Board Development
You have a thriving non-profit doing great work and you are ready to take it to the next level. Whether you are wanting to serve more people, add a new program or grow in other ways, you may be caught in the catch-22 of you can't grow without more revenue, but you can't get more revenue without growing. You want to hire additional staff and increase programmatic reach, but how can you do so without the additional funding first?
Specializing in non-profit fundraising, special event consulting, board development, grant writing and more, Next Stage Advisors helps non-profits of all sizes meet and beat their fundraising goals without the long term commitment of a new staff member or long term contract. Using more than 20 years of non-profit, marketing and sales experience, we help non-profits get to the next stage of growth so they can grow and thrive.
