Our services
Our nonprofit engagements are tailored to meet the specific needs of each organization, whether through long-term fractional leadership roles such as Chief Operating Officer, Chief Executive Officer, or Chief Strategist, or through targeted, project-based operational expertise. We focus on creating sustainable impact by developing and executing strategic plans, improving processes, and guiding change management. We foster strategic partnerships and help mentor your teams with a trauma-informed, culturally attuned approach. Our services also include comprehensive program and financial management, expert grant writing and development planning, risk management, and compliance oversight. Additionally, we integrate technology to enhance efficiency, manage donor communications and media relations, and provide expert guidance on fiscal sponsorship, sponsored projects, and donor-advised funds.
Fractional leadership
We provide interim and permanent part-time nonprofit leadership, tailored to meet the unique needs of your organization. Many nonprofits may not require full-time leadership or need additional support as they scale. This allows you to invest in the specific expertise your budget allows. With over 20 years of experience in nonprofit management and consulting, we help grow your organization's infrastructure, programming, partnerships, and development while establishing a standard of excellence. Together, we amplify your impact and build a resilient, thriving organization.
Operational audits
An operational audit offers a deep dive into your organization's overall efficiency, focusing on key areas such as financial processes, governance, internal controls, program impact with a thorough review of existing documentation. We also evaluate partnerships with third-party vendors such as special event planners, fundraisers, and accountants to ensure common best practice are being followed. Through this comprehensive review, we identify areas for improvement, streamline operations, and provide tailored recommendations to enhance performance and ensure long-term sustainability.
Strategic planning and operational support
We are deeply committed to both developing strategic plans and implementing initiatives that advance your organization's mission. While strategic planning may be a key focus for some clients, we offer a flexible approach customized to each organization's unique needs. We create actionable roadmaps for success and can be engaged to assist with executing key initiatives when necessary. We also support the implementation of existing strategic plans, programming, and operational needs on a short-term basis. Whether your priority is long-term planning or specific project execution, we provide the expertise to ensure measurable results and sustainable growth.
SWOT analysis
We provide comprehensive SWOT analyses that not only evaluate your organization’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats but also consider broader economic, political, and industry-specific factors. This thorough assessment offers a clear understanding of both internal dynamics and external forces that may impact your organization. A SWOT analysis can serve as a crucial first step toward strategic planning or achieving operational excellence by identifying key areas for improvement and growth. Whether used on its own or as part of a larger strategic effort, this analysis equips your organization with the insights needed to navigate challenges and seize opportunities.
