Established in 1995, our firm specializes in fundraising consulting for Israeli non-profit organizations. We are the largest fundraising consulting firm in the country and work with dozens of non-profits in the realms of education, human services, healthcare, art, culture, animal welfare and more, helping them to identify grant opportunities, navigate the fundraising landscape and make a bigger impact.
Working closely alongside organizations, our comprehensive services include provision of valuable information and insight on foundations in Israel and abroad, recommendations on leveraging fundraising from private donors, businesses, corporations and government ministries, and strategic planning to diversify all strategic aspects of fundraising.
Services also include assistance with board leadership development and fundraising event planning. In order to help organizations meet their fundraising goals, our wrap-around support also includes grant writing and preparation of all communication materials pertaining to fundraising. We are also diligently working to help non-profits recover and respond to the challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic by informing them of valuable grant seeking sources that could be applicable for them. We charge a monthly retainer for our services.
Our fundraising plan involves a thorough study of the organization’s activity and previous fundraising efforts. Once a month, we hold a consultation meeting in which we provide tailored information on foundations as well as strategies for enhancing resource development. During this meeting we also review performance against previous fundraising leads and assignments. In addition to this, we are available at all times for counseling and brainstorming.

With 25 years of experience and a solid track record in working with non-profit organizations of all shapes and sizes, Platek and Shaham Fundraising Consultants provide expert counsel and access to a highly skilled team of grant writers that craft persuasive proposals and competitive applications. Our team of seasoned professionals become an essential player for your non-profit team bringing to the table a wealth of knowledge and invaluable insights to streamline your fundraising efforts.
Instead of outsourcing your fundraising services, Platek and Shaham Fundraising Consultants work with your non-profit fundraising team to create an optimized fundraising strategy and build a strong fundraising framework in-house. We take the time to learn about your non-profit organization and fundraising goals and provide valuable information and expert fundraising coaching. The strategies you’ll learn and skills you’ll develop, along with our ideas will benefit your fundraising capacity in the present and in the long run.
We don’t believe in a “once size fits all” approach. Our recommendations are personalized for each nonprofit. We locate the best fundraising opportunities from foundations in Israel and abroad, corporate grant makers and private donors and guide you in pursuing the right funders at the right times.
Instead of appealing to philanthropic foundations that are well-known and whose application rounds are highly competitive, we bring creativity and sophistication by gathering data on the ever-changing fundraising landscape and the giving patterns of donors. We conduct in-depth research to unearth new foundations and emerging donors and the best ways to appeal to them. By aligning with their aims and appealing to their preferences, we increase the potential for responsiveness.
We offer affordable services with nonprofit fundraising success in mind.
