 How We Help


Cause Effective is committed to supporting the visionary and committed individuals and organizations in the nonprofit sector that are improving our world in so many ways:

  • We deliver training and immersive consulting to nonprofit organizations eager to boost the productivity of their governance and fundraising efforts
  • We offer coaching and instruction to build the skills, competence and confidence of individuals in key fundraising and governance roles, such as executive and development directors and up-and-comers, and board leadership
  • We provide thought leadership on a sectoral level on issues pertaining to fundraising and governance, especially strategic concerns relating to equity, access, and ensuring that all have their rightful seat at the table

Our services include assessment/planning, training, coaching, publications/materials, and direct service.

See our Theory of Change to discover how we help the sector learn, implement, and sustain new approaches to fundraising and board engagement.


“Cause Effective helped us develop an approach to fundraising that involves everyone on the board, and guided us to make changes for ourselves in a way that we can sustain over time.”
