Bright Ideas for Non Profits

Bright Ideas For NonProfits + Entrepreneurs That Want To Do Social Good: You got into this work because you want to do BIG things in the world and make positive change, right? But as you probably know, running a non-profit (or a small business) isn’t for the faint of heart

Work With Me

Let me know if any of this sounds familiar:

• The year end is right around the corner and you still are nowhere near your goal and have no clue where that money will come from
• You have a board that doesn’t feel like they know how or want to fundraise
• You’re on your 3rd, 4th, and 5th Development hire and can’t figure out how to find the right people
• You are having a hard time finding donors who support your mission and you are exhausted after yet another expensive event that didn’t get the results you wanted
• You are doing the job of 5 people and you are burnt out
• You want to give back to a charity or cause but there are SO MANY and you don’t know where to begin

I get it and I can help. Hi, my name is Kishshana and I help nonprofits + entrepreneurs who want to do good become great.

What do I mean by great? Well…

• Great means breaking out of your rut and raising more money for your mission than ever before
• Great means having board members that are JOYfully serving as ambassadors for your organization and doing everything they can to make sure your organization is successful
• Great means having a donor family; not just donors (and there IS a difference)
• Great means having team members that LOVE to come to work and are doing their best work every day
• Great means recruiting and retaining talented fundraising professionals that stick
• Great means aligning your business with a nonprofit that fits your business, your values, and your passion

I am not your average non-profit consultant. Think of me as your own personal Olivia Pope. I come in and just FIX it.

Here are some things I can do to make your organization better:

• Train your board and staff so that they can raise more $ right now
• Help your people find joy in their day-to-day work and find their strengths so they do better work
• Build your human capital plan for development so that you hire the right people for your fundraising teams the FIRST time
• Stand in the gap when you have a leadership change or executive vacancy and keep the business moving in the right direction

You are looking to make BIG THINGS happen for your organization and I am committed to helping you make these things happen.

  

Here is how it works:

I start off by asking what you want to achieve.
Then I analyze your current practices and work with you to create a plan that will achieve your goal. This plan looks different for each organization (I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all)

Everything ain’t for everybody.

I work best with leaders who hate the cookie cutter style of non-profit consulting and want to be able to kick off your shoes and have fun while getting stuff done

You’ll love working with me if you:

• Don’t have a lot of time to waste and need results now
• Don’t have a network of big names to draw advice from
• Don’t have a ton of money to spend but know you need to invest now
• Don’t want to get another book or attend another webinar that leaves you feeling overwhelmed with what you need to do
• Don’t want to spend another day paddling hard under water while pretending to have it all under control

More than anything, you’ll love working with me if you are READY for a change in your organization right now and not later!

Stick with me and by the end of our time together you will have everything you need to make your non-profit great. Can I get a heck yeah?!

Ready to roll?

    Senior Director at Koya Leadership Partners

    When looking for a thought partner, there are few people I trust more than Kishshana. She is that special, yet very rare, combination of capable do-er, visionary leader and likeable teammate. One thing that I've found to be an absolute strength is her ability to "see around curves". Kishshana is able to anticipate and foresee things that others may not pick up on because they do not have the depth and breadth of experience that Kishshana brings to each role. But even with this extensive experience, it has not made her apprehensive or conservative. She thinks big and takes calculated risks that lead to significant impact on teams and organizations. She is thoughtful in her approach and insightful in her analysis of each situation. Without trying, she puts those around her in a position to constantly learn from her and as her career has progressed, she has demonstrated that building teams and developing others is high on the list if many talents that she brings to the table.

    All Stars Helping Kids

    All Stars Helping Kids has worked with Kishshana several times, all with excellent results. In the past, we brought her in to help us craft our Development Plan and Annual Plan, as well as work with our Board (on two occasions). She is always prepared and professional, bringing her expertise and years of experience to the interactions, while being warm, engaging, funny and (my favorite part) a bit irreverent. Most recently, we brought her in to lead a fundraising workshop with our grantees. She walked them through different styles of pitching, helped them focus on their ideal donor profile, and gain other much-needed skills. The workshop was entirely tailored to their needs and, thanks to her fantastic prep-work, the grantees left useful with take-aways, including her slide deck. I look forward to working with Kishshana again, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a polished, professional and personable expert!
