Board Catalyst^SM

We help you assess, strengthen and energize your board members to meet the challenges of today… and tomorrow.

Board Catalyst is a tested system designed to help you maximize the performance of your nonprofit board. If your board is ready to lead effectively, have meaningful experiences and make transformational contributions, then Board Catalyst is right for you!

The ASP Board Catalyst Approach

Our approach focuses on the five board governance components that serve as the foundation for all effective board work.

Using national best practices and working closely with your leadership, Board Catalyst will:

Z

Provide a comprehensive evaluation of all elements of the board’s work, including infrastructure, committee work and board dynamics.

Z

Develop a detailed board work plan while reviewing and refining supporting policies and procedures.

Z

Help you implement new practices and serve as an accountability partner for ongoing change.

The nonprofit board’s role is more complex and critical to the success of your organization than ever before.

As the ultimate keeper of the mission, the board must continue to ensure its organization has sustainable resources and strong leadership. This requires a new style and mode of governance.

Is your board engaged, equipped and ready to serve in this capacity?

“Our board and organization are where they are today because of your direction. I was giving you kudos tonight on our board matrix. We have formed our entire board using that matrix, and it was such a simple thing that you directed me to put together. THANK YOU! The message you are sending to boards and organizations in our community is making a huge impact.”

What the Surfside tragedy will teach us about board leadership and liability

Let’s start with the liability.

Around our shop we have a saying, that we repeat often in our workshops, in our clients’ board rooms, and to each other, which is, “being a board member is a different kind of volunteer.”

Case in point, the recent Champlain Towers South collapse in Surfside, Florida.

Highlights from 2018 nonprofit giving research

At ASP, our consultation is based on industry best practices and personal knowledge gleaned from decades of combined experience in the nonprofit world.

However, we recognize that the world of nonprofits and fundraising is always evolving. In order to stay on top emerging opportunities and challenges, we routinely review new research published about the sector.

Last year was an interesting year, and our research highlights below bring the proof. We’ve organized the information under five key themes. In addition to the overviews and sources, we’ve included key takeaways that you can apply to your own program. Happy reading!
