Successful Nonprofits
OUR SERVICES
Our services are designed to help you and your nonprofit thrive
Experience a dynamic strategic planning process that engages your Board, staff, donors, funders, and constituents.
Our nonprofit consultants will guide your organization through a strategic planning process that achieves broad buy-in from key stakeholders and offers quantifiable benchmarks to measure progress. We’ll also check in with you quarterly through your first year of implementation to help you stay on track.
Whether your Board is fully engaged or fully absent, your organization will benefit from our Board development services provided by an experienced nonprofit consultant.
Even the strongest Boards seek to become more effective. For this reason, they consistently commit the time and resources for recruitment and onboarding campaigns, annual retreats, evaluations, and other development activities that will help them reach the next level.
Executive transitions can disrupt your organization’s progress (even if it’s carefully planned).
We can help your organization build a realistic succession plan before your chief executive leaves. We also offer interim executive director services for organizations with an immediate need for temporary staff leadership.
If you are a nonprofit professional committed to advancing your organization’s mission and your career, you should absolutely engage our coaching services.
Your coach will serve as a guide who has been where you want to go and taken others there. Our coaching services can help whether you are a first-time executive director, need an accountability partner while implementing a project, or are facing a crisis.
HOW WE HELP YOUR NONPROFIT
Your nonprofit will benefit from our consultants’ three-pronged approach to every engagement:
Data Focused
Data influences our recommendations and all of our work. This usually includes industry-specific data and information available through your finance office, fundraising department, and programs.
High Touch
While we love data, we also focus on the actual experience of people in your organization. We listen to the important voices of your staff, Board, clients, and donors.
Return On Investment
We structure all consulting engagements thinking about your return on investment. Because when your nonprofit hires a consultant, you should expect to get your money’s worth.
OUR CLIENT PARTNERS EXPERIENCE REAL CHANGE
As nonprofit consultants, we define our success by your results.
Many of our client partners have engaged us for a second and third project because they continue to get real results from each consulting engagement. In fact, our clients typically experience:
- Renewed Board, staff, and stakeholder commitment
- Strengthened relationships between the Board and chief executive
- Increased income from individuals and foundations
- Enhanced ability to withstand a crisis
- Reinforced sense of long-term goals and a plan for achieving them
But don’t just take our word for it! We’re pleased to share feedback from our client partners:
