Prospect research
Where other firms offer wealth screening and donor analysis, Credo Strategies provides customized research services designed to fit a variety of budgets and provide various levels of information on current and prospective donors. Some of the most unique services we offer include lists of donor affiliations, contacts and business partners, as well as donations to and memberships with other charities. Credo Strategies will also make recommendations on the best approach and “ask amount” for donor targets.
For Profit Organizations
While Credo Strategies began as an organization serving exclusively charitable organizations, its track record of success with grant writing and venture philanthropists led it to begin assisting small to mid size companies looking to attract grant funding, angel investors or simply reach a previously untapped customer base.
Today, Credo Strategies helps small businesses:

Credo Strategies provides a comprehensive array of services to non-profit organizations who want to make more money.
State Charity Registration
Organizations must register before conducting any fundraising activities. This includes charities with a website that accept online donations using their own software, Paypal, Network for Good, or other third party vendors. Charities that fail to comply with these registration requirements are subject to fines and penatlties.
The registration process is expensive and time intensive.
CredoStrategies will manage the registration process including IRS registrations, state fundraising registrations, a comprehensive search for registration exemptions that could save hundreds of dollars, registration renewals, and updates on changes to state laws.
We offer more services than law firms at a fraction of the cost.
