Our Work with Nonprofits
1
Fundraising Strategy
When you work with us on a Fundraising Strategy you are building meaningful revenue goals, a compelling case for support, and the technical skill to execute on your plan. The key deliverable for this project is your team’s confidence in their ability to execute their plan increases as a result of our work.

Building a Development Team
Building a development team requires beginning with a “build or buy” decision. We can help you make this decision. We are skilled trainers who can build talent from within or develop a job description for attracting the necessary talent. We then help you test and select the best candidate. Finally, we onboard and coach your team members until they are a well oiled machine.

Organizational Strategic Plans
Our approach to strategic planning is to facilitate dialogue and worksessions that ground the organization in a plan designed to disrupt the status quo. We believe the nonprofit sector is in need of organizations willing to challenge the status quo. Therefore, we work with organizations to clarify the problem they are designed to solve and a solution that produces radical progress. Our Strategic Plans say something. They serve as a wakeup call to stakeholders and a decision-making tool for internal team members.

Program Evaluation Plan
A Program Evaluation Plan is a lean human-centered process for measuring the way in which you are changing people, places, or things. We specialize in helping you measure things that you previously considered immeasurable. Your evaluation plan will allow you to learn from your data, not just report on it.
Our Work with Incubators/Foundations
1
Design Your Capacity Building Strategy
We work to clarify your identity as a capacity building agency, the role you wish to play in your grantee or fellows’ work, and your definition of success. We facilitate conversations with partners to determine what effective capacity building looks like from their perspective. We then work with your leadership team to develop a baseline assessment which will serve as a guide for the capacity building projects and allow you to measure growth. Your Capacity Building Strategy will provide the framework for your programming, the infrastructure needed to execute on the strategy, and an evaluation plan.
2
Provide Capacity Building for Grantees or Fellows
We are a trusted provider of consulting, training, or professional development for your grantees and fellows. We quickly assess a meaningful scope of work, develop a learning plan, and deliver actionable work on time.
