Non-Profit Services
Non-profit organizations are as different as the services they provide. Religious, Environmental, Social, and Humanitarian-based groups a well-known types of non-profit organizations yet each group has its unique challenges and opportunities. Providing public services can be a complicated enterprise. Non-profit entities in many communities are being asked to provide more services than they can support. Pearson Innovation can facilitate the innovation process to invigorate the non-profit organizations on which the public relies. Let PI help you strengthen and grow your organization through careful planning, analysis, and resource matching.
Mission Planning
At the heart of every non-profit is a desire to improve or sustain some treasured resource. In many cases, it may be easy to imagine what outcomes are desired, but understanding how to reach those outcomes may not be as evident. PI can assist by facilitating the planning process with organizational leadership and other key stakeholders.
Fund Raising Support
One of the top concerns for any non-profit may be how to sustainably maintain services. While each organization is different, a portfolio of fundraising efforts may be necessary to keep the non-profit financially viable. Such fundraising initiatives may range from local races, community bake sales, golf tournaments, live/silent auctions, and black tie galas. PI can provide analysis for recommending which type of fundraising will best meet the needs of the organization and help plan and facilitate the event.
Service Evaluation
Non-profit organizations may excel in fulfilling a necessary service but struggle to determine how well or effectively those services are being offered. A systematic review of programs and services is a useful asset for organizations dependent on public trust and ongoing funding. PI provides value to the organization and community by independently evaluating the services provided. Included in this study is a detailed analysis of the quality of services viewed, hidden costs, centers of excellence, and opportunities for improvement. Building a portfolio of excellent services attracts additional investments from within and outside the community. Understanding which efforts influence the growth and quality of the services provided is essential for modern non-profit organizations.
Community Needs Assessment
The needs of each community are unique. Applying one-size-fits-all solutions can be a disastrous approach to serving the public. PI can help you integrate local knowledge with advanced analysis techniques to understand how the competing needs of a community affect each other and how to efficiently structure services to maximize the value to the community.
Annual Reports
The production of an annual report is essential for non-profits. This document is a multi-faceted asset for the organization. While an annual report intends to provide transparency and foster accountability, it can also be an effective marketing and fundraising tool as well. Finding the right mix of compelling narratives engaging quantifiable figures, and visually appealing graphics can be challenging. PI can provide the expertise to document the achievements of your organization in a way that honors the volunteers and donors who support the mission of the organization.
Board Management Solutions
The Board of Directors for any non-profit must be able to clearly understand the opportunities and challenges of the organization. Many non-profit organizations struggle with connecting board members to timely updates. PI can provide assessments to streamline the effort needed to keep board members appropriately engaged through automated reports and custom solutions.
