Personalized Strategy and Financial Consultations

2020-04-13T09:54:08-04:00April 10th, 2020|Events, Nonprofit Resources, Training Opportunities|

Nonprofit Montgomery in partnership with Orgforward, and with support from DHHS, is expanding the consultation and coaching that has traditionally been reserved for our FIRM program. We are offering members the opportunity to receive a coaching session with Justin Pollock of Orgforward to help with immediate strategy or structure decisions you are faced with.

A small team from your organization will have 1.5 hour to meet via Zoom with Justin to think through and plan around a current issue you are facing or decision you are trying to make.

These sessions could help you with: 

  • make strategy or structure decisions
  • develop financial forecasts for various short and long term scenarios
  • help prioritize goals and determine what it will take to advance those goals in the current environment.

Please fill out this interest form if you would like to reserve a space for your organization.
