Grow your existing Foundation or Nonprofit

See how we can help below

  • We create cohesive brand identities across digital and print mediums to effectively communicate with your audience through websites, ad campaigns, and more, maximizing engagement opportunities.

    Our dedicated in-house creative team goes beyond just visual and auditory redesigns to define and showcase your company’s identity. From branding to websites and digital to print assets, we craft a cohesive story that connects with your audience and ensures internal clarity. By understanding your essence, objectives, and missions, we integrate your identity into every aspect of our work. This familiarity helps us quickly align with your vision, saving time and resources. Our streamlined approach enhances brand cohesion and alignment, ultimately driving greater impact for your nonprofit or foundation.

  • Strategic planning begins with an in-depth review of your organization’s health, starting with a S.W.O.T. analysis in four main areas: Fundraising, Marketing/Communications, Programs, and People.

    Upon completion, we provide recommendations to empower your organization to move forward independently or with our assistance.

  • With nearly 60 years of combined experience, our coaches bring a wealth of practical knowledge from diverse roles in the nonprofit and foundation sectors, including CEO, Executive Director, Development Director, and grant writer. We work with individuals and small groups of nonprofit leaders to support them in launching, growing, rebuilding, revitalizing, or enhancing their strengths, both personally and strategically.

    Our role is to provide new information and insights grounded in real-world experience, ensuring our coaching is both practical and effective. We offer one-on-one or small-group facilitation to help leaders understand and execute their roles more effectively.

  • Every nonprofit has a Board of Directors, but many people don’t fully understand the Board’s role. Surprisingly, even some Board members are unsure of their responsibilities.

    If your Board members and staff aren’t clear about these responsibilities, it can lead to frustration, unhappiness, and ultimately, Board resignations, setting the nonprofit up for failure.

    At Gift NPS, we understand the importance of a well-defined board. We provide everything from helping set up a new board to facilitating strategic planning retreats, ensuring everyone knows their role and contributes effectively.

  • Hiring the wrong person for a senior leadership position can be one of an organization's most damaging and costly mistakes. Few nonprofits have the executive depth to function well with a key position vacant, and the time required to find the right person often tempts organizations to settle for someone who’s almost right.

    At Gift NPS, we help you find your next nonprofit leader, managing the process from advertisement to hiring or working with you in an arrangement that suits your needs. Our team is experienced in guiding organizations through transitional periods and can serve as a cost-effective way to introduce top-tier thinking into your nonprofit.

    We also excel in interim or on-demand leadership roles, providing real hands-on leadership rather than a purely consultative approach. With nearly 60 years of combined experience in diverse roles such as CEO, Executive Director, Development Director, and grant writer, we know that a strong, innovative leader can tremendously impact a nonprofit’s long-term success.

  • Relational fundraising is at the heart of Gift NPS. We believe anything is possible through authenticity, transparency, and collaboration.

    We operate on the principle that nonprofit organizations grow at the pace of relationships. By creating genuine, passionate connections within your network and community, you will see growth.

    Effective relationship management requires a strategy, a documented plan, and measurable outcomes. We will help you develop a plan to build strong, authentic relationships with your donors to maximize your organization’s impact.

    We cover all aspects of the Development/Resource Department and work closely with you to reach your fundraising goals. Serving as your fundraising partner, we provide direction, training, and funding opportunities to help your nonprofit thrive.
