BWF Zuri is the nonprofit sector’s most comprehensive fundraising consulting firm, helping organizations thrive in a rapidly changing landscape. As donor participation declines, competition for attention intensifies, campaign goals get larger, and technology and AI continue to reshape engagement, nonprofits need partners who can deliver both vision and execution. That’s BWF Zuri.
We support every stage of the donor and donation journey, from the systems and programs that power engagement to the communications and strategies that inspire philanthropy, to the expertise required to secure transformational gifts and deliver exceptional donor experiences.
By combining deep industry expertise, innovative methodologies, and specialized talent, BWF Zuri helps organizations strengthen fundraising performance, deepen donor relationships, and create lasting impact in a new era of philanthropy.
BWF Zuri was established in 2026 by combining the two established companies of Bentz, Whaley, Flessner, and Associates and Zuri Group.
