STRATEGIC PLANNING

Passion without direction burns out quickly, and a plan no one uses is just a map to nowhere. We will lead your organization through the process of establishing a strategic plan for your success that is both efficient and effective for your organization. 
 

​

CUSTOMIZED FUNDRAISING SOLUTIONS
 

ROI is not just a business term and research is not just for academics. We will help you make the most of your fundraising opportunities by helping you analyze the most productive methodologies for your circumstance. There is a world of meaningful donor engagement far beyond golf tournaments, galas, and GivingTuesday. Our models will guide you through the process of setting realistic goals based on your strategic priorities, and select methodologies that position your organization for transformative donor engagement and retention.

MARKETING AND PROMOTIONAL MESSAGING
 

“If you can’t tell it, you can’t sell it!” There is an art and science in the composition and presentation of your story. We will help you turn the outline of your strategic plan into a masterpiece that inspires the emotions of prospective donors and compels them by logic to give. Going beyond the hit and run tactics of social media posts and gift letter themes, we will help you engage donors and write them into the story of your success.
 

 

EXECUTIVE COACHING
 

Our education, experience, and hard-work is the same as our for-profit friends, but our compensation and access to resources is not. Such is the reality of nonprofits. It’s a labor of love that some days is hard to like, and over time it can lead to burnout or lost passion. We work with you to not only enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of your organization, but also to help you walk freely through the messy but meaningful calling of nonprofit leadership.
 

 

EVENT AND CONFERENCE PLANNING
 

Nonprofit events both small and large are an intricate balance of planning, organization and people skills. There is no going back when the night arrives and the guest of honor is on stage. Is it organized chaos or a strategic masterpiece? Will you surpass your goals or simply pass out from stress? Will you meet your needs, or will you let significant donations and relationships walk away? We help you go beyond “just get it done,” to host the one-of-a-kind events worthy of your mission. Our step-by-step planning process will help insure that your guests not only have a good time, but also have great opportunities to get engaged with your cause.
 

 

TEAM BUILDING AND BOARD DEVELOPMENT
 

Teamwork efficiency is vital to any nonprofit. It is impossible to provide life changing services and present a coordinated message to potential donors, when there is a disconnect in your team’s culture and communication. Your supersonic jet to success can feel more like a ballistic bottle rocket when your people don’t know your strategic vision or share your core values. We design customized experiences to help your team not only get on the same page, but begin to write the story of your organization’s success together.  Combining directed conversations, team building activities, planning sessions, and group fun, we position your team fulfil the purpose for which they came together to accomplish.
