The nonprofit sector is experiencing an escalating leadership deficit that is unprecedented.  As this sector expands and baby boom executives retire, some estimates suggest that several hundred thousand new executives will be needed to fill these vital roles over the next 10 years.  Board leaders need to be effective partners with chief executives in this environment.  Investing in leadership capacity is essential to the health and growth of nonprofit organizations.

The Dala Consulting Group offers leadership training that focuses on:

• Partnering for success – the Chair and Chief Executive relationship;
• Identifying and developing leadership strengths and talents;
• Visionary thinking and planning.

Successful fundraising is based in a well-defined vision and plans for achieving that vision.  Communicating your organization’s vision – through your web site, appeal letters, newsletters, or in face-to-face conversations – can and must be learned.  Vision-based fundraising builds authentic relationships with donors.

The Dala Consulting Group can help you and your organization:

• Overcome the fear of fundraising through understanding the dialogue process and practice, practice, practice;
• Understand your vision and share that vision with donors and prospective donors;
• Develop a fundraising campaign and train staff and volunteer solicitors for success.

Many grantmakers fund organizations and programs that provide services that are interventions in deeply-rooted social problems.  How can you identify opportunities to fund initiatives that provide long-term solutions and lasting positive change? 

The Dala Consulting Group can work with you to:

• Define what social change grantmaking means to your organization;
• Identify types of funding opportunities that support social change;
• Develop funding guidelines and an application process geared to the right audience of prospective grantees.
