GG+A Playbook
We Understand Your World
The perceptions and practice of philanthropy differ from place to place around the world: the historical and cultural norms that influence giving, the employment of professional fundraisers, the inclination or ability to invest in best-practice development programs, the etiquette of requesting gifts and stewarding donors.
During our decades of experience working with clients outside the United States, GG+A has acquired nuanced understanding of diverse philanthropic environments in Europe, Asia, Australia, Antarctica, and North and South America. At the same time, our clients have gained insights into the hallmarks of high-performing U.S. fundraising programs, which they have applied in ways that work best for their respective organizations.

Volunteers play several key roles within our organizations.
DownloadChallenges and Solutions
One of the most formidable challenges many of our non-U.S. clients face is the need to promote the habit of giving at institutions that used to be largely or entirely state-supported and in countries where private philanthropy is less prevalent. Another, at a very practical level, is the pressure to recruit and retain highly skilled fundraising staff in markets with consistent shortages of experienced talent. Also common at higher education institutions, we find, is the need for development professionals and academic leaders to learn how to collaborate on major-gift fundraising for best results.
Whatever the combination of factors, GG+A conducts data-based analysis and provides pragmatic guidance for implementing strategic recommendations.
The right tools, ideas, and partners help an institution achieve its vision.
