Case Study: iMentor Chicago strengthens fundraising and messaging with Prosper Strategies

iMentor Chicago reaches within $1M of its $22M goal with Prosper Strategies

iMentor Chicago engaged Prosper Strategies at a strategic crossroads. The nonprofit mentorship organization aimed to dramatically scale its programs but needed to articulate its vision and build a compelling case for support to reach a $22 million fundraising goal. Prosper Strategies applied its Nonprofit Strategy System and Shared Power Strategy philosophy to address these core challenges of messaging, donor targeting, and financial modeling.

Prosper Strategies conducted stakeholder and ecosystem research, which solidified iMentor Chicago's reason for being around advancing racial equity through reciprocal mentorship. The vendor developed a new messaging platform, conducted donor profiling and foundation targeting, and created a clear model for the fundraising goal. As a result of this partnership, and as noted in their latest available reporting, iMentor Chicago was less than $1 million short of achieving its $22 million revenue target.
