Our services
The nonprofit industry is complex and the challenges can be too. Using our team approach, we provide various services to support nonprofit leaders through a wide range of situations.
Service areas
-
Leadership Development
Nonprofits face complex challenges, but frequently we are asked to “just figure it out.” We walk alongside leaders to bring both expertise and encouragement to move their organizations forward. We invite our clients to embrace a philosophy of “servant-leadership” and serve others first as they work to accomplish their mission. We help leaders develop a process to seek thoughtful feedback from their stakeholders as part of the coaching process.
-
Board Development
Through guiding an organization, raising funds, and supporting leadership, an effective nonprofit board can make all the difference. Our team can help your board understand these roles and develop your capacity to fulfill them.
-
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
We believe that DEI must be more than a checkbox on a to-do list; it must become a deep-seated value that infuses the organization’s culture. DEI brings wider perspectives that inform everything you do, from who you recruit as staff and board members to how you design your program and services.
-
Stakeholder-Centered Coaching
Support, guidance, and camaraderie are important elements, but leaders of organizations often lack these sorts of relationships as they are the ones who are looked to for “the answers”. We offer coaching services to walk alongside these leaders, to answer the questions that need to be asked, and offer support in an encouraging and confidential format.
-
Strategic Thinking and Planning
Strategy includes knowing what should be done and knowing how to do it. Our experienced team is equipped to offer a well-rounded perspective of your organizational challenges and offer informed guidance to help you stay focused on what’s important.
-
Program Development
Meaning well is great, but doing well often involves a well-considered plan. Our team members have worked inside hundreds of programs and are equipped to offer guidance on program design in a range of issues.
-
Donor-Centered Fundraising
Fundraising is essential for the long-term survival and success of your organization. We can offer counsel on designing and implementing a fundraising plan that fits within your organization’s capacity and mission. Our philosophy is that successful fundraising is not about asking for money; it is about extending an invitation to donors to become part of a shared mission and community.
-
Executive Director Transition
A change in leadership comes with major challenges, but it can also breath new life into the organization. Our team is equipped to walk alongside board members and staff to offer guidance for navigating this change, coming out the other side stronger than ever.
As a nonprofit organization, we strive to keep our pricing as affordable as possible so small to mid-sized nonprofits can get the support they need. We can also work with you to make the case to major donors or foundations to support your professional development and organizational capacity building activities.
Our preference is to do pricing on a per project basis. We will provide you with a clear proposal so you can budget accordingly.
Overall, our hourly rates are on a sliding scale from $95 per hour for the smaller budgets to $125 for larger nonprofits. These prices are some of most affordable in the sector because we see this as our mission, not a job.
