Our Services
Nonprofit consulting
From fundraising to storytelling to governance to program management, running a nonprofit presents a wide range of challenges. We specialize in assessing, improving, and growing nonprofits. We help nonprofit executives manage the endless demands on their time, boards improve their governance role, and staff ensure that their programs are operating at full efficiency.
Advocacy Campaigns
Getting the public policy results you want can be exceedingly difficult, especially in today’s political climate. We have years of experience and the results to prove it can still be done. We help you craft and run advocacy campaigns that maximize your chances of success. Our strengths include coalition design and management, media support, and direct lobbying and digital grassroots organizing.
Strategic Planning
Envisioning the future is complex, emotional work. We have helped multiple organizations define success and develop a vision that’s bold — and that’s grounded in reality. Let us assess the landscape in which you work and determine the strategies and tactics that will maximize the resources you bring to bear.
Implementation Planning
Strategic plans often end up collecting dust on shelves, are unintelligible, or may be seen as unimplementable. We work with you to identify, phase, prioritize, and resource strategies and tactics. Steps include resource mapping, budgeting, work planning, hiring planning, work planning, and developing measurement tools. Implementation-oriented engagements challenge clients, hold them accountable to their stated goals, and lead to success.
Fractional Leadership
We apply our years of experience as executive director and nonprofit managers to provide a steady hand to organizations and teams as they navigate change. Interim executives act as a bridge while transitions such as sudden departures, personal leave, or planned transitions occur. Our experience allows us to keep the proverbial trains running, while addressing challenges, filling gaps, and managing crises while permanent staffing solutions are being settled. Our experience allows us to seamlessly take the reins, always with an eye toward leaving things in a better condition than we found them.
Organizational Development
Growth poses opportunities and risks to nonprofits. Our consulting on strategy, vision, structure, communications, and fundraising, rooted in deep management expertise, allows nonprofit to leverage change and make informed decisions. No two organizations are alike, so we never use cookie cutter approaches to problem solving. We develop individualized recommendations that balance practical needs within complex, passionate workplaces.
