NONPROFIT

DEVELOPMENT

 

S.W.O.T. ANALYSIS

Provides insight about the internal perspectives of the organization by garnering feedback from the Board, staff, and key insiders. Through this approach, we ask questions about what they feel are the most important areas such as programs, initiatives, and priorities for their organization to embrace at this time.

NEEDS ASSESSMENT

Most organizations have a “glass half empty” mindset. Through our practical approach not only do we question the size of the glass, we identify what is in it! This is an inclusive and systematic process for determining and addressing "gaps" between current and desired conditions, as well as helping to identify possible solutions to improve organizational performance prior to the Strategic Planning.

STRATEGIC PLANNING

Planning takes time, money and additional resources. We take the time to get to know your organization both inside and out to help you ...

1. Identify lofty yet realistic goals,

2. Prioritize goals, create strategies and tactics moving you toward your goals,

3. Assign activities to share responsibility,

4. Set up a process to help you evaluate and monitor progress of all the moving parts.

T3: TIME TREASURE TALENT ©

HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT MODEL

The T3 Model © was developed over 30 years working with nonprofits that had very little resources, or so they thought! The T3 program is a relationship-based model that builds upon the treasures your organization already possesses and identifies areas of opportunity to expand your resources to achieve your goals

 

We offer three levels of training and support.

3 Simple Things 

that will immediately make your organization stand out: 

 

1. Send a hand written THANK YOU note to a donor, volunteer or community partner.  Tell them how their gift has made an impact.

2. Call a supporter to say THANK YOU, share an update on your work and ask for feedback.

3. Tell 1 person (new to your organization) about the good work you are doing.

"Having worked professionally with staff from over 50 private child welfare and family service agencies during my 30 year career as the Executive Director of the Wisconsin Association of Family and Children's Agencies, I would not hesitate to recommend Cyndi to an agency CEO, as a valuable asset whose work ethic, management style, and 'can do' attitude would be useful in achieving the agency's goals in any number of ways."
