Organizational Growth Strategies

Board Development

Nonprofit organizations are legally required to have a governing Board of Directors. But few board or staff members know that board members themselves (and as a body) have certain legally required duties, including duties of care, loyalty and obedience. To create a high-performing board team, we can help your organization:

• revamp board and committee structure to maximize effectiveness,
• devise exciting board recruitment plans,
• train board members with fundraising and giving obligations,
• provide you with tactics to boost attendance at meetings,
• help the board fully understand organizational goals and its role in meeting them, and
• find appropriate staff-board reporting mechanisms for smooth communications.

A fully-functioning board of directors allows your organization to run at peak performance. Let do good Consulting help you streamline committee structure and reporting procedures to enhance meetings and progress, assist you with creating recruiting and communications plans of action, and work with your board to turn them into powerful fundraising machines for your organization.

Earned Income Ventures

Seeking innovative new ways to generate more unrestricted money to support your work while staying true to your mission? do good Consulting helps your organization explore social entrepreneurship opportunities.

Best Practices

Tired of reinventing the wheel when it comes to exploring new fundraising, program, or management ideas? do good Consulting helps you explore “best practices”: existing exceptional, leading edge programs, initiatives, or activities that your organization can model and replicate for success. Stop spinning your wheels and kick it into high gear/move into action!

Time, Knowledge & Resource Management

Time management: Go-go-going all the time but feel you’re not really getting anywhere? Unstructured days leaving you feeling like you’ll never catch up? Embarrassed of your overflowing in-box? do good Consulting trainers work with you – and your staff – to find time management solutions that bring productivity back to your work day and allow you to leave feeling good – not stressed – come 5PM. Make the commitment to unbury yourself and turn over a new time management leaf.

Knowledge and resource management: Is there a ‘black hole’ in the office that sucks important information? Tired of repeating yourself on policies and procedures? Files stacking up, but not sure what to do with them that will make sense three years out? do good Consulting’s knowledge and resource management techniques boost office efficiency, create a team that is well-prepared to handle day-to-day operations as well as new situations, and save you money that can instead be directed to program delivery. Get the right knowledge to the right people at the right time all the time.

Outcome Evaluations

Wonder whether your organization and its programs are really making a difference for your clients and the community? Move from simply measuring numbers to determine real community impact. do good Consulting will work with your staff to assess your organization’s and program’s short- and long-term impacts and benefits through an outcome evaluation process. Set up easy-to-use systems to quantify changes to your clients that came as a result of your programs and efforts that flow seamlessly with your fundraising and marketing efforts.
