Nonprofits need strong leaders - people with vision, passion, charisma and knowledge. But these leaders face daunting pressures. We're here to help. We offer one-on-one coaching and support to nonprofit leaders to help them shift from crisis to planning, prioritize and delegate, tackle tough challenges, and proceed down a path that is sustainable both for them and their beloved organization.

Often nonprofits #1 need is to raise more money. We can assess your current fundraising activities and identify the optimal strategies to strengthen your fundraising and achieve your revenue goals. We also can recraft your organizational story to be more compelling to foundations and to individual donors and handle on-going grant writing, especially for those more difficult grant proposals. 

Planning is essential to maximize and sustain the health and impact of your nonprofit. Yet planning requires that you shift your attention away from day-to-day crises. We can help! Whether you need to design a new program, develop organizational policies, do annual budgeting, create a strategic plan or plan for the eventual exit of your executive leader(s), we can facilitate these planning conversations with you, your Board and your staff team. 

The key to developing an engaged Board of Directors and a strong staff team is to invest in them. Invest in finding the right people for these critical positions. Develop clear roles and responsibilities. Be upfront about expectations and regularly check-in. And provide sufficient training and resources to equip them for success. We can help you with this by designing Board member and staff member job descriptions, developing recruitment plans and designing and facilitating trainings to your Board and staff. We can provide critical analysis tools designed to suss out the details of those challenges you suspect as well as those you may have overlooked. We will use those tools to design your organizational plan for success. 

One of the most difficult moments for a nonprofit is when its executive director, chief executive officer or founder leaves. Yet this transition also presents a powerful opportunity for the organization. For a nonprofit to survive, it must not revolve around a single person. This is your organization's chance to build a structure for long-term sustainability. This transition also presents the opportunity for Board and staff members to step up and demonstrate greater leadership. We can guide your organization through this time of transition and even step into the interim executive leader role until you successfully hire your next ED/CEO.
