When it comes to researching topics that can help agencies drive mission impact, OneSource Center leads the way. And often, this is exactly the type of project that gets pushed to the back burner due to lack of agency resources.
How can OneSource Center help? - Stakeholder Interviews – What do clients, funders, volunteers, collaborative partners, and others think about your services? We provide trained unbiased interviewers to design, conduct, and help you analyze the results to key questions you need answered as you engage in strategic planning or business service changes.
- Feasibility Studies – How much can you expect to raise in a special campaign and what is a reasonable timeline for doing so? Are other nonprofits seeking similar funding? Does the agency have a history or mission fit with targeted funders? Is the new program feasible? Should you own or rent your building?
- Grant research – Are there grant funders you haven’t considered or program elements that could get support through targeted grant research?
Want to see how our specialized consulting services can help your organization attain best in class status? Contact Vickie Ciotti, VP Consulting Services, for more information. A conversation is FREE, and could get your organization on a path to increased reach! OneSource Center is a nonprofit ourselves – we want to help you succeed! |

Additionally, OneSource Center recognizes the under-representation of people of color among the leadership in the nonprofit sector.
In response to our objective and recognition of the current state, OneSource Center has established the OneSource Center Emerging Leader Award.
