CONSULTING
Business consulting for organizations that want a clearer plan and a stronger foundation, with deep roots in the non-profit sector. In English and in French.

- Community organizations
- Social enterprises
- Small & growing businesses
WHERE WE
COME IN
Strategic Planning
Get clear on where your organization is going and how it gets there. We facilitate planning with your team and board, then turn it into priorities, goals, and a plan people actually use.
Operations & Systems
Untangle how work gets done. We review your processes, roles, and tools, and help put systems in place that save time and hold up as you grow.
Funding Readiness
Be ready when the opportunity comes. We help you sharpen your case for support, organize the information funders ask for, and strengthen grant and partnership proposals.
Governance & Board Support
Help your board work well. From policies and structure to board development and meeting practice, we support the foundations good organizations are built on.
Programs & Impact
Show what your work changes. We help you shape programs and define how you measure and report outcomes to your community and funders.
