The Whelan Group (TWG). TWG is a leading private consulting firm that specializes in fostering strategic growth, strengthening the capital structure and creating long-term sustainability for our clients. Founded in 1980, the firm has worked intensively with more than 200 organizations with a regional, national or international reach. We have helped our clients to attract more than $1 billion in charitable support while building their fundraising capacity to raise billions more. In addition, the firm has advised over 60 clients on the development and financing of major building construction and renovation projects.
Our goal is "Institution Building" – helping our clients to secure the funding and build the fundraising engine they need to expand their asset base and to create long-term financial resources that enable them to deliver high quality programs and services. Serving as a strategic advisor to the Board and senior management of growth-stage nonprofits, TWG helps our clients to strengthen their voluntary leadership, design and implement dynamic fundraising campaigns, and to build the long-term fundraising and financial management capacity of their organizations. Through our social investments practice, TWG also provides assistance to social entrepreneurs and organizations that are seeking a social investing, venture philanthropy or blended capital approach to financing their growth.
