The bulk of our work remains remote, and like most of you, we are professionally and personally grateful for the technology of Zoom, WhatsApp video chat, and FaceTime to help us conduct business and stay connected to our friends and families. As we close out the second year of this awful pandemic, we look forward with hope to a better new year and a world-embracing science where… - [Looking Ahead: Nonprofit Strategic Planning](https://nesc.org/looking-ahead-nonprofit-strategic-planning/): While the nonprofit and for-profit sectors differ significantly, one thing they have in common is the importance of strategic planning. The National Council of Nonprofits defines strategic planning as the process that “identifies strategies that will best enable a nonprofit to advance its mission.” A strategic plan outlines the goals of an organization and how the organization will achieve those goals. The strategic plan is essentially a roadmap guiding both day-to-day and long-term operations.   Some argue against strategic planning because the work environment changes so quickly these days. However, if done correctly, strategic planning has many benefits to a… - [We’ve Survived This Far, But What Do We Do Now?](https://nesc.org/weve-survived-this-far-but-what-do-we-do-now/): Like every other sector, the COVID-19 pandemic hit the nonprofit sector hard. At the onset, donations dropped, doors closed, and cash reserves dwindled. However, the nonprofit sector could not halt operations. While the rest of the country paused, the need for nonprofit services only grew, and our country’s nonprofits delivered.  Nonprofits delivering direct care services adopted a hybrid model with employees utilizing phone and virtual options when possible and still providing direct care when not. Successful nonprofits shifted their efforts online to cover these new costs and make up for in-person fundraising events. Many utilized social media and email campaigns… - [Roundtable: Nonprofit Strategic Plans that Deliver Results](https://nesc.org/roundtable-strategic-plan-2/): There is nothing permanent except change. The dynamic organization, in order to survive and thrive, must envision the future and reform itself to meet it, thereby shaping its own destiny. To remain static – to resist change – spells disaster. It is better to be active in shaping those changes than to be caught up in a reactive mode. Strategic planning should be at the top of the agenda for any nonprofit organization. So, we have all probably done a strategic plan for our organizations, right? Why, then, do so many nonprofits have strategic plans that sit on the shelf… - [Roundtable: 6 Steps to Make Your Board More Involved and Effective at Fundraising](https://nesc.org/roundtable-board-fundraising-2/): The release this week of Giving USA 2018: The Annual Report on Philanthropy for the Year 2017 contained both encouraging trends as well as signs of potential concern that nonprofit board members should be thinking about as they plan their fundraising efforts. As expected, charitable contributions increased significantly in 2017, reaching $410 billion, up 5.2% compared to 2016. All four major sources (Individuals, Foundations, Bequests, and Corporations) increased their giving, and almost all nonprofit sectors saw an increase in donations received. But behind the topline data, there are important warning signals that have implications for nonprofit fundraising in the future: The… - [Budget Planning: 5 Reasons Why Nonprofits Fail Financially & How To Avoid Them](https://nesc.org/roundtable-financial-sustainability-2/): This is the time of the year when many nonprofit organizations are focused on preparing their budgets for the new fiscal year that will begin in July. As you complete your budget checklist, it’s important to look beyond just the next year’s finances, and think about the long-term sustainability of your organization. The financial sustainability of a nonprofit organization must be a priority of its leadership team and board. It should also be incorporated into both its ongoing management decisions as well as its longer-term strategic planning. Yet, nonprofits often only focus on financial sustainability reactively – usually after a… - [Education Consulting Services for Connecticut](https://nesc.org/ct-education/): Are budget dollars being spent optimally to support the district’s mission?

