Assess, Refocus, Reinvent Your Organization,If You Want to....
If your organization is thriving or struggling, you need a plan and someone to help you implement it.
Why Smoke Jumper?
I work with nonprofit organizations that are thriving, in crisis, in transition or are looking to assess, refocus and make a new start!
I specialize in strategic planning, resources assessment / short term planning, planning special events / campaigns, secondary market development, volunteer / staff recruitment and development.
Note: I am doing mostly pro bono work these days. So, I am willing to assess your organization, make recommendations and then assist with the implementation on a limited way basis. Greater involvement will involved a fee.
If your organization needs support to continue your success, reevaluate your direction, rebuild your infrastructure and you need a plan and a helping hand to get there..... I can help you.
Mission Statement
Smoke Jumper Nonprofit Consulting will partner with nonprofit organizations to identify and address any critical issues and opportunities. I will help develop a plan and support its implementation. The goal always being to increase funding / public support , increase public awareness and mission delivery .
My Experience
With 40 years in the nonprofit industry, I have gained experience, knowledge and wisdom from working on the front lines of a large national nonprofit. I have learned through having successes and making some mistakes.
For over 10 years, I served as an interim executive director for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I was charged with going in to markets and protecting the campaign / special events revenue stream, ensure best practices compliance, and address any personnel issues. I excelled at breaking down silos and quickly getting buy-in from the staff and volunteers. I gravitated towards opportunities, problems and issues. I am proud of the success I would have in turning a chapter around a short period of time.
I want to take this experience and knowledge and share it with other nonprofits. I want to put it to work for you by combining my experience with my passion to help others. I don't believe in advising and then leaving, I will want to work with you to see it through!
