The Georgia Center for Nonprofits provides quality consulting services to more than 100 client organizations annually, representing a variety of sizes, stages, and needs. Here are just a few of the nonprofits we have served.
The Georgia Center for Nonprofits' consulting services team helps nonprofit and philanthropic leaders develop strategies and build strong organizations that accelerate and grow their social impact. As the leading consulting organization for Georgia's nonprofit executives and board members, we have a breadth and depth of management consulting experience in virtually all major categories of consulting services. In addition, our consultants are available for individualized presentations at retreats and workshops.
Strategic and Business Planning
Our results-based approach to strategic planning begins with a process of educating the leadership team on the importance of impact-based planning. We use a data-driven approach, facilitate participation and buy-in by board and staff, and conclude with solid, actionable plans which align your impact goals with strategies that achieve results.

Board Development & Governance
We help underperforming boards to grow stronger. We also work with strong boards to help them become exceptional. We train and consult with hundreds of organizations annually to educate them on the roles and responsibilities of the board, recruiting and retention of the right board, and developing and managing boards.
Organizational Development
GCN has a proven process for conducting organizational assessments that help nonprofit leaders and boards to assess their organization, to prioritize development needs, and to build action plans for progress. The first step is frequently an organizational effectiveness study.

Executive Coaching & Team Building
Our consultants are facilitators, coaches, and teachers who work with nonprofit leaders to help them evaluate leadership and management gaps to take them to the next level. We begin with an assessment and then develop a customized plan, providing coaching all along the way. We provide tools and recommend training to accelerate this progress.
Executive Succession Planning and Transition
GCN consultants have experience in succession plan development both for senior staff and for boards of directors. GCN can design a workshop or training for boards or leaders on succession planning or provide direct consulting, coaching and project leadership.
Fund Development
GCN consultants assist with a wide range of fund development projects. These include working with the executive director and board to develop and enhance capabilities, develop fundraising assessments, fundraising plans, feasibility studies or helping with a particular fundraising capability area such as major gifts. Our consultants also often speak at board retreats on fundraising development, best practices, and the board's role.
Board Transition
As an independent project or as part of broader board development, GCN can work with your executive or board leaders to develop a plan for how to enhance board succession. This may include identification of governance or nominating committee roles, recommendations on processes and support for recruitment, and orientation and development processes.
Marketing
Our consultants can help you craft a comprehensive marketing plan or work on specific marketing projects. We have expertise in areas such as public relations and communications, branding, social media, and direct marketing and sales. GCN can also help you develop income generating strategies and marketing and sales plans. GCN has designed and delivered marketing curriculum, and we offer a marketing certificate workshop series within Nonprofit University.
Partnerships & Collaborations
Collaboration capabilities are increasingly important to funders and nonprofits as a means to enhance limited capabilities and resources. GCN's position in the center of the nonprofit world enables access to a full network of members, experts, peers, philanthropists, and information. We work with organizations to create a strategy for collaborations and to identify and structure effective partnerships.
