Nonprofit consulting that makes a difference.

Our nonprofit consulting model drives impact. We provide strategies and tools that enable you to captivate your audiences and cultivate committed relationships with stakeholders.

compel (v): to have a powerful and irresistible effect

To compel is to inspire into action. We believe every nonprofit has a story to tell, and that story has the power to connect people within a common cause. Whether you are writing a donor appeal letter, submitting a grant to a critical funder, or galvanizing board commitment, we put your mission and your community at the heart of your story.

connect (v): to bring together; to establish a relationship

Your connections are the backbone of your organization. Every aspect of nonprofit work is about collaboration – whether it’s the internal work between board, staff and volunteers, or outreach to the community. We work with you to cultivate the right relationships and establish processes that encourage deep stakeholder engagement.

change (n): an alteration or transformation

We know that the path to change is often unclear. As nonprofits are increasingly driven to speak in terms of objectives and outcomes, their vision is often clouded by the nitty-gritty of fulfilling an organization’s mission. The challenge of motivating a disengaged board, filling a $10,000 budget gap or running a program without adequate resources — this is the real work of nonprofits.

It is our role to enable you to meet your objectives and achieve your desired outcomes. Because what are outcomes, but the incremental and measurable movement toward your organization’s vision of a better, more empowered community? In other words — change.

compel + connect = change

Together, we make change possible for your organization — and the communities you serve.
