The founding Principals of Synergy Philanthropy are Alan Knobloch, CFRE and Michele M. Rebeor, CFRE. They have more than 70 years of successful development experience in the Arizona nonprofit sector. Their array of proficiency and practice offers clients a rare level of comprehensive insight to guide most professional fundraising activities.
Alan and Michele have worked with large and small organizations, from education to healthcare, and social services to faith-based communities, bringing them to new heights of participation and growth. Their range of development roles provides the perspective of both the donor and the organization, expanding their experience and understanding of the need for mutually beneficial strategies.
Alan and Michele combined their independent practices in 2022 after more than a year of successfully partnering as a team on client projects. Having known each other for 30 years and crossing paths regularly through service on the Greater AZ Chapter’s Association of Fundraising Professionals Board and different nonprofit environments, they have found their experience and skill sets to be very complimentary - most say...Synergistic!
We don't consider consulting simply as implementing traditional practices or template-based coaching. Our approach is to develop customized strategies that consider each client’s current resources of staff, dollars, experience, and skill. What works for one does not always work for the other. We recognize the need to listen first and adapt to what each client brings to the table.
Our business mindset is grounded in ethical, fair, customized personal services to nonprofit clients. We seek to help them extend their ability to be truly effective in serving nonprofits as a team. We are selective in the number of clients we take on at once, so each receives the time and guidance they deserve.
Call us today if you’re seeking a strategic alliance with the right partner or a unique skill set or tool. Together, we’ll create and refine your fundraising plan for success.
Alan specializes in major and planned gift strategies that support sustainability in nonprofits. As a former principal gift officer for multiple organizations, he understands portfolio development, moves management, cultivation, and solicitation strategies, and the organizational structures necessary to sustain those efforts over time.
Michele specializes in donor engagement strategies and maximizing relationships for greater retention and efficiency. Additionally, after more than a decade of rare hands-on experience leading a Women & Philanthropy program, she coaches nonprofits on integrating strategies that recognize the escalating and transformational role women have on society through their philanthropy.
"Michele and Alan led Family Promise through a campaign planning study and into a multi-million-dollar campaign. Their partnership with us was critical as our organization had never done a capital campaign before. Their leadership and hands-on guidance were critical to our success. Perhaps most important was their passion for our mission. It was sincere and authentic, and that became visible to the volunteers we recruited to the effort, as well as to the staff that was involved. Their ability to complement each other's skill set along with a great deal of energy, commitment, and follow up were a winning formula for our campaign."
Don Henninger, Scottsdale Coalition of Today & Tomorrow
"I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional service provided by Synergy Philanthropy. Michele and Alan, with their extensive nonprofit experience and expertise, went above and beyond to tailor their approach to meet the specific needs of my organization. Their professionalism, knowledge, adaptability, and hands-on approach were truly impressive. It was evident that they were not only skilled at what they do, but also genuinely passionate about making a positive impact for the community we serve. I highly recommend Synergy Philanthropy to any organization in need of strategic and effective philanthropic consulting."
Lisa Masters, Founder/CEO, Autism Life and Living
"Alan and Michele have melded complimentary experience, knowledge, and skill to form a highly effective team that will guide your campaign to success! Many consultants know how to do capital campaigns, but Synergy Philanthropy knows how to get it done. "
Keith Kerber, Vice President, Honor Health Foundation
"We hired Synergy Philanthropy to educate my organization regarding donors and how to ask. We received years of education and feel as if the knowledge they imparted was the best. Not only did they educate those involved, but they also helped to organize us to accept more and better donations. It was a wonderful experience."
Robert Siamon, President, Temple Solel Endowment Foundation
"Alan and Michelle worked hard to get us the help we needed, including being flexible in adjusting the scope of work as needed, too. They are both very intelligent, accommodating, easy to work with, and know what needs to be done to achieve success."
Jodi Polanski, Executive Director, Lost Our Home
"I have appreciated having Alan and Michele as part of our philanthropy team at CGSUSA. We are a small nonprofit, and I am the only staff person whose primary focus is philanthropy, and I'm only part-time. It helps me immensely to have a sounding board for ideas, extra eyes on our campaign materials, and extremely savvy philanthropy minds to help brainstorm the best ways to engage with our donors. Alan and Michele helped us navigate our transition to a new fundraising CRM and use it to better understand our philanthropy opportunities. They have also pushed us to be bold in our fundraising goals because they help us see the potential we have to grow our philanthropic support."
Erin Miller, Stewardship Coordinator, Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
"Great in providing guidance and training. Also, in keeping efforts focused and on track, as well as working within our schedule."
Perry Simons, Trustee, Temple Solel & TS Foundation
Understanding where donors are in their personal life-cycle and engaging with intention and effort, has a huge impact on reducing donor churn, a costly and often unmeasured element of nonprofit fundraising and development. Synergy Philanthropy elaborates on how to drop the churn rate and give everyone a 'philanthropic wand'.
