Our Services

What would it take for your organization to be more effective and efficient in achieving great impact? We will work with you to clarify and articulate your strategic vision and help you build the roadmap to get there. We provide facilitation and tools to hone your mission, vision, and core values; facilitate engaging board and staff retreats, and conduct stakeholder interviews.

Every nonprofit has areas of strength and opportunity. Strategic organizational development begins with a comprehensive assessment and then layers on needed support which may include foundational document revision, community engagement strategy, board development, financial planning, resource development, or marketing and communications support. We collaborate with organizational leadership and customize our services to strengthen your organization in order to more effectively serve your mission.

Partnerships with businesses, civic organizations and other nonprofits can provide immense benefits, but it can be challenging to determine the right partners and approach them effectively. We offer a menu of options including identifying your ideal strategic partners, crafting tailored collaborations, reaching out on your behalf, negotiating agreements and nurturing ongoing relationships–resulting in thriving partnerships that deliver maximum value.

Whether you are preparing for a board retreat, staff retreat, stakeholder focus group, or just a difficult conversation, we will work with you to identify the intended outcomes and design and facilitate an experience that leaves all participants feeling valued, engaged, and heard. Strategic facilitation turns a meeting into a productive and focused session that gets results.

We are experts in building strong and engaged boards and the governance structure that best leverages their time and talent in support of your mission. We will assist you in developing policies, committee structures, and charters. We build board member capacity by conducting personalized training on a variety of topics related to fundraising, governance, and leadership succession.

The foundation of your organization is your identity, yet it often remains static and overlooked, even as your organization changes over time. Each component of your identity serves a different purpose, but together form the backbone for strategy and decision-making. We offer a collaborative and interactive three-step process to ensure your mission, vision, and core values are clear, current, compelling, and accessible to both internal and external stakeholders.

A strong resource development strategy and plan are at the heart of every thriving nonprofit. We will work with you to assess your existing resource development strategies and tactics, identifying opportunities for further growth. From annual funds to special events to planned giving, we can provide you with the tools, knowledge, and infrastructure needed to expand your resource development capacity.

A nonprofit is only as strong as its leadership. Is your nonprofit ready for a planned or unplanned leadership transition? Ensuring the stability of your organization during times of change is critical. We will work with you to develop a comprehensive leadership succession plan that will keep your organization strong and steady and work with you to identify and hire your next visionary leader.

Are you considering starting a new non-profit or breathing life into one that is struggling? Together we can explore the feasibility of the many options and alternatives to accomplish your philanthropic goals. If a start-up is right for you, we can support you in building a strong foundation from the ground up, aligned with best practices from the nonprofit sector.
