A new and improved way to analyze your nonprofit's fundraising capacity.

How often do you evaluate your fundraising team’s ability to raise predictable, consistent income and growth?

Our Leaky Bucket assessments reveal how well your fundraising team comes together to accomplish your organization's goals.

Leaky Bucket Lite

Are you a fundraiser, a manager, or an Executive Director worrying about why your fundraising is not achieving what you want? Find out where your productivity is leaking with our original version, the Leaky Bucket Lite. It is a free assessment designed for individual users.

Donor retention is not the "only leak." LB Lite reveals eight other leakages you may have not considered.
Pinpoints ways to "plug your leaks" for more predictable and consistent fundraising results.
Results show fundraisers and leaders how to make their fundraising easier, more effective, and more efficient.

Leaky Bucket Pro

If fundraising is everyone’s job, it should include more than the fundraising team. It should also include everyone else from the board to the program staff. When everyone comes together, not only will you see where you’re leaking, but your organization will also have internal alignment to achieve your fundraising goals. Leaky Bucket Pro is an organizational capacity assessment requiring a minimum of 21 participants to provide valid statistical insights to plug your organizational leaks.

Most nonprofits struggle with four organizational challenges: internal alignment; fundraising performance; fundraising methods; and donor management. Organizational challenges require organizational solutions.
Internal alignment, the "greatest unrecognized leak," has a profound effect on fundraising performance, methods, and donor management. LB Pro uncovers discrepancies within your organization that pinpoint strategic ways to "plug your leaks."
When internal alignment is achieved, the board, staff, and fundraising team can problem-solve together to accomplish the organization's fundraising goals, improve staff engagement, develop meaningful relationships with donors, and have predictable, consistent income and growth.

The Leaky Bucket Pro is an invaluable addition to traditional feasibility studies and development audits. It can help your organization overcome its greatest fundraising challenges.

I spent years as a comptroller in corporate, but until we took the Leaky Bucket Lite, I didn’t realize we had missed the boat on so many obvious things that we should have been doing to raise more money for our halfway house! Things are changing for the better now.

Half-way House for Recently Incarcerated

The Leaky Bucket Lite gave me a quick way to identify gaps in my organization’s fundraising, and the recommendations that came with our scores were very helpful. I have asked my board chair to take it too – so we are on the same page.

Co-Founder
Health Education Program for Marginalized Communities

Our organization has made most of our income from memberships and events, up to now. But now we are committed to improving results from major gifts, which means understanding what makes our donors tick. The Leaky Bucket Pro was an eye-opener for us. It gave us a chance to see the disconnects between what our fundraising team is doing and what the board thinks they’re doing, a big help as we emphasize major donors.

Chief Operating Officer
National Conservation Organization

As the nonprofit sector braces for a major shift in the equilibrium between the “Art and Science” of philanthropy, the Leaky Bucket cuts right to the center of fundraising operations to help modern nonprofits clearly to identify gaps and opportunities, help streamline processes and support strategic growth initiatives.
