Building a foundation for success.

The Italian verb "fondare" (pronounced FUN-DAR) means "to found" or "to establish."

Building a team or a mission involves establishing a foundation that guides its actions, decisions, and meaningful impact. It's about creating a clear sense of purpose and direction.

Fondare Strategies believes in the power of relationship-focused fundraising. In an ever-changing fundraising landscape, patience, persistence and relationship building are essential for sustainable fundraising success. Fondare Strategies help organizations strategically leverage their talents and resources, build forward-thinking and resilient development strategies, demonstrate real impact and create authentic, personal connections with funders that result in long-term support and engagement.
