Catapult Fundraising

Results

Representative outcomes from campaigns we've carried start to finish.

Every nonprofit's numbers are confidential to their board, but the patterns below reflect the kind of results clients see across all four of our services when planning, major gifts, and public-phase calling are handled by one accountable team.

Results Across Every Service

Capital Campaign Counsel

Feasibility to Public Phase

Structured feasibility studies and quiet-phase major gift strategy carried clients through a 24–36 month runway into a confidently launched public phase.

Legacy & Planned Giving

Bequest Identification

Legacy Call conversations with long-tenured donors identified and closed bequests and beneficiary designations that would otherwise have gone unrecorded.

Mid-Level Donor Engagement

Average Gift Growth

Personalized outreach from a dedicated Engagement Officer, paired with a story-driven pre-call letter, increased average mid-level gift size by 20-30% at renewal.

Mid-Level Donor Engagement

Donor Engagement Lift

Layering calls, letters, digital voicemail, and text touchpoints doubled meaningful donor engagement compared to mail-only outreach, a 100% increase in response.

Mid-Level Donor Engagement

Major Gift Pipeline

Structured qualification conversations identified passion and capacity among existing mid-level donors, building a qualified pipeline of future major gift prospects.

Annual Fund Calling

Participation & Retention

Trained Engagement Officers running segmented outreach and personalized asks lifted annual fund participation and donor retention above industry norms.

They were the only firm willing to stay with us from the feasibility study all the way through the public phase calling. One team, one accountable partner from start to finish.
Executive Director
Capital Campaign Client
Legacy Call was a gamechanger for us. As a small shop, it helped us reach a much wider audience of planned giving donors, and the response was incredible: several new gifts and a full pool of new prospects.
Colleen Schulman, CFRE, CSPG
Chief Philanthropy Officer, PBS KVIE
Catapult's fractional officers seamlessly amplified our staff capacity. We grew our total donor households, increased funds raised from our mid-level base, and strengthened our major gifts pipeline. True partners, not just a vendor.
Christine Ann Stevens
Former Sr. Director of Development, Houston Symphony
Catapult's multi-channel outreach, phone, text, and email woven into one plan, increased both donor participation and dollars raised. Their callers are exceptionally well-trained, authentic, and a true extension of our advancement team.
