NONPROFIT MANAGEMENT CONSULTING

D P Forand

A view of the nonprofit world from a variety of roles
Employing the unique vantage point and combined experience gained from many years as a board member, staff member, donor, foundation representative and elected official, I focus on the particular needs of each client and provide thoughtful analysis and customized solutions to help them identify and reach their goals. 

Best practices that are tailored to your needs
As a nonprofit professional, I know how important it is to be fully engaged in best practices.  I also know that all organizations are different, and a one-size-fits-all approach to consulting just doesn’t work.  All the recommendations I make are grounded in best practices and carefully tailored to meet your organization’s particular goals and needs. 

A partnership of active inquiry
I believe that the key to getting the right answers is asking the right questions.  I bring specific skills and expertise to the relationship, but I see my clients as full partners in generating ideas and solutions. Together, we map out a process and identify goals to help the organization best fulfill its mission. 

Looking at consulting from the client’s point of view
Having served on several nonprofit senior management teams, I’ve worked with numerous consultants as a client. The high expectations I have for my own work product are based on firsthand knowledge of how much time, energy and financial resources are invested in the process.  When a project is entrusted to me, I approach it with the same sense of anticipation, optimism and importance I remember feeling as a client.  ​

My Approach

I believe in a customized consulting experience for each and every client.
