ABOUT US
For more than 35 years, Partnership Resources Group has helped over 300 nonprofit organizations throughout Northern California strengthen their impact, navigate change, and secure the resources needed to advance their missions.
Our clients have raised hundreds of millions of dollars through capital campaigns, annual giving programs, major gifts initiatives, special appeals, and planned giving. We have advised many of the Bay Area's most respected nonprofit organizations—from volunteer-led startups to healthcare systems, educational institutions, human service agencies, and community foundations.
But fundraising success never happens in isolation.
The strongest organizations share common characteristics: effective leadership, engaged governance, strategic clarity, diversified revenue streams, compelling cases for support, and enduring relationships with donors and stakeholders.
When the pandemic disrupted traditional nonprofit models, organizations confronted unprecedented challenges. Revenue streams became uncertain. Volunteer engagement declined. Boards struggled to adapt. Workforce expectations changed. Long-standing programs required reexamination. Executive Directors found themselves facing increasingly complex decisions with fewer resources.
In response, PRG expanded its role.
Today, while fundraising remains a cornerstone of our work, we also serve as experienced strategic advisors to nonprofit leaders seeking practical solutions, informed guidance, and a trusted thought partner.
Whether helping an Executive Director navigate organizational change, coaching a Board Chair through governance challenges, supporting a development team pursuing ambitious goals, or facilitating strategic planning for future growth, we bring decades of experience, perspective, and proven best practices to every engagement.
We believe that every nonprofit challenge is unique. There are no templates, shortcuts, or one-size-fits-all solutions.
Our process begins by listening.
We take time to understand an organization's history, culture, strengths, aspirations, and constraints before recommending a path forward. Drawing on more than 80 years of combined nonprofit leadership experience, we help organizations adapt proven practices to their specific circumstances and opportunities.
Our commitment is not to quick fixes. It is to long-term sustainability, stronger leadership, healthier organizations, and greater mission impact.
Partnership is more than our name. It defines how we work.
The Right Solution for You based on 30+ Years of Experience.
We are a group of professionals who like nothing better than rolling up our sleeves and becoming part of your team. We have been Executive Directors, Board Members and Senior Development Officers. That experience enables us to ask the right questions so, together, we develop an effective fundraising strategy tailored to your needs.
FUNDRAISING SUCCESS IS THE PRODUCT OF TWO IMPORTANT INGREDIENTS — A SOUND STRATEGY ENACTED BY EXCELLENT LEADERS.

We look at the big picture first, focusing on organizational readiness, strategic alignment and leadership development, all pre-cursors to successful fundraising. The result? More money and a transformation within your organization to better the lives of those you serve.
