About Vel Hux

Not knowing and learning step-by-step fundraising practices are costing you and money and peace of mind. You are ready for "Big Impact" fundraising...but it takes a lot of work to get there. As an experienced fundraising-ologist, I guide your current, stressed out fundraising efforts to extraordinary, repeatable success year after year!Here's how I like to work:Step 1: Diagnose quickly the problem holding back your fundraising.Step 2: Create a plan with a realistic timeline leading to the biggest fundraising years ever.Step 3: Execute the plan with practical tactics and critical feedback.Let's get busy raising more money for your fabulous nonprofit organization. I have worked with small teams and larger groups. You and I will review and brainstorm three key areas:1) Align your communications with your customized analytics. This will help you get the right message to the right people at the right time.2) Build your donor database through strong donor relationships. Your donor database will become your best friend. 3) Turn your mounds of chaotic communications into irresistible long-lasting fundraising solutions.You will see improved donor conversations, data management, fundraising strategies, and donor retention. In the past 25 years, I have developed and implemented four new corporate identities, spearheaded and completed the $2.3 million "Early Start...Future Success" capital campaign, and presented nationally and locally. Also, my nonprofit work generated funding and grant awards over $8.4 million for small to medium sized nonprofits.Testimonials:"Vel Hux is “a consummate professional.” Unique personal qualities she possesses include being an analyst, a lifelong learner, an organizer, a synthesizer, and having a positive can-do attitude."
