SOLOMON ASSOCIATES provides a broad range of consulting services to the nonprofit sector, including public and human service agencies; educational, religious and cultural institutions; and advocacy and community-based organizations.  We help ensure high quality service delivery by strengthening organizational effectiveness.  We work closely with an organization to:

• Address and resolve issues that impede fulfillment of its mission
• Identify its long-term goals and objectives and plan to achieve them
• Ensure effective acquisition, management and utilization of human and financial resources
• Recruit, employ and retain key personnel

ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT.  An effective organization understands both its strengths and weaknesses, and is attuned to the environment in which it operates.  It recognizes the necessity of prudent resource management in an era of limits.  It clearly articulates its mission, goals and objectives to attract consumers and supporters to its programs.  Its service delivery is focused and consistently dependable.  And, its professional and volunteer resources are utilized creatively and effectively.  We assist organizations to become more effective through:
 

Strategic planning  Board development and training  Organizational assessment  Program development  Financial management/accounting services

Program evaluation Executive search Human resource planning Survey research Information management services

FUND DEVELOPMENT.  At a time of diminishing public and institutional funding, an organization must act to ensure adequate and diverse sources of revenue.  Board and staff members must incorporate fund development as a principal organizational activity.  To support fund development effectively, the organization should communicate a compelling message that elevates its mission and services to prominence, underscores its competence and strengthens its volunteer support base.  We support this essential function through:
 

Campaign management/staffing  Development/campaign planning  Donor identification/cultivation  Planned giving program development  Promotional materials development

Campaign feasibility studies Grant proposal writing Solicitor training Interim development staffing Communications/marketing
