Strategic Growth Model Consulting
Your non-profit is sitting on a valuable asset that can supercharge your mission’s growth:
The data that you have.
The Power of A
Strategic Growth Model
Operating a sustainable and impactful non-profit is incredibly challenging and honorable work. Leading a successful organization deserves a unique approach.
Your custom Strategic Growth Model provides real time insights based on your own data, and an executive dashboard empowers you to feel confident in your decisions.
The Strategic Growth Model is the unsung hero that fuels your mission's growth.
Imagine This:
Imagine getting in your car to start a roadtrip, but realizing your phone is dead and you don’t have your phone charger. All the GPS superpowers inside your phone are locked up, and you’re left to take uncertain turn after turn. Ultimately, perhaps you’ll find your way to your destination, but it may take longer than you thought, be riddled with challenges, and make for a rather uncomfortably uncertain trip.
This is what growing your non-profit is like without tapping into the strategic assets of your own data.
By creating your custom Strategic Growth Model, you can confidently sit in the driver’s seat, knowing that each decision and step you take to grow your non-profit is rooted in measured data, evidence, guided by human intelligence and your expertise in your field.
Here's What You'll Leave With:
Deep-dive consulting research into your data → strategic recommendations
Consolidate disparate data sources into a single source of truth which operates as the strategic hub of your non-profit
A custom executive dashboard designed around your objectives and goals, with real time data showing you what’s going on

Coaching Corps
Working with Sarah has been incredibly productive. It gave me the confidence and clarity to recommend strategic shifts to our team. The best news is that the team is on board, and we've set the plan in motion that I developed with Sarah. I love how clearly the work we did connects our staff's activities and strengths to the impact we have in the community.

Mill City Grows
With Impact Aligned we talked through what the goals of the program were, we thought about the things that we could measure, and we created a Tracker and a Dashboard to look at how we were achieving our goals, and how we were charting revenue and expenses. This let us look at who we've helped overall, how we've helped them, as well as how much it's costing us in terms of inputs and what we're getting in terms of outputs. It gives us a really clear picture of how this brand new program is working.
