CONNECTING YOUR GREAT CAUSE TO GREAT PEOPLE

Since 1997, Avalon has helped our clients raise millions of dollars to achieve their visions for a better world—while building relationships with people who share their passion and support their important causes. 

Avalon works exclusively with nonprofit organizations and progressive political campaigns. Why? Because making a difference and creating positive social change are the reasons we got into this business in the first place. This unwavering focus means that all of Avalon’s expertise, energy, and resources are dedicated to helping you raise more money and engage your supporters in meaningful and creative ways. 

BUILDING MULTI-CHANNEL FUNDRAISING PROGRAMS THAT DELIVER RESULTS

Avalon’s fundraising model is built around the simple fact that the strongest direct marketing fundraising programs are those that integrate all communication channels—mail, phone, online (and for some nonprofits, on-site). The bottom line: multi-channel fundraising programs raise more money. 

In addition to our dynamic direct mail practice, Avalon is recognized as an industry pioneer and leader in telefundraising, as well as an innovator in the field of online fundraising and engagement. For clients with physical locations, such as museums, we also advise on on-site visitor outreach strategies. 

Avalon brings a truly integrated view of how all of these channels interact and support one another—orchestrating high-impact multi-channel campaigns that produce top results. 

CULTIVATING HIGH-QUALITY DONOR RELATIONSHIPS

When it comes to building donor/member files, Avalon emphasizes quality over quantity. Our goal is to identify and invest in your highest potential supporters and design outreach strategies that develop each individual’s full giving potential—and your program’s fundraising potential.

At the heart of Avalon’s approach is the fact that fundraising success is the result of building strong relationships through a thoughtful balance of communication, engagement, solicitation, and cultivation. Not only is this the best way to connect your great cause to the people who support you, but it’s also the most profitable fundraising model. 

CREATING A BUSINESS WE ARE PROUD OF

Avalon is proud of the fundraising we do on behalf of our clients. But, just as important, we are proud of the company we have built here in the heart of Washington, DC. Throughout our evolution as an agency, Avalon has remained committed to the core values upon which we were founded. 

Avalon has experienced consistent growth as an agency, and we consider our high client and staff retention a testament to both our high quality standards and positive corporate culture. Clients stay with us because we consistently deliver top fundraising results—and because they appreciate Avalon’s high level of client service and collaborative approach. Internally, we strive to ensure that our employees enjoy a healthy balance between work and home, as well as professional fulfillment in the high-paced world of direct marketing fundraising.
