Building Stronger Nonprofits Starts With Partnership

We help impact-focused nonprofit leaders move from carrying it all alone to feeling supported and prepared by creating compelling narratives and strategic grant fundraising plans so they can secure sustainable funding.

Our Core Values   

These Core Values Shape How We Serve & Support Our Clients.

1.png

Honesty

We go beyond saying what you want to hear and give you honest, constructive guidance to strengthen your work and position you to attract more funders.

No Denigration

We approach our work from an ‘asset-framed’ perspective. This means we recognize that the communities we work in (and for) have intrinsic strength and value, and are not people or places that need to be ‘fixed’.

5.png

Inclusiveness

Our team and clients encompass individuals from various backgrounds, beliefs, and perspectives. We see this as a strength which we bring to the work we do for our clients who also represent various perspectives and communities.

excellence

We deliver excellence in every endeavor, providing our clients with the highest quality service at every step.

Results

We seek to get results for our clients. Whether it is raising more money through grants; or strengthening the organization’s ability to do so; we want to leave our clients better off than they were before working with us.

Flexibility

We don’t allow the mindset of, “We’ve always done it that way,” hold us back. We are flexible in our thinking and the way we approach our work and problem solving.

The Psychology of Framing: Why Your Words Are Literally Shaping Your Donors’ Brains

As Trabian Shorters, founder of BMe Community and the originator of asset framing, puts it: if your mission statement frames your organization as the hero, you’ve left a logical hole  and your audience’s brain will automatically cast your beneficiaries as the villain. That’s not a failure of values. It’s a wiring issue. And you can interrupt it.
