Our name implies we want to help people advance their mission. One of the best ways for us to do that is to share what we know. Some of the ways we share what we know are through three blogs and Twitter postings.
The Twitter postings are short helpful thoughts. Please encourage your friends to become readers. If your friends become readers, you will be helping them help themselves.
The three blogs provide more information about a specific thought or helpful suggestion. They raise an issue, suggest a solution, and offer 3 – 5 practical steps. We are also available to provide additional help.
The three areas that are most important to sustainability are the board, fundraising, and service delivery.
The Board – How the board interacts with the staff, how it makes decisions, and what issues it focuses on determines the sustainability of the organization. We provide short, simple, useful guidance that makes board governance easier and improves organizational sustainability.
Fundraising – It is the life-blood. Receiving a gift is helpful. The stronger the relationship with the donor the more helpful the gifts are. Strong relationships are what see us through the tough times. Organizations with strong relationships have found weathering the recent economic storm easier. This blog provides ideas for building and sustaining strong relationships.
Service Delivery – It is how one creates a competitive advantage and becomes distinguishable from others. Most schools aim for academic excellence. Schools distinguish themselves from each other by the way the school treats parents, the non-academic programming, and service offerings. The goal is to deliver services that draws students, keeps the school at or near capacity, and distinguishes the school from others. Learn how from this blog.
Feel free to recommend the blogs to others so that they can receive free assistance, improve their governance and fundraising as well as increase enrollment and sustainability.
