Non-Profit Services

For most Non-Profit organizations the challenge of maintaining and acquiring funding never ends. Funders continually require evaluation data to justify monies spent and future financial commitments. Agencies must compile reports with the necessary data to be paid. Yet, the required data is often arduous and sometimes lacks application to service priorities.

An effective evaluation system fills the gap between meaningless data and meaningful information. Anyone familiar with the Non-Profit sector will verify that staff and agencies do much with little to serve communities. While there is no doubt that great work is being done, it can be difficult to communicate the quality and quantity of work in a meaningful way. Olive Branch Consulting can help your organization develop an effective evaluation structure that requires minimal effort for maximum gain. You will benefit from increased information gathering of interest to agency members and to funders.

Non-Profit staff work hard with often little financial rewards. Their motivation comes from their desire to serve their clients, however burn-out can reduce motivation and cause previously satisfied staff to become overwhelmed. If morale within an organization decreases, conflict and staff turn-over often increase. Agencies can avoid the negative effects of conflict and low morale through collaboration, team-building, mediation, and conflict resolution education.

In the midst of these strengths and challenges, organizations can benefit from evaluation, education, and mediation services to improve efficiency, increase employee morale, and acquire the needed funding. Contact us for more information and a custom plan for your agency.
