Zooming in, here’s what we do
Empowering your nonprofit or foundation for maximum impact, health, and sustainability.
Branding & Marketing
We craft cohesive brand identities across digital and print mediums, enabling effective communication with your audience through websites, ad campaigns, and more, maximizing meaningful engagement opportunities.
With our dedicated in-house creative team, we go beyond mere visual and auditory redesigns to define and showcase your company's identity to the world. From branding to websites, and digital to print assets, we craft a cohesive narrative that not only resonates externally but also ensures internal clarity. By intimately understanding your essence, objectives, and missions, we seamlessly integrate your identity into every aspect of our work. This deep familiarity empowers us to fast-track discussions, bypassing repetitive exchanges, and enabling us to align swiftly with your vision. This streamlined approach not only saves valuable time and resources but also enhances brand cohesion and alignment, ultimately driving greater impact for your nonprofit or foundation.
Board Development
Every nonprofit has a Board of Directors. Yet most people don’t understand what exactly the Board’s job is. It’s surprising how many Board members themselves are confused about their role.
If your Board members and staff aren’t clear about the Board’s responsibilities, the nonprofit is set up for failure. People are going to be frustrated and unhappy, and ultimately Board members will resign.
At Gift NPS, we understand the importance of a well-defined board. We offer everything from assisting with setting up a new board to facilitating strategic planning retreats.
Executive Coaching
We work with individuals and small groups of Nonprofit leaders seeking support to launch, grow, rebuild, revitalize or enhance existing strengths, both personally and strategically.
Our role is to bring new information and insight, to enable leaders to understand and execute their roles more effectively. One on One or small groups facilitation is available.
Strategic Planning
Strategic planning begins with an in-depth review of the health of your organization. This starts with a S.W.O.T. analysis in the 4 main areas of a nonprofit: Fundraising, Marketing/Communications, Programs, and People.
Once completed, recommendations are made and your organization is empowered to move forward, either alone or with our assistance.
Fundraising
Relational fundraising is the essence of Gift NPS. We believe that anything is possible through authenticity, transparency and collaboration.
We operate from the belief that nonprofit organizations grow at the pace of relationships. Create relationships within your network and community that are genuine and filled with passion for the cause and you will see growth!
Relationship management requires a strategy, a documented plan and measurables. We will help you with a plan to develop strong, authentic relationships with your donors to maximize the impact on your organization.
We cover all aspects of the Development/Resource Department and work closely with you to reach your fundraising goals. We serve as your fundraising partner! We work closely with nonprofits to provide direction, training, and funding opportunities.
Interim Leadership
Hiring the wrong person into a senior leadership position can be one of the most damaging and costly mistakes an organization can make. At the same time, few nonprofits have the executive bench to function well with a key position vacant. Factor in the length of time that’s often required to find the right person, and it’s easy to see why the temptation to settle for someone who’s almost right can be so strong.
At Gift NPS, we help you find your next Nonprofit leader. We manage the process from advertisement to hire or work with you for an arrangement that suits your needs. Our team is comfortable helping a company through a transitional period or being leveraged as a cost-efficient way to introduce top-tier thinking into an organization.
We enjoy interim or on-demand leadership roles as they’re ultimately about providing real hands-on leadership versus a more consultative approach. A strong and innovative leader can make a tremendous impact on a company and its long term success.