This means building and cultivating a pipeline of high performers and leaders, and taking steps to plan for leadership transitions before there are open positions that need to be filled. Yet only 34% of nonprofits report that they have a written succession plan in place. For existing staff, nonprofits must develop their competitive edge by creating and managing talent pools for mission-critical roles, identifying skills gaps… - [Roundtable: Time to Get Serious About Social Enterprise](https://nesc.org/roundtable-social-enterprise/): With diminishing charitable donations and public funding becoming a major issue for many nonprofit organizations, today’s nonprofit leaders are looking to social enterprise as a way to generate potentially significant sources of unrestricted cash that will reduce their nonprofit’s reliance on traditional funding to support its mission and achieve its goals. What is Social Enterprise? Social enterprise is any activity that: Helps to deliver on an organization’s social mission and Delivers a sustainable financial return For most nonprofits, this is done by leveraging and monetizing existing assets.  Types of assets that might be leveraged include: Human: Do you have employees or… - [Roundtable: The Nonprofit Business Plan – A Tool for Organizational Success & Increased Funding](https://nesc.org/roundtable-business-plan/): In a world of diminishing resources and ever increasing demands for improved service delivery, the pressure on nonprofit organizations to do more with less grows each day. The nonprofits that will survive are the ones who can critically self-assess their organization and best communicate their value to funders. Foundations – like everyone who invests – want to be sure that they are making a great investment. At a minimum, they want to ensure that any nonprofit they support is financially stable and acting with the highest integrity. In addition, funders want to see clear financial records, good accounting systems, and detailed support… - [Roundtable: Managing Your Nonprofit Under the Proposed Trump Budget](https://nesc.org/roundtable-budget/): Many nonprofits are understandably worried about the additional financial pressures that may be created by the new Trump administration’s budget priorities. The preliminary budget proposal released in March raises concerns in two major ways: Sharp reductions in federal funding support for nonprofits, particularly in social services and in arts and culture, and A huge increase in the standard income tax deduction, combined with reductions in marginal tax rates for wealthy individuals, which will greatly reduce the tax benefits of charitable giving. And many state governments are also facing the pressure to address budget challenges by cutting funding for schools, social… - [Roundtable: Organizational Assessments: A Solution to the Questions That Keep Some Nonprofit Leaders Awake At Night](https://nesc.org/roundtable-oa/): “What keeps you awake at night?” To this, many nonprofit leaders respond that they wonder whether their organization is structured to maximize potential. For example: Do I have the right people in the right place doing the right things at the right time? Are there organizational weaknesses that could pose a risk to success and – even more serious – the survival of the organization? How can I improve the organization’s performance, especially in a time when the operating environment is changing and resources are dwindling? One way to answer these questions is through performing an Organizational Assessment. What is… - [Roundtable: Should My Nonprofit Collaborate?](https://nesc.org/roundtable-collaborations/): Why Collaborate? True collaboration is a mutually beneficial and well-defined relationship, in which two or more organizations work together to realize shared goals. With 1.4 million charities in the U.S., and growing, there continues to be talk and pressure for collaboration.  Why?  Here are just a few reasons: Duplication of programs Competition for scarce resources Need for increased scale/ improved efficiency Management changes Funder encouragement Effective collaboration promises benefits including less duplication and overlap of services, greater efficiency and effectiveness, and better outcomes. And funders encourage collaboration to increase the impact of their investments. With many nonprofit leaders approaching retirement,… - [Case Study: Arts Organization - Strategic Plan](https://nesc.org/case-study-sp-arts/): This case study describes how a strategic plan helped a nonprofit arts organization establish and accomplish its long-term goals. The organization came to NESC after a funder told them they needed a strategic plan to grow their organization. NESC started by interviewing the staff, board, and key stakeholders to understand what the organization did well, what they could improve upon, and which other arts organizations provided similar programs and how well they did them. Then a competitive analysis of other similar arts organizations was conducted to understand their respective boards, financials, funders, programs offered, and other key metrics. Later, a Planning… - [Roundtable: Tips for Finding the Right Nonprofit Executive Director](https://nesc.org/roundtable-search/): Hiring the right executive director is perhaps the most important decision that a nonprofit Board can make.  