Planning is not one size fits all. Good strategy is built within the context of your organization and operating environment. Shoebox can facilitate a process to produce the plan that fits your organization. It may be a year-long bridge plan to navigate known change or uncertainties, a three-year framework to focus the work of a growing organization, or a five-year plan to sustain an organization on a confident foundation.

Organizations can go grow their capacity to make good on the mission in many ways. Shoebox supports capacity building by establishing and improving internal structures, supporting external partnerships, and fundraising through grant-seeking and capital campaign communications.

In the current non-profit landscape, project management requires diplomacy, EQ, and a varied skillset. Complex, multi-organization, or multi-department projects may require navigating various working competencies styles inside and outside of your organization. Shoebox brings the diplomacy and know-how to support diverse collaborative projects.

Twice a month, Shoebox offers pro bono coaching for nonprofits. You are welcome to inquire about spot coaching via the contact page.

Maine Association of Nonprofits member organizations may also join Shoebox and other consultants at free Sounding Board coaching sessions.
