Our team brings strategic insight, creative execution, and data-driven precision to every program we touch. We believe your mission deserves both clarity and momentum, and we build programs that deliver both.
Much like the dragonfly itself — known for its remarkable precision, adaptability, and ability to see in nearly every direction at once — we’re built to help your program navigate complexity and move forward with purpose.
What We Do
We specialize in omnichannel direct response fundraising programs — combining the power of direct mail, digital, and integrated campaigns to connect your foundation with the donors most likely to give, upgrade, and stay. Whether your foundation is looking to grow its annual fund, build a sustainer program, or re-engage lapsed donors, we design and execute customized strategies that move the needle.
How We Help Fraternal Foundations:
- Strategic Campaign Planning Dragonflies can spot a target from 60 feet away and catch it with 95% accuracy. We bring that same precision to omnichannel fundraising strategy tailored to your donor base, goals, and organizational priorities.
- Data & Analytics With nearly 360° vision, nothing escapes a dragonfly’s sight. We offer comprehensive file audits, donor segmentation, gift array development, predictive modeling, and benchmarking to help you understand your donors and maximize every ask.
- Direct Mail Production Masters of efficient, purposeful movement with no wasted motion, dragonflies never miss their mark. Our expert print production management keeps your campaigns moving from concept through delivery without missing a beat.
- Creative Services Among the most visually striking creatures in nature, the dragonfly knows how to make an impression. We bring that same attention to impact with full-service copywriting, graphic design, and messaging that reflects your foundation’s values and resonates with your donors.
- Sustainer & Mid-Level Programs Dragonflies spend years developing before taking flight—and the strongest fundraising programs are built the same way. We help you build the recurring and major donor pipelines that create long-term stability.
- Testing & Optimization Always adjusting mid-flight to stay on course, a dragonfly never loses sight of where it’s headed. We take the same approach, with continuous improvement of messaging, strategy, and channel mix to improve ROI over time.
Our Approach
Dragonflies are remarkable not just for their speed, but for their ability to adapt — changing direction instantly while never losing sight of where they’re headed. That’s how we work, too. Our process starts with understanding your donor file and organizational goals, then moves into sharpening strategy, segmentation, and creative before activating across channels. We manage production and partners, monitor results, and keep your team informed every step of the way without overwhelming them.
You bring the mission, goals, and donor relationships. We bring the strategy and execution.

GivaGrant
Cheaper Faster Better: After examining the market landscape for scholarships and grants software and tools, we found them to be expensive, inflexible, and not engaging for volunteers. We’ve learned the problem wasn’t capturing applicant data, but instead the user experience for those who donate their time and treasure. Simply said, the experience can be painful and surely not fun.
While GivaGrant provides a superior user experience for your applicants and program administrators, it’s true strength lies in the intuitive and engaging experience for volunteers and donors.

Avid
Avid is the Fundraising Operating System. It keeps every campaign building on the last, instead of starting over.
Modern fundraising fragments at scale. Insight lives in reports. Campaigns get rebuilt. Learning gets lost between cycles. The team spends more time coordinating than fundraising—and the work that actually moves donors gets buried underneath.
Avid holds that work together. Insight stays connected to execution. Audiences stay current. What worked last campaign shapes the next one. The team stops being the connection—and gets back to the relationships, the stories, and the moments that lead to giving.
