Prominent New York City Hospital

BACKGROUND

In 2019, Changing Our World embarked on a partnership with one of the largest Hospitals in Brooklyn, a world-class care center that operates on the cutting edge of innovation, dedicated to providing exceptional, comprehensive care to the Brooklyn community and beyond. To expand its capabilities and advance its mission to provide exceptional care to the Brooklyn community, the hospital engaged Changing Our World to help identify potential philanthropic opportunities and develop the infrastructure needed to successfully pursue them.

CHALLENGE

Changing Our World worked with the hospital on the development and implementation of a comprehensive three-year development plan designed to serve as a blueprint for enhancing current development activities, as well as building out new sources for support.

In early 2020, New York City was hit hard by COVID-19, and hospitals faced unprecedented challenges as they worked to keep their staff and patients safe. Changing Our World pivoted to help the hospital’s team of development professionals raise funds for the hospital’s COVID-19 Response Fund and meet the needs of its community in a time of extraordinary demand.

SOLUTION

Together, the hospital and Changing Our World raised more than $1M for COVID-19 relief and have identified and activated an extensive major gift pipeline for capital, clinical and research initiatives. Additionally, Changing Our World planned and executed the transition of all fundraising events to virtual platforms, yielding a 50% increase in fundraising for the hospital’s keystone annual fundraiser.

Today, Changing Our World provides executive counsel to the hospital’s Chief Executive Officer, continuously identifying major gift prospects, long term potential corporate and individual partners, and refining the hospital’s overall major gifts strategy.
