For US nonprofits

Build the organization you dream of.

You already know what a stronger organization would look like: a clear strategy, a steady income, a team pulling in the same direction. We help you get there faster, with expert consulting, coaching and training that's free for you and paid for by your foundation.

You're in the driving seat

You choose what to work on, when to start, and who you work with. It's your organization, so the process follows your priorities.

We take care of everything around it: contracting, payments and follow-up. There's nothing to negotiate and no invoices to chase.

It's free for you

Paying for consulting or coaching out of limited unrestricted funds is hard. We know, because Nonprofit Builder was started by nonprofit leaders.

So in our model, your foundation pays for the support. Your team can put its energy into the change and growth you want to achieve.

Paced for busy teams

We know you're busy. So most consulting engagements are 8 to 10 consulting days, spread over about 3 months. Your team has time to digest each step, try things out and apply them, alongside the daily work.

And the daily work gets easier. With a clear strategy, communication plan or fundraising plan, it's much simpler to decide where your time goes.

Example: a fundraising plan in 9 days

Month 1

Goals, and a look at what you already have.

Month 2

Draft the plan together and test it with your team.

Month 3

Finalize, put it to work, set next steps.

Each square is one consulting day. You work on it in between.

Trainings are hands-on

Short enough to fit your week, practical enough to use. You practice the skills during the session and leave with something tangible for your work.

Consultants who know your world

Our consultants are established nonprofit consultants who've built their careers working with nonprofits. They know what small teams, tight budgets and busy boards look like, and they keep things practical.

With 120 consultants in 26 states, you can usually find someone close to you, geographically and culturally.
