The Details
Nonprofit Consulting
With over 40 years in educational leadership and nonprofit administration, we are here to help you get started, reset, or recover your organization.
Start Ups: Are you setting up a new nonprofit, or are you within the first five years of operation? Processes and policies are critical to the success of your organization. Let us help you establish those guardrails to ensure your success.
Resets: Has your nonprofit stagnated, or perhaps gone off the rails? Maybe it drifted too far from its original mission. Perhaps you've just lost the founding leader, or you are transitioning from an operational board to a fundraising board. We can help recenter your mission and programs to fit today's realities.
Strategic Planning: A solid mission, vision, and values framework guides present and future programmatic goals and philanthropic strategies. This work is designed to meet your organization where you are and help direct you into the next phase of development.
Organizational Leadership: An executive needs to lead objectively with compassion. A board needs to support the mission, outreach and fundraising goals of the organization. Sometimes these entities do not align. Facilitation of solution oriented trouble-shooting, executive coaching, and/or succession forecasting can ensure the nonprofit thrives.
Grant Management
Research, writing and/or facilitation of your organization's grant portfolio to ensure gifts are spent correctly and stewarded appropriately.
Research: Finding the "right fit" funders for your organization's mission.
Writing: Proposal development in partnership with leadership.
Facilitation: Putting processes in place for staff to collect data necessary to meet funder reporting objectives.
Reporting and Stewardship: Timely reporting and funder communication strategies.
Philanthropic Advising
Ensuring philanthropic intention is met by helping to solve community challenges.
Do you or your family have a passion for helping others, but don't know where to begin? Are you a nonprofit serving unmet needs in your community, but have no idea where to turn for additional support? Matching these interrelated objectives is core to the work we do.
Research: Finding the match between community needs and philanthropic intent.
Individual and Family Consultation: Match philanthropic goals with the correct vehicles from which to give, providing long term stability while honoring the desire to make a difference.
Gift Facilitation: You've pledged to causes you care about. Now what? Ensuring those funds are spent as intended requires follow up and follow through. Our services give you peace of mind knowing that someone is doing that footwork for you.
