In December 2005 Chord Partners was formed to provide services to the corporate and non-profit sectors with a focus on impacting organizational growth, revenue and resources. Chord is a multi-faceted company whose members have decades of expertise in designing strategies and tactics for business development.

Chord has confirmed that the private and non-profit sectors face many of the same challenges – issues related to markets, customers, donor segments and brands transcend the line between the two.

The Chord team has a broad range of experience in all facets of fundraising, donor and client acquisition, donor and client management, public relations, marketing, sales and distribution strategies, partnership and business development, and finally, fundamental business planning and tactical implementation.

Our experience on both sides of the for-profit and non-profit line provides us with a unique and balanced perspective. Our niche is in aligning charitable giving with business strategies to maximize relationships and grow revenue. The partners were instrumental in building the fundraising, revenue and partnership strategies for one of the world's largest and most recognized charities, the American Red Cross. During their tenure, billions of dollars were raised in support of the organization's life-saving mission.

Chord also recognizes that relationships between the private and nonprofit sectors are important to the general health and well being of both. Relationships and alliances between the sectors must transcend the transactional model and evolve to become true partnerships that provide measurable value to all parties. We work with companies to develop giving strategies that have a positive impact on addressable markets, customer perception, employee morale and business goals and objectives.
