Non-Profit Organizations (NPO's)
The Non-Profit organization is the most rapidly expanding area of corporate growth in America. Yet, as never before, NPO's are challenged to justify both their mission and their relevance in the midst of a competitive environment and dwindling resources. Doing more with less requires creative re-thinking of every aspect of the organization.
Allshouse & Associates will assist your NPO board in re-thinking the organization's key issues of: governance, mission, marketing development, strategic planning and budget. We offer no pre-packaged solutions. Our approach is to engage you in the process of finding new solutions to your most pressing problems.
Unique in our approach is a mentoring and monitoring system that offers a blend of physical and virtual on-site presence that extends well beyond the initial consultation period. We do not advise you and then leave you, but rather stay with you (our client) until the issues are resolved.
Volunteer Training
One of the most valuable assets of any non-profit can be...and should be...its volunteers. But too many times this supposed asset instead becomes a major liability. Untrained and unmotivated volunteers will result in large turnovers and dissatisfaction with what should be a fulfilling and rewarding job. Allshouse & Associates can provide you with a program designed specifically for your non-profit. Let us show you how to inspire your volunteers and enable them to feel they are an important part of your corporation. A thorough knowledge of the corporation and their place within its structure is only the beginning of our comprehensive training program.
Board Education & Leadership Development
No NPO can remain successful for long without a strong board. Board development is the #1 priority for all effective CEO's. Recruitment is only the beginning; well designed and executed programs of training unlock the potential of a board’s capacity to navigate through rough waters. But far too many boards receive only modest orientation and little systematic training.
Allshouse & Associates specializes in the design and implementation of effective board education programs. These programs prepare boards to move beyond the old models of policy vs. administration and into the new era of collaborative board leadership and shared responsibility/accountability.
A well developed and trained board knows how to use the various talents of its members and staff to make wise decisions. A good board is aware of its strengths and weaknesses and understands its legal and ethical responsibilities; makes good use of support recourses; knows how to be involved and knowledgeable about all critical areas of operation. An effective board knows how to support its CEO and how to evaluate performance.
We will provide an initial consultation at no cost to you.
