Foundations

Vital support for all types of organizations often comes from foundations established specifically with the purpose of furthering a cause. Holmes, Radford & Avalon has helped numerous foundations improve their own financial well-being with reasoned approaches to fund raising that include strategic planning, strategic issues studies, organizational development, annual funds, seminars, board development, leadership training and program evaluation studies.

Holmes, Radford and Avalon, Inc. has also provided technical assistance, coaching and fund development consulting services to recipients of capacity building grants from foundations like the Missouri Foundation for Health and the Kellogg Foundation working on behalf of management agencies like the Nonprofit Services Consortium.

We’ve aided foundations geared to capacity building, capital projects, social service, community development, operations and endowment building, performing arts, health care issues, volunteerism and board development.

Specifically, we’ve undertaken ambitious fund raising projects and strategic planning for such groups as:

  • Community Foundation of Decatur – Macon County (IL);
  • Effingham County Community Foundation (IL);
  • St. Francis Hospital Foundation (Cape Girardeau, MO);
  • Highland Community Foundation (IL);
  • Stifel Paralysis Research Foundation (Short Hills, NJ);
  • Shelbyville Area Community Foundation (IL);
  • Donald W. Reynolds Foundation (Las Vegas);
  • Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International (New York);
  • Naismith International Basketball Foundation (Chicago);
  • Incarnate Word Foundation (St. Louis);
  • Decatur – Macon County Animal Shelter Foundation (Decatur, IL);
  • Princess Grace Foundation (New York);
  • Grand Victoria Foundation (Chicago);
  • Mattoon Area Community Foundation (IL);
  • Foundation Center (New York).

Such institutions often underpin the success of other noteworthy groups with their own financial backing. Thus, it’s doubly satisfying to us to be able to provide the thinking and leadership to help these organizations plan prudently for their own futures.
