A Direct Solution was started in 2003 by Erica Waasdorp, answering the need for an experienced agency at consultancy prices.
Since then, we’ve worked with non-profit organizations in a variety of ways, through a mixture of project rates, hourly rates, or retainers, depending upon the needs of the client and budgetary constraints.
A Direct Solution is registered as Fundraising Counsel in all states that require this.

A Direct Solution provides direct marketing and fundraising solutions that translate into core management strategies and provide the foundation for achieving and sustaining your business objectives.
We have extensive general and specialized direct marketing and fundraising experience, particularly in monthly giving. This includes consulting on marketing, database, payment, online requirements, back-office process and accounting and reporting. In addition, we consult on international fundraising campaigns. Finally, we’re well versed in annual fund appeals, membership, direct mail or telemarketing campaigns, major and planned gifts and database conversion and analysis projects.
A Direct Solution has extensive experience with international fundraising and its executives understand the intricacies of successfully implementing campaigns.
Based upon the experience and needs of the client, A Direct Solution can put a training program together and execute this within an entire organization or for individual chapters or departments.
Annual Fund, Membership, Major Gift and Planned Giving direct response campaigns include prospect or membership acquisition, direct mail and Thank You letters.
A Direct Solution is not like the typical agency with a large overhead and pre-assigned staff.
We will tap into an extensive group of professionals with expertise in online and social media management, mobile giving, face-to-face, telemarketing, and crowd funding, among others. A Direct Solution is also comfortable working with client preferred partners.
What this means for you is that it allows us:
This youth organization in Colorado reach out to A Direct Solution to ask for help with it’s first email appeal asking its donors to join their newly developed recurring donor program.
Our first recommendation was to develop a special targeted page so we could link the email directly to this page. Our second recommendation was to find a donor to provide a challenge gift. The organization found a generous donor who was willing to put up a $5,000 challenge to create extra motivation for a new monthly donors to join.
We then helped them craft the email message which was sent out in the Spring to a targeted email list of donors and volunteers who had given less than $100 previously. We also knew that they made gifts by credit card before, so they were prime prospects for monthly giving.
If you’d like me to help you with your monthly donor program or if you have any questions, simply email or call me at (508)776-1224.
