Feasibility Studies

Is your building needing to be remodeled? Is your organization needing to expand to continue to provide services? A Feasibility Study, or Campaign Readiness Study, is the first step in the process. Feasibility Studies are designed to assess an organization's readiness for a large project such as a capital campaign. It's an excellent opportunity to measure your nonprofit organization's strengths, weaknesses, and overall health.

Leadership Development

Leadership Development is the process that helps expand the capacity of individuals to perform leadership roles within organizations. Leadership Development is best utilized when an organization has recently undergone significant change or as a refresher as new board members are added. This service helps build alignment with staff and board, educates board and staff roles, and creates the foundation to execute the strategic development plan.

Stewardship Structure

Donor stewardship is the process that occurs once a donor has given a contribution to your organization. Specifically, stewardship refers to the relationship-building and communications that take place after the gift has been received. Many mistakenly think that a single tax receipt is sufficient in stewarding and appreciating their benefactors. Our Stewardship Overhaul looks at your stewardship efforts through the entire donor moves cycle. We will help identify critical initiatives to thank your donors that go far beyond a single letter.
