Consulting Services and Web Applications for Nonprofits
Ecurium offers consulting and web application services to charitable organizations, supporting them through all stages of organizational development.
We leverage our years of academic training, hands on professional experience, and purpose-built software to help you develop successful growth-focused strategies, execute targeted plans and programs, and evaluate measurable outcomes to make informed decisions on improvements, future collaborations, and expansions of your organization’s mission
We help you consider the big picture and its implications on your mission and goals.
We understand that the bottom line for a nonprofit is maximizing social impact by successfully advancing its mission. In today's rapidly changing world, nonprofits need a clear strategy for the future. A masterplan that finds the right fit between desired results, programmatic developments, and field urgent needs such as demand for services, competition, and funding opportunities.
We support you through the entire process of identifying the right funders, developing impactful grant application(s), and submitting completed proposals.
Our experience, research expertise and data help us: 1) identify which funders that will support your mission; 2) develop a grant application which speaks to the funder’s core values and mission so that it will be noticed; and 3) submit a thorough grant application package which meets all requirements to pass initial administrative review and later, upon award approval to facilitate expedited process of funds release.
We are frequently asked to help design and manage our client’s grant programs, performing a part-time Program Officer role to ensure the received grant funding is properly executed.
We work with you to improve and enhance your nonprofit’s ability to achieve its mission and sustain itself over time. Our expertise includes preparing, reviewing and analyzing strategic plans, board development, volunteer engagement, and program execution from which we can make recommendations on how to grow and expand your organization’s operational capacity.
We believe that this is not a one time effort, but an ongoing process that brings a nonprofit to the next level of operational, programmatic, financial, or organizational maturity; so that it may more effectively and efficiently advance its mission long into the future.
Maximizing your organization’s mission success relies on good decisions, and these come from an accurate and thorough understanding of your organization’s operational strengths and weaknesses.
We use the ‘applied science’ approach to evaluating your organization’s capabilities, areas of needed improvement, and level of social impact by utilizing both quantitative and qualitative research analysis methodologies to provide an informed assessment of the business. Understanding this information will better empower you to focus your energy and resources on those activities which are most impactful and to work on those, which need to be improved on.
Our analysis, research, management, and other services are augmented with a variety of internally developed software applications. These proprietary tools help us quickly find, analyze, and manage information derived from a wide range of publicly available data sources (for example: NIH/PubMed, IRS TEOS, ROR, etc.) for and on behalf of our clients.
As a public service to the community, we are (and will be) making some tools available for free; these include publicly sourced ‘Funding Source’ and ‘Nonprofit’ search tools as well as hosting a Mastodon social media server for the nonprofit community located at publicgood.social (see Resources page).
