Aly Sterling Philanthropy provides nonprofit consulting services in fundraising, board governance and strategic planning to well-positioned nonprofits across every sector.
Fundraising Solutions
We provide a deeper understanding of why donors give and solutions to help your organization raise more money.
We’ll help you strengthen your fundraising strategy through:
- Fundraising assessment and planning services that result in your custom Philanthropy Blueprint, our comprehensive fundraising strategic plan.
- Campaign feasibility studies that determine your readiness, how much you can expect to raise and how to prepare.
- Campaign leadership services that ensure you build a sound infrastructure for your campaign and have an experienced accountability partner.
Strategic Planning
We lead your nonprofit through a thoughtful assessment to align goals with organizational values and create a bold action plan.
Our nonprofit strategic planning process involves three core steps:
- Assess. We’ll start by evaluating your organization’s current state and surveying various stakeholders to gather their perspectives on your nonprofit.
- Align. Next, our consultants will organize and lead a dynamic strategic planning retreat to help board and staff members reach a consensus on your nonprofit’s top priorities.
- Act. Lastly, we’ll summarize our findings and develop a cohesive action plan that outlines the goals, initiatives, key performance indicators and timelines associated with your priorities.
Nonprofit Board Consulting
We help you assess, strengthen and energize your board members to meet and overcome the challenges of today…and tomorrow.
Our board and leadership development approach focuses on five main board governance components:
- Purpose: clarifying board member responsibilities and building proper governance
- Education: preparing board members for effective service
- Architecture: analyzing your current board structure and assisting with new board member recruitment
- Results: conducting leadership evaluations and measuring organizational impact
- Leadership: developing succession plans and creating officer and committee chair job descriptions
