FOR THE CANCER FOUNDATION OF SASKATCHEWAN

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Thank you for this opportunity to provide a response to your Request for Proposal for the Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan’s donor engagement centres.

We are inspired by your commitment to patient care and comfort, supporting cancer research, high dose rate brachytherapy and supporting exceptional cancer care for Saskatchewans.

Your philanthropic partners believe in that same vision. They are investing in the continuous advancement of compassionate care that your centres and programs provide.

Celebrating the philanthropic investment made by your donors may be the primary purpose of these new donor engagement centres but we know they can do so much more than that. Of course, they will celebrate philanthropy in a beautiful, meaningful way but they will also communicate the transformational impact of the Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan and the work that is being done.

As a fundraising and stewardship tool, your donor engagement centres will help you retain donors, grow philanthropic revenue, engage critical stakeholder groups, and provide you with messages that you can migrate across all your communication channels. All this results in the further enhancement of your philanthropic culture.

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your Request for Proposal. We hope the following information is helpful as you choose your partner.

OUR UNDERSTANDING OF

YOUR PROJECT

Your aspirations are inspiring. We would be privileged to partner with you to make them come to life. We understand the project would have two donor engagement centres in two different locations.

Saskatoon Cancer Centre

Allan Blair Cancer Centre

The donor engagement centres’ primary purpose will be to recognize and celebrate your philanthropic partners who share your vision. It is our understanding that you want to accomplish this and more by skillfully integrating donor recognition, design, and storytelling in a hybrid mix of digital and static (what we call Brook Easy Change) systems.

Your donor wall engagement centres will communicate the impact of philanthropic investment by creating an exceptional donor experience in storytelling by specifically communicating the impact of philanthropy on care. At the same time, it will clearly link philanthropic investment to your ability to provide even better care in the future.

By doing this, you will not only be able to provide an exceptional donor experience but you will have a powerful tool that helps you accelerate the trajectory of success in your philanthropic program even more.

Helping Saskatchewans.

In creating innovative engagement systems to inspire donors, BrookGlobal takes an evidence-based approach reinforced by deep experience and a broad knowledge base from everyone at #TeamBrook.

DISCOVERY

The purpose of the Discovery Phase is to ensure that we understand the strategic objectives and aspirations you have for your philanthropic program and that the plan for the donor wall recognition systems fits into those objectives. This ensures that everything we co-create with you is capable of being a tool to help drive the growth and awareness of the important work your foundation does.

The Discovery Phase concludes after we’ve drafted two working documents with you – Major Objectives of the Project and What Does Success Look Like? We review and affirm those documents in the next phase – the Strategy Phase. 

STRATEGY

The Strategy Phase is when we take all we learned in the Discovery Phase and develop strategies to ensure your project achieves as many strategic objectives as possible.

In addition, we work with you to confirm your aspirations related to viewer experience, then use this knowledge to create strategies to impact the design of your display. This ensures that the design can optimally communicate your appreciation of your donors now, and remain a relevant, impactful, philanthropic tool for years to come.

DESIGN

The Design Phase is when everything begins to take shape. It is in this phase that we work with you to make the transition from ideas and concepts to actual drawings, illustrations, or documents that become real.

We have enormous experience in orchestrating this process to produce a result that uniquely reflects your aspirations, hopes, and dreams. In addition, we ensure you end up with powerful tools to help drive and sustain growth in your philanthropic program, speak to all audiences, enhance your culture, and provide critical messages you can migrate across all communication channels.

IMPLEMENTATION

The Implementation Phase is exactly what the name implies. It is the phase when the display is built, tested, and installed. We bring our vast construction and engineering experience to this process and can navigate unforeseen challenges or last-minute changes needed.

Our attention to detail and commitment to quality ensure that your display is a long-lasting tool for your department. We have received numerous accolades from hospital and university facility offices for our installers’ professionalism and capabilities. We understand that we are visitors to your facility, and we do everything we can to honor and respect that environment.
