What we do

The many challenges that leaders and boards of directors of nonprofit organizations confront continue to grow. Declining funding, program sustainability, governance conflicts, unsupportable visions and missions, and leadership failures are threatening the success and survival of nonprofit organizations throughout the country.

The clients of Ewing Consulting for Nonprofits have benefited from our capacity to understand and define complex strategic and human interrelationships and create innovative and elegant solutions to difficult challenges faced by nonprofit organizations. Our ability to build trust, consensus and strong client relationships has resulted in highly successful and enduring outcomes for our valued clients.

The services we provide include:

 

Strategic Transformation

In a rapidly changing environment, nonprofit organizations must continually guard against ignoring internal and external threats to their existence. By mounting a comprehensive strategic planning effort, supported by a robust program of stakeholder interviews and an external environmental assessment, our clients have discovered new and innovative pathways to long-term sustainability and success.

 

Organizational Development

With a vigorous organizational assessment, supported by thorough Board and staff interviews and capability evaluations, we have the capacity to recommend organizational change, and assist in orchestrating that change to restore organizational effectiveness.

 

Interim Management

Uh, Oh, your Executive Director has departed. And you don’t have a qualified internal successor. Our experience in providing interim leadership to sustain your programs and alleviate donor concerns can provide the breathing space you need to find new leadership.  We can provide that space.

 

Governance

Nonprofit Boards of Directors have a solemn and critical role in ensuring the health of the organization they serve.  Understanding and fulfilling that role requires a coherent and documented set of standards, processes and objectives that we can aid in developing and implementing. The stakeholders of your nonprofit deserve no less.