The search process behind this decision can be long and unruly; or it can be thorough and productive. By breaking down the process into tasks and conducting them with integrity, search time can be spent wisely and good decisions can be made. Here are some tips to keep in mind to find the right candidate for your position: Organize the Search Determine who “owns the process” — often a Board-appointed committee, sometimes including non-Board experts. Determine who will do the work — the… - [Roundtable: Branding - The Mark of a Strong Nonprofit](https://nesc.org/branding/): Branding and marketing are not synonymous. Great marketing – in both for-profit and nonprofit organizations – starts with strong and consistent branding, which is then reinforced by the organization’s people, programs, and communications. Think of it this way: a brand is an organization’s identity – the essence of what you are. This brand identity is sent out into the world through marketing communications and is influenced by every interaction or experience that constituents have with your organization. Brands embody the strategic positioning of an organization – who you are, what you stand for, and how you are unique. Brands are based… - [Roundtable: Are Your Board Meetings Time Traps?](https://nesc.org/board-time-traps/): Do people arrive late? Skip meetings? Do members come unprepared? Is precious meeting time spent on unproductive items? With board meetings at the center of most members’ nonprofit experience, efficient and rewarding sessions are paramount. Naturally, Board Chairs want each member to leave feeling time was well-spent, and even eager to come back. True, avoiding typical time-wasting traps adds to a Board Chair’s long list of responsibilities, but in the long run, time spent sidestepping habits that sap strength and interest is well worth it. Try planning your meeting in three stages, keeping in mind that each stage is equally… - [Roundtable: Nonprofit Governance - Who's in Charge?](https://nesc.org/nonprofit-governance/): Mixed messages due to ill-defined roles damage board productivity. The #1 obstacle to successful governance is board and staff not knowing who is in charge of what, according to Nancy Falls, author of Corporate Concinnity in the Boardroom. Beyond the obvious – the Board guides and Management operates – NESC has observed numerous nonprofit organizations struggle because they have not clearly divided up the work. These struggles become especially pronounced as nonprofits grow and change. What happens when a board shifts from operational concerns, to governance, to fund raising? Or when the founding Executive Director retires; the composition of a board… - [Case Study: Food Bank for Westchester — Board Development](https://nesc.org/case-study-fb4w-board-development/):   Started in 1988 with one man and a van, the Food Bank for Westchester (FB4W) has grown to be the supply and support center for 227 front line hunger relief programs throughout the county. The organization collects, warehouses, and distributes 10 to 12 tons of food a day, providing 95 percent of the food that front line centers distribute. The Challenge FB4W planned to move to a new refrigerated warehouse that would triple its capacity. Knowing this growth would present opportunities for the organization, it wanted to strengthen its board of directors to be prepared to maximize these opportunities. The… - [What Is Social Enterprise?](https://nesc.org/social-enterprise/): Left to right: Thomas S. Lyons, Ph.D., Lawrence N.

John MacIntosh, Partner, Sea Change Capital Partners. Susan Constantino, President, Cerebral Palsy of New York State. Joe Townsend, SVP of Social Enteprise, NESC. Gregg Young, Board Member, NESC. Social Enterprise is the pursuit of unrestricted cash flow through leveraging and/or monetizing existing assets. This new source of revenue developed from existing assets is becoming more valuable in the current economic downturn, when monetary contributions from endowments, government grants and foundations are on a… - [Roundtable: What Does It Mean To Be Mission-Driven?](https://nesc.org/mission/): While a corporation’s success is measured by its bottom line and stock value, a nonprofit organization’s success is measured by its ability to achieve its mission. A nonprofit’s mission statement establishes its purpose with both passion and conviction. It should be the foundation upon which all plans and decisions are made. What does it really mean to be mission-driven? Could you do it better? As NESC launches this Roundtable series, we feel it appropriate to revisit the importance of not only formulating solid mission and vision statements, but truly using them to drive management decisions. The mission is the purpose statement: why… - [Case Study: The Western Connecticut Youth Orchestra — Organizational Analysis](https://nesc.org/wcyo/): The Challenge For many years, the Western Connecticut Youth Orchestra (and its affiliated Junior Orchestra) operated as The Ridgefield Symphony Youth Orchestra, an arm of the Ridgefield Symphony, offering youngsters, through high school ages, a chance to receive quality orchestral training and to perform publicly. Increasingly, however, the Youth Orchestra began operating independently, ultimately concluding that it should separate completely from The Ridgefield Symphony. To help it navigate this process, it turned to NESC. The NESC Solution The NESC team served as a kind of midwife for the youth orchestra’s rebirth as an independent organization. First the team interviewed the… - [Case Study: Bergen County — Municipal Shared Services](https://nesc.org/bergen-county/): The Challenge Bergen County, New Jersey, is exploring and promoting ways that municipalities may cooperate and share activities as a means of generating savings and thereby moderating residential tax burdens. NESC was engaged for two projects concerning shared services by the Public Works Departments of contiguous municipalities