Transforming Nonprofit Fundraising

We provide assistance in three key areas - fund development, talent management, and strategy consulting - helping each client gain the experience and resources necessary to fuel their growth, build sustainability, and achieve a greater impact.

More than three decades of service

Founded in 1985, DickersonBakker has an unbroken track record of providing professional consulting services to nonprofit clients for more than thirty-five years.

Hundreds of millions of dollars raised

We have helped hundreds of organizations raise hundreds of millions of dollars through capital campaigns and other fund development consulting programs.

Over seventeen hundred clients served

We work with a wide variety of nonprofits, faith-based and secular, small to large, across the spectrum from those seeking to meet individual needs in their local communities to those hoping to make a global impact for eternity.

Local impact… with a global reach

With corporate offices in both North Carolina and Texas and consulting team offices across the country, we partner with groups throughout the United States as well as in Canada and overseas.

Called to Serve

Our faith is what fuels our passion to do what we do. Even though we do not exclusively serve faith-based organizations, each member of our team possesses a sense of Christian calling to service. Much of how we approach our work is founded on Biblical principles of stewardship.

And since we take our faith seriously, you can count on us to serve with integrity and be held accountable for everything we promise.

Committed to Partnership

We are passionate about what our clients do and seek authentic personal connections with each. For us, it’s all about mission and service, not a “flash and dash” sales pitch. We will never sell a bill of goods and then hardly show up when the real work starts.

When we engage you as a client, we commit to being there every step of the way, shoulder to shoulder with you until the job is done. We do what we say we’re going to do, and usually even more.

Individualized Solutions

Your organization and situation are unique. So you need real solutions, not a cookie-cutter program.

We are committed to working with you to design individualized services that fit your own set of organizational needs, circumstances, and budget.

Relatable Expertise

Experience matters. Each member of our team has a proven track record of achieving real success in what clients hire us to help them do. Because at the end of the day it’s not about being the smartest person in the room – it’s about knowing how to get things done. At the same time, while we take our work seriously, we try not to take ourselves too seriously. We love what we do and gain joy from doing it.

Real Outcomes

We are committed to achieving real measurable results with each of our clients. You are making a big investment, and you need to see a real return. We understand that.

For most nonprofits, money is always in short supply. But when dealing with complex situations, real change isn’t easy, and it doesn’t come cheap, especially when bringing a depth and breadth of experience to bear, as we do.

Fortunately, most of our clients have plenty of latent opportunity bottled up just waiting to be released, and will usually see a net positive return on investment within the first year of service.

“I appreciate Dickerson, Bakker & Associates' focus on results and the fact that they have always met and exceeded my expectations in our work together.”
