Join Forefront and the Association of Consultants to Nonprofits for Ask A Consultant: a monthly interactive, solutions-oriented, virtual office hour with experienced consultants focusing on participants’ burning questions.
As nonprofits have felt the financial squeeze, now is an excellent time to hone in on your central purpose. It’s the opposite of mission creep – these are the days for crystal clear definition of impact. These consultants will share how you can use key metrics and data, analysis of past work, and even storytelling to keep your mission front and center for your staff and your donors.
Panelists:
