The founding Principals of Solutions to Success Consulting, LLC are P. Alan Knobloch, CFRE and Michele M. Rebeor. They have more than 60 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.
With more than ten years of consulting experience, 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.
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, then 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 you 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 Woman & Philanthropy program, she coaches nonprofits on integrating strategies that recognize the escalating and transformational role women have on society through their philanthropy.
Alan and Michele have melded complimentary experience, knowledge, and skills to form a highly effective team that will guide your campaign to success! Many consultants know how to do capital campaigns, but they know how to get it done.
