We always start with Discovery. During a confidential in-depth conversation we look at your organization’s whole operation:
how you think
what you think about and why
where you want to go
It allows us to develop a set of recommendations for growth, bespoke to your organizations, and a clear roadmap for action.
Here’s the areas we look at:
Mission
and Direction
What you stand for, where you are headed and what makes you distinct
Leadership
Alignment
How decisions get made, where gaps exist, and whether the team is pulling together
Governance
and Board
How your Board is engaged in strategy, fundraising, and the organization’s future
Fundraising
and Donors
Revenue mix, pipeline health, donor stewardship, and the strength of your philanthropic narrative
Narrative
and Messaging
How clearly you articulate your impact and whether your story resonates where it matters most
Community
Engagement
How you attract supporters, reach new audiences, and build partnerships that extend your reach
Operations
and Capacity
How well your systems, structure, and people are set up to support the scale of your ambitions
Impact
Measurement
How you define success, what you track, and how that story gets told to those who fund you
Future
Readiness
The risks and opportunities ahead, and whether your organization is positioned to meet them
The outputs of the work look like:
Comprehensive strategies
A clear roadmap of priorities so you can focus on the right actions to scale
Implementation of the strategy or the priorities so you can see the growth happening
A clear set of metrics to track growth over time
