CONSULTING Services to Survive and Thrive
Regardless of the economic climate, the board and staff play integral roles in an organization’s success. To help focus your activities and make the most productive use of board and staff involvement, the Greenlights consulting team would like to highlight a few ways that we can help address some of your biggest pain points.
- The Greenlights Diagnostic assessment provides a comprehensive understanding of the 12 primary areas of your nonprofit’s functionality. Including assessment of your financials and identifying opportunities for enhancing efficiency, this tool is particularly useful in guiding decision-making and prioritization in challenging times.
- Nonprofits need a firm grasp on resources coming in and resources going out. Our new Run the Numbers targeted assessment will help you understand the current picture of revenues and expenses at your nonprofit so you can improve your organization’s near-term financial position. This targeted analysis of costs, revenues, and organizational finances is designed to quickly get you the information you need, then help you apply it when making important decisions.
- Beyond looking closely at how resources are spent, now may be the right time to make sure that you are working smarter, not harder, to bring funds into your nonprofit. Our Fund Development Assessment and Planning services
can help you assess your previous fundraising hits and misses, look at the funding environment as it is, and create a plan to maximize your staff, board and volunteer fundraising efforts.
- Greenlights believes that Collaboration and Consolidation Strategies are important tools for nonprofit effectiveness – especially in an uncertain economic climate. Let us help you evaluate how to improve impact through strategic alignment of your programs and services with other organizations, from enhanced communication approaches, more formal collaborative ventures, shared resources or staff, or even an actual merger of two or more entities.
- Want to help your board increase their own capacity to govern? Check out the Greenlights Board Excellence Toolkit for ideas on how your board can work more effectively to provide strong governance.
