A Strategic Partner for the
Work That Matters Most

Leading an organization is hard and often smaller organizations cannot do everything they need to do to be successful.  That's where we come in. 

Long-term success starts with a strategic partner who will work alongside you and your organization to help you reach your goals. We bring practical experience, Maine-specific knowledge, and genuine commitment to every engagement.

What We Do Best

These are the engagements we have built our practice around, the complex, high-stakes challenges that require more than a template or a generic framework. Each service is tailored to where your organization actually is right now.

Fundraising & Development 
Strategy

Pine Cone

Whether your organization is celebrating a special anniversary, tackling your grants' strategy, kicking off planned giving, or preparing for a capital campaign. If you're a small shop, you need partners who will take on the campaign management so you can focus on daily responsibilities.  We bring the strategy, the systems, and the bandwidth.

Assessment &
Organizational Effectiveness

It's important to take time to assess your current performance to know where you want to go in the future. We can review your organization for efficiency, awareness, and perception, and strengths and weaknesses, then provide actionable steps you can take now and in the future to build long-term sustainability and impact.

Strategic Planning &
Organizational Development

When you're in the day-to-day, it's difficult to take time for long-term planning even with the best intentions. We can help close the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Our expertise and hands-on help will accelerate growth and enhance organizational impact.    

Fractional Support

Your operations can’t stop moving when your organization has an open leadership position vacancy. We bring expertise, leadership, and continuity, ensuring operations, programs, fundraising, and engaging with donors and staff continue and have what they need so your organization stays on track.
