Since 1994, the Fremont Development Group has used its exclusive methodologies to help raise the vision and funds for Chambers, non-profits, and economic development organizations across the United States. Our uniquely successful fundraising models are built on decades of innovation and experience by our founders, Gerald L. Bartels and Neil G. Mabry.

Having served as chief executive officers or senior staff members of leading chambers of commerce including Atlanta, Jacksonville, Charlotte, Greenville, Macon and Norfolk, they applied their success to other chambers and non-profits.

Throughout its history, Fremont has developed a sterling reputation among its clients and peers. We have raised over $250 million for clients and have received the highest rating (“Proven Opportunity”) from the American Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE) as a fundraising consultant.  With more than 200 successful campaigns conducted, we have the experience to help you.

Yet, our approach today is the same as when we started.  We assist clients in developing a new vision, involving diverse stakeholders, and planning for the future.  As a result, our clients are able to generate the revenue they need to accomplish their missions.

 


Every non-profit organization, regardless of its mission, seeks to address the most difficult problems with the fewest resources.  Given the enormous challenges our clients face each day, Fremont's focus is to provide assistance and resources to make our clients self sufficient. 

Our vision and mission guide us every day to serve our clients.

  • OUR VISION  - a world where non-profits can accomplish their missions without the worry of financial constraints.

  • OUR mission  - to help clients develop the financial resources required to provide real leadership in their communities.
