• Do you accept to be compensated according to a percentage of contributions or by commission?

No. As a member of professional associations (AFP, APGP and CAGP ), Diversa does not accept compensation in these forms. These associations adhere to the Professional Code of Ethics which stipulates that members cannot accept compensation based on a percentage of contributions; no serious consultant will accept to do so. In addition, Diversa Consultants abides by Imagine Canada’s Code of Ethics.

Our honoraries are calculated according to tailor-made services agreed upon with the client. A written mutual agreement will specify the requested services and related honoraries. This will let the client know in advance the cost of a campaign or any other service required.

• We’re a small organization with very little financial resources to pay a fundraising professional. How can we have access to your services?

Diversa is very sensitive to this reality. However, to raise money an organization must invest money. In order to remedy this, Diversa will find a payment solution for the organization to benefit from its expertise.

• Do you only work with large organizations?

No. In fact Diversa has built a reputation of working with small organizations that generally cannot afford a full-time employee dedicated to fundraising. Our services are very well adapted to the reality and needs of small non-profits.
