Tailored Solutions for Growing and Sustaining Your Mission.
Services We Offer
Strategic Planning
Strategic planning is about helping you clarify your mission, define a clear vision for the future, and set concrete goals to get there. It’s a collaborative process where we work together to identify your strengths, opportunities, and the challenges you’re facing. For churches, that might mean aligning ministry goals with the needs of the community and finding new ways to engage your congregation. For nonprofits and startups, it could involve developing impactful programs, figuring out the best use of resources, and creating a strategy for sustainability. Our goal is to help you create a roadmap that positions you to make the greatest impact, ensuring your organization is equipped to fulfill its mission and achieve long-term success.
Organizational Development
Organizational development is about helping you build a stronger, more effective organization from the inside out. For churches, it means strengthening your ministry team, improving communication within the congregation, and finding better ways to engage your volunteers. For nonprofits, it’s about refining your programs, optimizing staff roles, implementing best practices in management and fundraising, and ensuring you have a well-developed board of directors to provide governance and strategic oversight. For nonprofit startups, it’s about laying a solid foundation—establishing core policies, defining roles, building a strong and engaged board, and creating a plan for growth. No matter where you are in your journey, our goal is to work with you to build the systems, leadership, and culture that will help your organization thrive and make an even greater impact.
Nonprofit Startup
Starting a nonprofit organization is an incredible way to turn your passion into meaningful action, and we’d love to help you bring your vision to life. It’s a process that involves several important steps, but that’s where we come in—to make it as smooth and straightforward as possible. We’ll start by defining your mission and choosing a name that perfectly captures your goals. From there, we will handle the formation documents, help you create bylaws that set up a strong governance structure, and ensure everything is filed correctly with the state. We’ll also assist in getting your Employer Identification Number (EIN) and applying for state tax exemptions. One of the most critical pieces is preparing and submitting your IRS Form 1023 or 1023-EZ to secure 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, so we will work closely with you to develop a compelling application that demonstrates how your organization will serve the community. As we go through this journey, we’ll guide you in building your board, developing initial programs, and establishing solid systems for fundraising and financial management. Our goal is to take the complexity out of starting a nonprofit so you can focus on your mission and start making an impact as quickly as possible.
