The Evidence
TAG delivers institutional-caliber expertise for approximately 50% of the cost of a full-time hire and roughly 20% of the cost of a traditional consulting firm — while integrating systems that outlast the engagement.
Compare the investment in TAG versus traditional alternatives — and see why the ROI speaks for itself.
| Option | Annual Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional Stewardship Firm | ~$300,000/year | No executive strategy, no major gift support |
| Full-Time Development Director | ~$100,000/year | Salary + benefits, single skillset, management overhead |
| TAG-Solutions Comprehensive | $48,000–$84,000/year | Full program execution + systems |
| TAG-Strategies Fractional | $36,000–$72,000/year | C-suite development leadership + strategy |
Unlike traditional offertory programs that create brief surges—sometimes 20–30% in a single weekend—TAG builds structural revenue improvement that compounds — typical 12-month offertory gains of 8–46%, sustained rather than spiked. By aligning leadership, messaging, and parish systems, TAG generates consistent, compounding offertory growth rather than temporary peaks.
Capital campaigns supported by TAG consistently exceed typical diocesan benchmarks, pairing the preparation rigor of traditional campaign consulting with fractional leadership that keeps momentum building long after the public phase ends. TAG's approach has been validated across multiple campaign types:
Historic building projects, ADA upgrades, new construction and expansion
Parish school renovations, technology upgrades, endowment campaigns
Long-term sustainability funds, legacy campaigns, planned giving integration
Offertory stabilization, recurring giving programs, digital giving transformation