within Bergen. The first, entailing 13 municipalities in the northwest part of the County, led to the second, serving another group of 16 municipalities known as the Riverside Cooperative. The NESC Solution In these engagements NESC consultants interviewed all municipality Borough Administrators and Superintendents of Public Works, as well as County officials. They… - [Case Study: Outreach Project — Branding & Marketing](https://nesc.org/outreach-project/): The Challenge Outreach Project, which has been providing drug and alcohol services in the New York metropolitan area since 1980, stands out as a leader in the provision of adolescent residential services, services for women and children, and treatment services for diverse populations. In addition, it now operates the largest Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC) Diploma training program in New York State. Despite its great success Outreach Project felt the need to increase its visibility in the markets it serves. To accomplish this, Outreach management asked NESC to help in the development of an effective branding and marketing… - [Case Study: MDRC — Risk Assessment](https://nesc.org/mdrc/): The Challenge MDRC, created in 1974 by the Ford Foundation and a group of Federal agencies, is best known for mounting large-scale evaluations of real-world policies and programs targeted to low-income people. The organization has also worked with others to design and evaluate such research programs. MDRC’s board audit committee requested an outside assessment of the firm’s corporate-level risk. Management selected NESC to perform this assessment. The NESC Solution NESC assembled a team of consultants with technical expertise in risk assessment. The group interviewed 21 senior- and mid-level MDRC employees, and evaluated external environmental factors. NESC delivered a comprehensive report… - [Case Study: Connecticut Humanities Council — Operations Review](https://nesc.org/chc/): The Challenge In 2006, the Connecticut Humanities Council (CHC) embarked upon a year-long environmental scan to evaluate the CHC’s heritage grant-making effectiveness. The scan identified three areas of greatest challenge facing heritage organizations today: the necessity to understand the changing interests of new audiences, the necessity to create and support effective leadership, and the necessity to improve financial stability. In response, the CHC overhauled and re-shaped its traditional granting programs in the fall of 2007 into two granting strands: organizational effectiveness (inward looking) and community impact (outwardly focused). Next, the Council created a Heritage Resource Center and Field Services Program… - [Case Study: Asia Society — Executive Search](https://nesc.org/asia-society/): The Challenge In its sixth decade, Asia Society is an international organization dedicated to strengthening relationships and deepening understanding among the peoples of Asia and the United States. Having opened five international offices and four domestic offices and decentralized its financial systems, Asia Society found that it had outgrown the capabilities of its finance department. The organization engaged NESC to find a new chief financial officer with experience in multi-country, multi-office operations who would raise the level of financial management and professionalism to that of other world-class global entities. The NESC Solution NESC’s Executive Search team researched and interviewed candidates… - [Case Study: Jazzmobile — Marketing](https://nesc.org/jazzmobile/): The Challenge Founded in 1964, Jazzmobile seeks to keep alive and strengthen the heritage of Afro-Latin jazz, a uniquely American art form, through quality performances and educational programs. Sensing a deterioration in its reach in connection with its 45th Anniversary, Jazzmobile engaged NESC to prepare a total communications plan aimed at bolstering its brand awareness, appealing to a broadened range of ethnic and age groups and, just as importantly, increasing its revenue opportunities. The NESC Solution NESC consultants developed a comprehensive and multi-faceted marketing program to heighten Jazzmobile’s visibility while at the same time create new revenue potentials. They presented… - [Case Study: Life’s WORC — Social Enterprise/Earned Income](https://nesc.org/lifes-worc/): The Challenge Long Island-based Life’s WORC provides comprehensive support for individuals with developmental disabilities, including mental retardation and autism. Founded in 1971, the agency manages 32 homes and 11 community-based programs throughout Long Island and Queens. The organization has a very effective IT operation. So much so that it has succeeded in making IT an important part of Life’s WORC’s corporate culture. It also has sufficient capacity to enable it to provide its IT services to other nonprofits, particularly on Long Island. As a result, Life’s WORC asked NESC to develop a business plan for selling its IT services.

Some nonprofits, particularly early-stage and small ones, are better off with a roadmap. A roadmap is a 12-to-18-month action plan that focuses on achieving a few goals. A strategic plan is a much more complex project. It starts with identifying internal strengths and weaknesses and external opportunities and threats, commonly called a SWOT analysis. After completing the SWOT, the organization can identify key priorities and an action plan for each priority. NESC offers both roadmaps and strategic plans. A roadmap takes about three months, while a strategic plan… - [Roadmap](https://nesc.org/roadmap/): An NESC Roadmap enables a client to establish goals and manage the process of achieving them.
