Direction, awareness, data, people, funding. Take one, take all five. Either way somebody from here is in it with you on a Tuesday, doing the work rather than reviewing it.
Good & Well Institute is a nonprofit that provides: strategy and facilitation, marketing and communications, data and storytelling, training and development, and funding and grants to other mission-based organizations.
They are rarely separate problems. Thin funding is usually a data problem wearing a coat. Take one, take all five, or start with the one costing you the most right now.
“We have a strategic plan and nobody has opened it since the retreat.”
The plan was written for the funder, not for the Tuesday it has to survive. So it sits closed, and nobody owns the next step.
“We have been here years and the county still does not know what we do.”
You are well known by the people already in the building. The ones you were built for have not heard your name.
“We have the data. I cannot make a funder care about it.”
The number already exists. Nobody has pulled it out of your intake forms and put it in a sentence yet.
“I am training nobody, and I cannot afford to lose the ones I have.”
Nobody taught your managers how to manage. It is the most common gap in the sector and the least talked about.
“We know we could win it. We do not have the time to write it.”
The writing is not the hard part. Finding the one you actually qualify for, and getting it filed while the rest of the work carries on, is.
The review is scoped to what you hire us for. One service, we review one. All five, we review all five. Either way we look at what you already have before we propose anything, because half the time the thing you asked for is not the thing costing you, and we would rather find that out on our time than on your invoice.
What we look at
Only the ones you are hiring us for.
Whether the plan on the shelf still matches what you actually do.
Where the money comes from, and how concentrated it is.
Whether the people you serve can find you in the places they look.
What you already collect, and what it can prove today.
What only one person knows how to do.
What you leave with
From $1,000, and yours to keep whether or not you hire us. If somebody else is a better fit, that is in there too.
Thirty minutes, no deck, no charge. You get a straight answer on whether we can help and roughly what it runs. If we are not your people, we will tell you who is.
