“Our partner since 2010, Blueprint has played a key role in The Bushnell’s ability to more than double our Annual Fund in the last five years through both their extraordinary work in Telefunding and their guidance and support in all aspects of our fundraising effort. Blueprint has a breadth and depth of experience and knowledge across a diversity of non-profits that enables them to provide key insight and strategic assistance as we work to achieve significant growth year after year. With their support, The Bushnell is poised to continue its upward trajectory in our Annual Fund program.”

“Performing arts patrons are a special breed, comprised of people that require a particular level of professionalism, creativity and gravitas when communicating to. I want to be sure that when our sales leads are being recruited and solicited, we treat these individuals with special care. We need to communicate to patrons according to where they are at in their experience with our client’s performances - either as a fresh, new patron who has never experienced our art form, to the long-standing contributor who has seen countless performances around the world. This requires great strategy and a complete understanding of how to successfully convert a variety of individuals to support our clients. Luckily, I have had the great fortune to partner with Paul Larson and his team for several of our clients. Paul brings an innate understanding of what it means to talk to patrons one on one, and brings a special insight as we create and implement campaigns together. I’ve turned to him many times with ever increasingly successful results.”

Blueprint has continually met and exceeded goals for our annual telefunding campaigns, bringing in new donors and inspiring renewal donors to increase their gifts. The team is responsive to requests and very attentive, and continually learns about our organization to best share our mission with patrons."

“It was my distinct pleasure to have worked with Paul Larson. He is a visionary and someone who gets-the-job-done with minimal angst and a light touch! His artistic, social and business acumen are evenly matched.”

“I have worked with Blueprint for over 10 years at several different organizations. I have always been impressed by certain characteristics that set them apart from their competitors:  first, everyone at Blueprint is very knowledgeable about your specific organization and campaign and they can each offer insight from their particular area of expertise--from data management to donor motivation; second, your campaign team from Blueprint has a depth of knowledge from their work all over the country that gives them insight to help your organization grow and implement new ideas; and third, their reports/data analysis are practically real-time so together you can work with them to make immediate adjustments to suit your patrons and your specific city or culture. I have always felt like Blueprint is part of the development team but with a global picture--their work has increased numbers and percentages at every organization I have hired them for.”

“We love getting to partner with the Blueprint team on our fundraising efforts. Everyone we work with truly makes us feel like we’re on the same team, working toward the same goal, and always share the same priorities. The focus they’re able to provide full stop to fundraising for memberships helps us develop and maintain strong and personal relationships with donors. We’ve been working together for over a decade, and throughout it all – membership program changes, show changes, pandemics, natural weather disasters, the Blueprint team is with us every step of the way to change and shift our fundraising needs as it makes sense for the people we serve. I’ll never forget when they reached a patron who was going through a hard time during the pandemic, and they made sure to share that info with us, so we could check in and take extra great care of this person who lived on their own. This isn’t just business – it’s relationships and connections.”
