No matter what your governance or fundraising challenges, Cause Effective is ready to help.
Cause Effective works individually with more than 100 nonprofits a year to help build their fundraising and governance capacity so they can more robustly realize their missions.
- We listen carefully to the particular circumstances of each client to make sure that our advice will lead to successful results.
- Our solutions are not “off the shelf” - we create a unique work plan for each client that uses our expertise, resources and tools to catalyze change and achieve tangible results that improve the odds for your organization’s sustainability.
- We start where organizations are in the moment and make progress to help board members, staff, and volunteers develop fundraising competencies they didn't realize they could attain.
- We are interventionists and problem solvers; but we don’t just tell people what to do, we roll up our sleeves and work side by side with them.
- We are realists, yet we help our clients reach for previously unobtainable growth.
As a nonprofit ourselves, we understand the unique demands that nonprofits – and the people who work in them – face. Our goal is to help nonprofits achieve lasting, transformational change.
