How can a nonprofit consultant help us?

Administering a nonprofit is sophisticated and time-consuming work. Perhaps your organization needs guidance in hiring a staff? Does your organization need expert fundraising and financial management advice? Maybe your cause needs to focus on a specific need that is unmet in your community? An effective and professional nonprofit consultant like the team members at Geranda Projects listens to their clients’ most important concerns and considerations. We have been helping nonprofit organizations fill their organizational needs and achieve their fundraising goals with responsive and responsible guidance and advice for their customers.

What kind of help does your nonprofit need?

A few quick questions can help focus the need for a nonprofit consultant into key areas of effort:

  • What needs do you need help with? Focusing on the immediate need can keep efforts effective and goals achievable.
  • What is the first thing to do? Determining the issue that needs intervention will help define the solution.
  • What will be different? After the consultant has supported and driven the effort toward change, what will the organization look like and will it function differently?
  • What qualifications are needed in a consultant? It is easier to match a nonprofit consultants’ skills with needs once the goal is defined and the need identified.

Working through this list can help a nonprofit keep from wandering and foundering in their inefficiencies and keep the goal visible and achievable.

Determining what type of help your nonprofit organization needs is the first step to hiring a nonprofit consultant. Are you in need of advice? Guidance and training? Full out support?
