What we do

Nonprofit boards represent the moral ownership of the organization and must take responsibility for its health and direction. With an underpinning in one of the best frameworks for boards, the Carver Model of Policy Governance (R), we help boards and their members unlock good governance and discover the courage to fulfill their proper role as stewards of their charitable organizations.

Every nonprofit must find
the right blend of programs and income-generating activities
that will sustain it for the long-haul while staying focused
on its mission and values. We can help you craft a blueprint
to achieve your strategic objectives, from program development,
to revenue generating strategies, to determining the infrastructure
needed to put your plan into place.

We help you build powerful, ongoing conversations with your communities of donors, beneficiaries and professional peers. You communicate effectively when you clearly understand and respond to the needs and expectations of your critical audiences. You will know you have been effective when those audiences, in turn, respond to you with appreciation, patronage, support and contributions. Our services include:
- Constituency research: interviews, focus groups, demographics and analysis on your key audiences.
- Communications planning: goal-setting, activity schedules, budgeting and evaluation plans
- Print communications: copy and graphic design for brochures, newsletters, annual reports
- Multi-media: project design, creative services and project management for videos, exhibits and Web sites.

We believe that every citizen can and should help to make public policy plans and decisions, from how schools are run to what kind of business development should be encouraged in the community. Gayle's book, Meaningful Participation, An Activist's Guide to Collaborative Policy-Making is quickly becoming a standard tool for citizen-activists. You can buy the book or, even better, ask Gayle to help you design or review your public engagement strategy.

How can you make real change in a constantly changing world? What will it take to create your desired future? Cause & Effect strategic planning helps organizations step back from their day-to-day work to take a systematic look at themselves and the world around them. We work with you to craft organizational consensus on the right work to be done and a flexible plan to get there.

Work doesn't have to be a chore. We can help your staff learn to work together more effectively, efficiently and joyously. Cause & Effect Inc provides facilitative guidance through the process of identifying problems, creating productive group processes and effectively building new solutions to the problems you face. While we can help you design retreats, you'll be more effective when you follow-up those retreats with more comprehensive work process improvement.
