Our one stop shop and the growing nonprofit
When a nonprofit grows its programming, it stretches every other part of the organization. Addressing the need for greater capacity thus requires multiple areas of expertise all working together.
Juma Ventures is the latest organization that has turned to our “one stop shop” approach to serving growing nonprofits.
Juma Ventures is one of the premier agencies preparing low income youth for college. It enjoys a national reputation for pioneering an approach that integrates financial empowerment with educational support. Demand for the San Francisco based organization has grown to other cities and Juma Ventures is pursuing a national footprint.
Chief Executive Officer Marc Spencer sensed a need for expanded capacity in three areas:
- Messaging and branding
- Individual donor cultivation
- Board development
To guide his strategic planning, he wanted outside expert evaluation of these areas and accompanying recommendations for next steps.
In the standard world of nonprofit consulting, Marc normally would be forced to locate three different experts, manage three different projects, and synthesize three different findings. By turning to the Consulting Within Reach team, he will instead receive insight that integrates all three areas into one report. This is a crucial advantage because in the nonprofit world, each area invariably affects the other.
Whether you are expanding across the country or just across a town, we would be motivated to provide you with a similar type of “one stop shop” service. Contact us for a free consultation.
