You've Grown Something Real.
Ready to Take It Further?
You've built something incredible. Your team has grown to double digits, your programs are making a real impact, and you've been at this for over a decade. But here's the thing—the methods that got you here? They're starting to hold you back.
Maybe you're overly dependent on a single revenue stream, even though you know you need to diversify. Maybe your founding leadership is stretched thin trying to handle both vision and day-to-day operations.
Perhaps you know you need better systems and strategy, but every "nonprofit best practice" feels like it was written for organizations three times your size. Sound familiar? You're not broken. You're just ready for what comes next.
HOW WE CAN HELP
Strategic
Planning
We don't create plans that sit on shelves. We facilitate strategic planning processes that help you make tough decisions, set realistic priorities, and create roadmaps your team can actually execute. The result? Plans that become living documents, guiding real action.
Organization
Assessments
Sometimes you need an outside perspective to see what's really going on. We conduct comprehensive assessments of your operations, culture, and systems to identify what's working, what isn't, and where your biggest opportunities lie. Think of it as an organizational health check-up.
Fundraising Support
Learn how to build sustainable fundraising that goes beyond events and emergency appeals. From developing donor relationships to creating systems that support long-term giving, we work with you to create fundraising approaches that fit your organization and actually work.
Board Development and Training
Getting full board engagement can be one of your biggest challenges as a nonprofit leader. We help you develop board members who understand their role, contribute meaningfully, and truly advance your mission (rather than simply attend board meetings).
Leadership Coaching
One-on-one or small group coaching sessions equip you with the tools and techniques you'll need to get peak performance from your team, and develop the next generation of leaders for your non-profit organization. We provide the training and education to help you and your organization grow.
Your Challenges, Your Strategies
Schmucker Advising Group specializes in one thing: helping established medium-sized nonprofits evolve from good to great. We don't hand you a cookie-cutter playbook. Instead, we use our proprietary organizational development and change model to work with you to discover the solutions that fit your unique situation.
Here's what we've learned after years of working with organizations just like yours: there's no one-size-fits-all answer. The strategy that transformed another nonprofit might be completely wrong for you. That's why we don't prescribe. We ask the right questions and help you find your own path forward.
