Our Philosophy

Enterprising Strategies operates on the principle that successful nonprofits are enterprising, that they are distinguished by their imagination, their initiative, and their willingness to take on new challenges. Nonprofits organizations, like their for-profit cousins, operate in a highly competitive environment. Those that successfully adapt to changing times and circumstances survive. Their revenues increase. Their stature and influence grow. Their membership expands. And, most importantly, they realize their goals and objectives. The others fail. Resistant to change, they drift from crisis to crisis, forever fighting just to stay afloat.

 Our Approach

Leadership is an art, not a science. There is no formula for success, but there are certain traits and practices that contribute to good outcomes. We work with nonprofit leaders and their organizations to develop those traits and practices. We start by getting to know your organization: its history, its strengths, its weaknesses, and its potential. We work with you to determine your special needs and then develop a plan for addressing them. It may be a simple improvement in operations, or may it be the development of a formal strategic plan. Whatever it is, we work with you to ensure that you get the help and advice that you need. If we cannot provide you with the very best direction for your project or activity, we will gladly recommend those that can.

 Our Commitment

What matters most to us is the success of your nonprofit. Life is too short to work for doomed enterprises. If we accept an assignment from your organization, it's because we believe in your mission and goals. We have confidence in your organization and our ability to serve it. We want you and your organization to achieve your enterprising best. And because we do, we will be there when you need us. We will work with you in a friendly and collegial fashion, always respecting your leadership and judgment, but never fearing to give you an honest and full appraisal. We will tap your creative potential, helping you design effective strategies for tackling old problems and new challenges. Your success is our bottom line.
