Our bench is not only deep, it’s warm. Our associates include specialists in relationship development with major donors and grant making organizations. Our team includes experts in planning, leadership training, public speaking, fundraising, non-profit management, volunteer management and development of non-profit leadership.
Our depth of experience informs our partnerships with our clients. Over our decades of experience, we’ve also seen the missteps and mistakes that plague nonprofits in taking on campaigns. As experienced guides, we know how to navigate away from potential problems before our clients enter that territory. Whether that is choosing the wrong donor database or the wrong broker to process securities transactions, we know the potential pitfalls of choices that seem mundane.
Unlike other consultants, our niche doesn’t focus on the size of a nonprofit. Our focus is on your purpose and your progress. As philanthropy partners, we’ve helped manage the growth of nonprofit organizations from start up to stable businesses. We know some of the stages of growth feel more like explosions and less like steps. With our help, our clients have been ready in advance of each stage.
Our Associates have decades of experience managing teams and coaching executives. As development trainers, we can analyze organizations for competency gaps and find natural learning opportunities to enhance the confidence of your staff.
