Echoing Green When Echoing Green set out to scale its operating model, leadership partnered with Orr Group to design and launch a transformative funding campaign tailored for high-capacity, impact-minded donors. Our team embedded directly within Echoing Green’s executive operations to establish a venture-focused fundraising strategy. We evaluated their existing donor infrastructure, built a multi-year growth framework designed to appeal to sophisticated philanthropists, and created an updated case for support. On a larger scale, our team also implemented systematic prospect management workflows to convert emerging prospective donors into long-term funding partners. This strategy generated the transformative momentum Echoing Green needed. The initiative raised over $75 million in under three years—including two eight-figure contributions, the largest single gifts in the organization’s history—and doubled Echoing Green’s annual operating revenue.
