Board Development:
You don’t need a new board, but we can help your current Board can increase its effectiveness and lead your organization to the next level. We can help install a tailored development program designed by our consultants to improve skills and instill confidence. This critical aspect of running a nonprofit is often overlooked, in fact, according to a recent study, nonprofits spend the least amount of their effort on Board Development. The same study found that nonprofit leaders ranked board competency as second most valued Core Competency.

Communication & Marketing:

Organizational Transition:
Organizations are constantly changing. We can help you cope with these changes with our well-planned transition process to make sure everything proceeds smoothly and effectively.

Executive Transitions:
Who’s in charge of picking who’s in charge? According to a recent study only half of all nonprofits have a succession plan. Our consultants can provide guidance and direction whether your organization needs an interim executive director or other management staff, or assistance in executive recruitment.

Fundraising and Grant Writing:
Do you spend too much time raising funds and not enough time running your nonprofit? You aren’t alone. A recent survey showed the average nonprofit spends one-third of their time fundraising – more time than any other single activity. Although our consultants can develop and implement fundraising plans for your organization, we prefer to teach you and your staff the skills you need to successfully meet your funding goals.

Human Resources:
You’re building more than your team. You’re building your future. A recent survey showed that personnel and human resources are given the smallest part of the budget. Our consultants can assist you in recruiting and retaining qualified staff, in building effective work teams, and in personnel matters such as performance reviews, job descriptions, and salary schedules.
