management and governance issues
High functioning boards are essential to the success of an organization. Strong relationships between the board and the staff, management and staff assessments, and succession planning are equally important elements of any high functioning nonprofit. Bryan & Jordan will assist you in all of these areas with a customizable approach that melds with the culture of your organization.
capital campaign and fundraising STRATEGies
Success for your campaign will come by a careful evaluation of your stakeholders and their perceptions of the organization; by working closely with the campaign leadership on campaign structure, strategy, and management; and by carefully targeting potential donors who have a proven interest in your mission, the sophistication to understand the importance of campaign funding, and with the decisiveness and means to make a substantial gift. Bryan & Jordan can help develop and implement strategies that will get the most effective appeal in front of prospects as quickly as possible.
strategic issues
Strategic planning is especially critical for nonprofit organizations that are stewards of the public’s trust. A good plan, and its preparation process, will bring clarity and agreement on mission and vision and help organizations prepare for the future. Bryan & Jordan will help your organization anticipate and manage change, improve the decision-making processes, promote effective stewardship, align the board and staff, provide an opportunity to recommit to the cause, educate participants about institutional history, identify existing strengths in the organization, and reinforce the need to commit to continuous improvement.
