  • In my 30-year career, I've worked on many strategic plans for nonprofits but I am often confounded by the complexity of the process and the product.  For small nonprofits with small teams, strategic planning can become burdensome.  Prosper really understands that I will help you build a plan that makes sense for your organization.  I am delighted with our end result -- one board member described the process as magical.

  • Everything we did with Prosper exceeded my expectations. It was all clearly based in research and strategy. Plans were well laid out and easy to follow, giving us a clear vision for our work. We also have the ability to reference and update these materials for years to come. We are excited to launch our new campaign concept this year as well as donor acquisition programming.

They take the appropriate amount of time to become well versed in your subject matter, giving them the best insights to develop the best assets and strategy for you.
