Winkler Group

Winkler Group More than a coach. A partner who shares the workload. The Winkler Group specializes in capital campaign planning and management. We initiate. We lead.

If you’re ready for a partnership that changes everything, let’s get started. The Winkler Group is a full-service fundraising consulting firm specializing in capital campaigns, campaign studies, and strategic planning for nonprofits, independent schools, colleges, churches, hospitals, and ministries. With offices in South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and and New York, we serve clien

ts nationwide. We specialize in:

• Customized capital campaigns
• Campaign studies
• Strategic planning

Because servant leadership is built into our DNA, we do things differently. Instead of telling you what to do and checking in now and then, we roll up our sleeves and get started. We anticipate your needs and provide creative solutions. Our consultants are creative problem solvers with more than 250 years of combined fundraising experience. We incorporate the cutting-edge best practices we’ve learned as vice presidents of advancement, campaign directors, and directors of development. Part mentor, part colleague, we become a trusted member of your team. With degrees from Duke, Wofford, Wheaton, and William & Mary, our team is filled with overachievers and industry leading experts. Our consultants are carefully recruited—not just for their extensive experience in fundraising, but also for their ability to deliver results. Our fundraising strategies work for four simple reasons:

We lead. We initiate and guide the process every step of the way, giving you the confidence of knowing your goal will be met…or exceeded. We custom design. Your project will match your organization’s unique identity and priorities, while respecting your resources. We secure major gifts. We specialize in identifying, cultivating, and securing the leadership gifts that will make the difference in any fundraising initiative. We produce results. Our team has raised more than $1 billion for organizations with great causes just like yours.

In our third installment of "Making the Ask," we explore empathetic listening as a tool for discernment. We apply Covey's framework to move beyond surface-level facts and into the donor's "why."

When executed well, the dance of asking and listening reflects a donor's vision back to them until the path forward becomes clear to both of you. When a donor feels truly understood, the ask becomes the logical next step of the conversation, not a point of friction.

Why are many nonprofit "staples" often the least effective tools in your arsenal?

On April 10, we are joining Together SC in Charleston for a full-day intensive: The Fundraising Workshop. We'll be challenging common assumptions—starting with why traditional events often fail to drive long-term sustainability—and shifting the focus toward relationship-based strategies that move the needle.

From wealth screening and moves management to donor communications, we're dedicated to helping attendees build a development program that lasts.
