Your Ally in Making the World a Better Place
We’re dedicated to a vision of thriving nonprofits.
“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
— Often attributed to Steven Covey or Viktor E. Frankl
Tell us what you are trying to do and we will help you devise a strategy to get it done, well.
Who we are:
EV Strategic Partners is a cooperative group of nonprofit professionals turned consultants who support managers and leaders in achieving their goals. We have walked in your shoes and sat at your desks. We know how the parts are connected. We formed this group out of a deep commitment to the nonprofit sector. We believe that the world needs this third sector, the one that cannot do what the public nor profit driven sectors can.
We choose to do this work for the same reasons you do. We are here because we could have used some support while in the depths of it and want to give others what we know makes a difference in how the work proceeds. We are the work partner you don't have. Not the one you have the coddle or posture for. We don't see ourselves as consultants in the traditional sense but as allies to our field and the individuals who make the work work.
We believe
-
That responding to is more productive than reacting
-
In making decisions based on information and strategy
-
In adhering to a positive ethos
-
In doing what you can do, not focusing on what you can't
-
In building organizational culture that promotes employee longevity
-
That needing for help isn’t a sign of weakness, but of indication of success
What we do and how we do it:
We begin by listening to your organization’s story, your triumphs, and your trials. We want to understand what you do and how you do it but most importantly why you do it. Tell us not just what you do but why you do it, where the sticking points are, when and where the big wins have come and how that happened. Then we go to work.
We will help you:
-
Create the time and space to do the thinking
-
Identify the people to engage in the process
-
Assess your current situation
-
Articulate what is most important to you
-
Define the outcomes as well as the outputs you seek to achieve
-
Devise a strategic path toward those goals
-
Create tools for decision making that support those strategies
-
Work by your side to implement internal or programmatic shifts
Whether this is a new org chart, a long term budget outlook, revising your tech stack, a new way of positioning your various programs to support each other, helping you find the people you need to do the jobs, creating a development strategy, or preparing funding proposals, we're the extra set of hands you've been missing.
