NONPROFIT STARTUP, COACHING & PLANNING
YOU WANT TO MAKE A LASTING IMPACT
WE'LL SHOW YOU HOW!
It's easier than you think...
Starting up a nonprofit can be an overwhelming task. It's like building a rocket. What do I need to do? What parts do I need? Who will be the pilot? How long does everything take? What legal responsibilities do I have?
We'll answer all your questions for free during our first conversation, so you can have clarity about moving forward. Then, we'll provide an affordable done-for you process that includes creating all the organizing documents you need to quickly launch your nonprofit. ​
​
You can sit back and relax, assured that your organization will be up and running, and legally compliant, in no time.
Now that you've built the rocket, you need the right fuel for takeoff. That's where we come in. We've launched many rockets in our past, and know how to mix the right chemicals to give you a big blast for takeoff. We also have the scars from our failed attempts and are here to help you avoid the same fate. It doesn't matter if you want to transform your leaders, raise more money, or engage your volunteers. We can help you achieve your goals.
Our High Impact Powerhouse Program™ is an ongoing service designed to transform your mindset, help you attract, engage and convert prospects into donors, tackle your biggest challenges and accelerate your growth.
You don’t need a full-time fundraiser to achieve your nonprofit’s fundraising goals—you need the right expertise.
As your Fractional Chief Development Officer, we provide strategic leadership and hands-on execution to help your nonprofit raise more, grow faster, and focus on making a difference.
We've developed efficiencies over the years that allow us to implement your fundraising plans in a fraction of the time, and therefore we can do it at a fraction of the cost.
​
Whether it's cultivating a major donor or developing a practical budget for a program, your Fractional Chief Development Officer can handle it efficiently and effectively.
You don't want just any plan. You want a plan that will transform your nonprofit and get results! That's why our Strategic Planning facilitation is more than just a process—it's a catalyst for transformation. It's born out of 40 years of experience and a deep-seated desire to empower nonprofit leaders like you to achieve their boldest dreams and make a lasting impact in the world.
We've seen firsthand the incredible potential that exists within the nonprofit sector time-and-time again, and believe that with the right support and guidance, you have the power to unlock that potential and create meaningful change in your community. You just need the right plan in place to do it well.
Barriers in your way
​
Attracting, Developing & Retaining Top Talent
Lacking Clarity & Accountability
Operationalizing a Strategic Plan that Works
Missing Fundraising Targets
“I started this agency 20 years ago as a way of sharing professional resources to help nonprofits make a bigger impact with less effort…
​
I knew nonprofits were capable of doing it, but I was frustrated it wasn’t happening more quickly.
Most nonprofit leaders just didn't have the knowledge or resources to attract, retain, and develop top talent, build their infrastructure, or implement their plans effectively.”
