CONSULTING SERVICES
DEVELOPMENT CONSULTING
Money is hard, and there’s a lot of fear out there around “the ask.” However, what we see is the opportunity to get creative. We’ll empower your teams to uncover your organization’s uniqueness so you can tap into traditional revenue streams, as well as outliers you might not have considered before. Development isn’t a one-size-fits all activity, and we’ll help you create an approach that’s as distinctive as the organization you run.
Services can include:
-
Grant planning and writing
-
Events centered around fundraising (Inperson and Virtual)
-
Mail Appeals (snail mail and digital)
-
Short term and long term Development planning
-
Creating or revamping operational best practices
STRATEGIC CONSULTING
Strategic planning allows your organization to establish a north star, one that puts you and your team on the same path toward living out your mission. It also asks you to step out of your day-to-day operations and take an eagle eye’s view so you can see where you want to go over the next two years, five years—and beyond. At the end of the day, once you put the work in, you’re putting yourself in a proactive position so you can feel confident that your team’s day-to-day work is contributing to your long-term goals and success.
Services can include:
-
Staff and Board strategic visioning sessions
-
1:1 Consulting
NONPROFIT PROGRAM DESIGN
Programming and services are the heart and soul of your organization. It’s why people give. It’s why people work for your organization, and it’s probably what drew you to this organization in the first place. It’s a direct reflection of the organization’s mission, and it’s through programming and services that you create your impact.
Services can include:
-
Organizations in their beginning programming stages who need support defining and refining their specific programs and services.
-
Organizations who have existing programs and services they want to refine, expand or build upon. It’s about analyzing what you already have, and building upon what you already do well.
-
Organizations who need to pivot or make significant changes to their programming—either for the short term or the long term—without losing the heart of their work.
BOARD DEVELOPMENT / TEAM & LEADERSHIP COACHING
Navigating boards in the nonprofit world can be challenging. While boards share the commonality of fiduciary responsibilities to the organization, they can all function and look slightly different from each other. Even though boards have the same overall goals, they can all function and look very different from each other. Some meet once a quarter, some meet every month, and some are working boards. Your board can set the tone for whether or not the organization makes it, and yet many organizations overlook the importance of their board.
Services can include:
-
Guidance for new boards, including defining roles and responsibilities.
-
Board recruitment and succession planning.
-
Re-energizing and restructuring your board to avoid burnout.
-
Strategic visioning workshops
-
Board and Staff Retreats
-
Help boards of directors clarify and deliver their organization’s mission, visions, and strategic plans
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY CONSULTING
We’re not leveraging business enough to maximize the amount of good we could be doing in the world. Corporate social responsibility consulting explores this idea. We work with for-profit companies to figure out the right point of entry that’s aligned with your company goals and your bottom-line considerations. Every company has their sweet spot for giveback—employee volunteer days, donation matching programs, environmental impact through supply chain, grant-giving programs and more. We’ll help you find the most effective way to do good in your community—or amplify the programs you currently have in place.
Services can include:
-
Review and recommendations to enhance current initiatives
-
Start up initiatives - exploring and planning to start giveback from scratch
-
Community alignment and project planning/management
