Project Summary CPJ invites qualified consultants to submit proposals to support the growth and diversification of its fundraising program.

Growth Readiness Assessment: Advise on how CPJ’s development team, partnerships, and resources can be best positioned to support the next phase of fundraising growth, including recommendations on where to invest, consolidate, or evolve current approaches. Prospect Research: Identify a target list of new prospective funders across foundations, corporations, and individual donors that align with CPJ’s mission.
