We help nonprofits increase their sustainability. Enhancing sustainability often means building capacity, adjusting the business model, employing a new strategy, refining the governance model, or restructuring internal systems. The results are better community engagement, increased donor generosity, better client outcomes, more clients, better client retention, and increased sustainability.
At one end of our client base are clients who are doing well but see the opportunity to step up a level. At the other end are those who are dealing with adverse trends. The trends create concerns about the longevity of their organization and need more help than just a little diamond polishing.
Our clients cover the full spectrum of nonprofits (traditional nonprofits, faith-based groups, churches, parochial schools, arts organizations, as well as the startups and well-established agencies).
Does the preceding suggest that Mission Enablers is all things to all people? We hope not. Our focus is sustainability. How do you establish, maintain, increase, or regain it?
Our focus on sustainability enables us to help with some of the toughest problems – reversing adverse trends. This includes helping an organization that is worried about closing find a way to return to vitality.

Yes, every organization has a business model. Some business models develop informally and some are intentional. All of them need a little tune-up from time-to-time. Has your been tuned up recently?
