Sometimes it helps to have an experienced leader come alongside to support defining and determining where the organization is going – its north star and its map for getting there. Other times there just aren’t enough experienced hands at the helm to execute on projects or to oversee functions that may not yet have full-time needs. Steadfast provides fractional leadership, embedded with your organization, to fill in those gaps and help ensure your organization is on a path to success.
For mission-oriented organizations, responding to changing conditions requires agility and an ability to pivot without mission creep or compromising on priorities. Having sound processes that anchor an organization’s work help with this reality. Rely on Steadfast’s experience to optimize and expedite change and process management, keeping your team’s commitment level high throughout.
Raising the funds needed to support your organization’s ambitious goals requires a healthy and successful development and fundraising capability. This requires both science (best practices in data management, donor action planning, research, and revenue forecasting) and art (strengthening relationships, donor engagement, expanding your pool of supporters). Meeting revenue goals takes hard work. Let us share the load and bring our experience and knowledge to bear.
No mission can be accomplished without the right team of people working towards shared goals. Sometimes you might feel like you’re searching for “unicorns” to meet your needs. Steadfast has proven experience in hiring great talent, performance management systems, coaching and professional development programming. And because our model includes embedding with your organization, we have a deep and data-driven sense of what talent you are in search of and how to help your staff achieve their full potential.
Is there a short- or long-term program that you need to staff, but hiring additional personnel may not make sense? Because our team has experience in all aspects of non-profit management, we are able to pull together the right set of skills to execute programs – especially where those needs might vary. Maybe event planning is needed one month, but communications and media expertise is needed in another. Our flexible team allows you to have both at once in one package.
Steadfast believes that relationships are our biggest asset for changing the world. We have experience in bringing together diverse groups of people to focus on a common goal and creating successful partnerships under challenging circumstances. Keeping these coalitions and partnerships healthy and effective takes time, skill and investment. We can help.
We all know that our work needs to reach our key audiences in order for it to have the desired impact and move our missions forward. But taking this concept and turning into action and results is not always easy. Sometimes it takes a fresh look at your branding, communications strategy, media outreach, or creating marketing to your specific audiences to move our goals forward. Steadfast is standing by, ready to help.
Steadfast’s partners have been researchers and policy experts, as well as led research and policy teams. If you have a temporary research need, or have a gap on a policy team where an experienced subject matter expert would help, get in touch with us. Our deep experience in research, and broad network of policy experts can help elevate and accelerate your goals.
Steadfast can be your partner to help lead your organization, a department or a specific initiative or project. We can help lead, or participate in your strategy development, both long- and short-term.
