The Challenge & Promise
Passion + Best Practices = Impact
90% of nonprofits in the U.S. have budgets under $1 million — and 60% operate under $250,000. Most were founded by passionate leaders who put everything else aside to change the world. That commitment is the heart and soul of the sector and cannot be taught.
​
However, as organizations grow, leaders must shift from vision to management — finance, governance, fundraising, and demonstrating impact — skills rarely required to start a movement.
​
GSD partners with funders to identify organizational needs and build strong, resilient nonprofits that deliver the lasting results you envision. We’ve guided nonprofits through mergers, leadership transitions, funding pivots, and periods of growth.
GSD doesn’t just advise — we implement. Nonprofit leaders are busy! We work side by side with them to implement and integrate the systems their organizations need to thrive, turning inspiration into sustainable impact.
​
How it Works
We work with you to define the competencies your grantees need to develop. We then help choose a set of grantees who commit to the process.
​
Over the course of the next six months, we provide training, coaching, and tools to support the learning and implementation of the competencies within each grantees' time constraints and context.
​
With decades of nonprofit experience and a record of results, we’re committed to helping organizations sustain impact in their communities.
