities for revenue? Convergent’s Atlanta team is happy to reveal the gaps in your strategy, assess your readiness for a feasibility study, and ensure that your time is spent on valuable fundraising opportunities.

Testimonials
Andrew Keenan
“The fact that Convergent could make the ask was huge. Working with our director and joining solicitations made me a better fundraiser – that was the right formula for us. Moving forward I feel much more confident in making asks and telling our story, and that is going to make us more sustainable in the long run.”
Andrew Keenan, Executive Director Callanwolde Fine Arts Center | Atlanta, GA
Lisa Zaken
“In the span of six short months, our Board went from being nervous about the initial campaign investment to being ecstatic with the attainment of our goal, and our subsequent stretch goal! Convergent can do it like no other. Their system is rigorous and extremely effective. We have nothing but great things to say about this organization!”
Lisa Zaken, President & CEO Leadership Gwinnett | Duluth, GA
Dion Davis
“The strategy and support offered by Convergent helped our Board expand its vision for the Foundation, which in turn helped to refocus and redefine our organization's impact in our community. The methodology behind their capital campaign process not only helps to raise more money in the immediate, but it also builds best practices for long-term investor relations and lays groundwork for the success of future funding initiatives.”
Dion Davis, Former Executive Director Jekyll Island Foundation | Jekyll Island, GA

“I loved working with Convergent. I never could have done what Convergent did. If you want to run a successful campaign, you need to bring in that expertise. Thanks to their help, our capital campaign really took us to the next level within our community.”

Phillip Aldridge
“I wanted to thank everyone from the Convergent team who assisted in our campaign. Of the varying ways the campaign’s success may be measured, I count it a blessing that we achieved what we did. Not just the funds committed but the contacts made, the level of exposure reached, and ultimately, what the funds and exposure mean in terms of how many more we now serve as a result. My thanks is in recognition and appreciation for Convergent serving as our fundraising counsel and for the patience and professionalism demonstrated throughout the campaign. You were a godsend for Valley Healthcare!”
Phillip Aldridge, Board Chair Valley Healthcare System | Colombus, GA
Jeff Taylor
“Early in our campaign feasibility study it became apparent that we lacked the Asking Rights necessary to conduct a capital campaign. As a result, Convergent’s knowledgeable consultants prepared an extensive plan of action that is a road map for growing our awareness and philanthropy. A successful capital campaign will be possible in the near future. Their entrepreneurial approach will definitely get you where you want to go.”
Jeff Taylor, CEO MedCura Health, formerly Oakhurst Medical Center | Stone Mountain, GA
