  • Why have you said, “Welcome to Our Jungle”?
    We compare fundraising and communications to the jungle because we are aware of how the unexpected can arise and how hard it can be to survive and thrive in the trenches while braving the vast elements. We also recognize the beauty within the jungle, hence the big cat. You have multiple priorities, unrealistic timelines, and endless meetings in your business, continually eating up your time and energy. We help you get this back by attacking your challenges, so you don’t have to stress over them.

Fundraising isn’t just about programs and services; it’s about results. At Pounce Support Services, we help charities move beyond documenting what they do to defining why it matters.
