The foundation determines the dimensions of a building. It's the durable base that everything else sits on. Sometimes the environment changes or we want to add on.
The same principle applies to organizations. When external conditions change or organizations start to add on new programs, more staff, or grow in other ways, the supports may no longer work the way they used to.
These are some signs your foundation needs to be strengthened.
I've successfully assisted nonprofits and other nonprofit consultants in strengthening their operational foundations to support growth.
By optimizing work processes, you can save resources, alleviate stress, and often boost income.

These are some signs your foundation needs to be strengthened.
- Everyone is working hard and making a difference.
- But sometimes it’s stressful or maybe most of the time.
- Service disruptions occur when everyone has to wait until a particular staff member is available.
- With fewer and fewer dollars available, you struggle to hire staff and maintain the same level and quality of services.
- You work harder to raise more money and reluctantly accept that exhaustion comes with the territory.
