Savannah Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus

Situation

The Savannah Philharmonic (SavPhil), emboldened by a new artistic director and administrative leadership, had set forth a bold vision to reimagine an orchestra uniquely embedded in its community. However, preceding years of patron and donor volatility left them without the resources to move forward. RSC Associates was engaged to help rebuild SavPhil’s fundraising program as the bedrock of a sustainable revenue model.

Result

After engaging RSC’s Virtual Fundraising Coach™ for twelve months, the Savannah Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus increased their total contributed revenue by 20% year-over-year. Together, RSC Associates and the Savannah Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus established fundraising best-practices that had measurable outcomes. RSC helped activate the Board and volunteers, streamlining tactics to prioritize high leverage high return activities.

What the Client Said

“The SavPhil has seen significant success in working with RSC. Due to implementing a strategic development plan, we have been able to surpass goal through increasing both our major gifts and broad base of donors by 20%.”
