Nonprofit Services

Whether you’re trying to up your annual fund, raise millions for a new building, increase your endowment, or diversify your funding sources, we can help you reach your goal.

We work with nonprofits large and small, organizations run by people who care deeply about their mission. With our help, they strengthen their boards, create workable budgets, increase public awareness, and raise project and operating funds.

We can work with you on a short-term basis or provide full-service fundraising counsel throughout an entire campaign. Could we talk about how we can make your organization more effective? Together, we can help you develop the skills, strategies, and funding you need to make the difference you envision.

Some of the Services that we offer:

Strategic Planning: If you don’t know where you want to be as an organization in five years, you are unlikely to get there. We can help you envision your desired future and outline the steps you need to take to achieve it.

Executive Search: Whether you are looking for a new Director of Development or Executive Director, We support all aspects of attracting, vetting, interviewing, hiring, and onboarding your next executive. We develop job descriptions, help advertise the position, screen and rank applications, organize and coach the search committee, draft interview questions, and guide post-interview communications.

Board Development: Boards and committees provide volunteer leadership and vital resources to the nonprofit sector. We can help strengthen your board by providing training on their role as fundraisers, how to establish board and committee structures that keep the focus on strategically important work and attract new members, and how to partner with professional staff to foster a culture of innovation and excellence.

Campaign Planning: Nervous about starting a big campaign? We will assess your likelihood of success, where the money will come from, and the volunteers who will help you achieve it. We have completed many capital campaign planning and feasibility studies for organizations ranging from start-ups to well-established organizations. Each project is tailored to address key issues and to counsel senior staff and volunteer leadership in the best practices required for a successful campaign.

Campaign Management: We provide the guidance, encouragement, organization, and materials you need to successfully launch, run, and complete a major campaign.

Audits: If you feel like you’re in a bit of a rut and nothing is working anymore, you need a fresh perspective. We offer an informed assessment of your fundraising effort’s strengths and weaknesses and recommend practical steps you can take to increase your fundraising revenue.

Communications: Are you utilizing all of your digital platforms to their fullest potential? Your audience will remember 95% of your message (vs. 10% from any text), spend 88% more time on your website if it has video content, and are far more likely to take concrete action after viewing. From strategy to story to production and, most importantly, donor engagement once you've hit "upload," we'll help you harness the power of video to reach your goals.

Interim or long-term Executive Director: Hiring an executive director is one of the most important decisions any nonprofit board will make. The hiring process takes, on average, three to six months. Increasingly, nonprofit boards are recognizing the value an experienced Interim Executive Director or long-term Executive Director can provide during this transition. We can guide your nonprofit through this critical time to assess and improve organizational effectiveness, foster a culture of open communication and trust, and deepen the engagement of the board and staff teams. Services provided by our experienced nonprofit professionals can include leading and managing day-to-day operations and programs, working with your staff to meet mission, program, and fundraising commitments; working collaboratively with the board, guiding the strategic priorities for the organization while ensuring that the transition to a new leader is successful; and leveraging our deep experience to provide a candid assessment of organizational strengths and opportunities while laying the groundwork for the new executive director to be successful.
