Campaign Planning,
Assessment & Management
The new momentum of campaigning calls for new ways to campaign. Today's campaigns embrace a more expansive case to advance innovation, community health and clinical programs. To respond to this changing environment and to harness the potential of new opportunities, we have redesigned our approach to campaigning to be more agile in an evolving health care environment and more integrated with existing development and communications initiatives.
Accordant’s comprehensive approach to grateful engagement and clinician partnership focuses on six pillars and ensures integration with every aspect of the development organization’s existing philanthropy program. Our comprehensive and agile framework enables a strategic, focused effort aligned with the strategic vision of the health care organization and is tailored to support your unique issues and opportunities.

Children's Health Care
We know children aren't just small adults. Children's hospitals and other health care providers are built around the needs of children with specialized services, programs and equipment. Just like the kids need specialized care, children's health care philanthropy require specialized support, services and understanding.
At Accordant, we have built a specialized children's service and team to meet the needs of children's hospitals and health care. Our team understands the nuances of grateful families vs grateful patients, we know how to build campaigns and donor messaging around Child Life, research and the healing environment. Collectively, our children's team has decades of front-line experience and can tailor their efforts to meet your specific needs. Our children's offerings include:

Community Health
Advancing well-being requires different ways of thinking about the hospital’s role in its community. Increasingly, hospitals are proactively moving upstream to address patients’ social needs and to help address systematic social determinants of health, such as food security, housing, safe neighborhoods and more. Health care organizations cannot improve population health alone, but must do so in partnership with the communities they serve. Authentic collaboration with community-based organizations is needed to advance health equity for all.
Accordant is positioned to assist health care and other community anchor organizations in assessing, designing and elevating agile community partnerships to advance this important work.
