CFRE‑Designed & Ethically Led

Fundraising Packages Built by a CFRE

So you can raise money with confidence.


Every template, training, and coaching track at The Funding Studio is designed and led by a Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE). That means proven methodology, ethical practice, and results you can trust.

A Curated Approach

 We are a highly selective organization, and every project we include reflects the care, discernment, and intention behind our work. Our model is designed to support a limited number of projects so we can offer a more considered, hands-on, and relationship-driven approach. 

A Reflection of Our Reputation

 When we choose to work with a project, we are not simply offering support. We are extending the partnership, reputation, relationships, and trust of The Funding Studio.

Aligned for Stewardship

 Our approach is rooted in thoughtful alignment. We look for projects that are prepared to engage fundraising with care, accountability, and respect for the donor experience. 

Step One: Revenue Plan Intensive

$3,500 one-time retainer

We create the essential fundraising collateral your project needs to move forward with a cohesive, donor-centric strategy already in place. Guided by The Funding Studio’s signature approach, each piece is thoughtfully developed to strengthen your positioning, sharpen your message, and maximize your impact. This is a meaningful investment for projects seeking a more refined, expert-led approach with materials designed for real fundraising results. It is a core element of high-achieving projects. 

As part of this process, we deliver:

  • Fundraising ecosystem blueprint 
  • 12-month integrated calendar 
  • Donor journey map 
  • Cross-channel messaging guide 
  • Strategic implementation roadmap 
  • Corporate sponsorship deck 
  • Customized donor-centric donation page 
  • Repeatable grant application template
  • Website assessment & donor experience review

Membership Privileges & Collective Fundraising

Fundraising done with you!

Membership with The Funding Studio includes access to shared fundraising and visibility opportunities that help projects benefit from being part of a broader creative and philanthropic community.


Depending on fit and timing, projects may be included in:


  • donor-facing support portfolios 
  • letter club stewardship and other donor communications 
  • annual events and featured community showcases 
  • silent auctions and collective fundraising campaigns 
  • collaborative grant applications 
  • newsletters, social media, and other storytelling opportunities 
  • advanced philanthropic donation strategies such as donor advised funds, gifts of stock, gifts or art, or planned giving


These collective efforts are designed to expand visibility, strengthen donor engagement, and create added fundraising momentum for participating projects. Participation may vary based on organizational priorities, campaign strategy, project readiness, and overall alignment.

Your Questions Answered

 Yes. Our curriculum, templates, and coaching tracks are built and overseen by a Certified Fund Raising Executive.



CFRE is an independent professional credential, earned through experience, education, an ethics commitment, and a comprehensive exam.


Absolutely. Start where you are and adjust as your project grows.


No. With fiscal sponsorship, you can receive charitable gifts and apply for grants while operating your project without forming a standalone 501(c)(3).


 Yes, fiscal sponsorship is only available to projects with an active subscription. This ensures you have access to the tools, resources, and support needed to successfully reach your fundraising goals. 


If you already have a fiscal sponsor (and many of our projects do), you can still take advantage of our fundraising services. We specialize in helping creative projects build strong donor pipelines and secure sustainable funding, whether or not we’re acting as the sponsor.
