CONSULTING

  • Resource (Fund) Development Planning-

    Everything we think about Fundraising is wrong! Create a resource development plan based on research and data that leverages strategic partnerships and donated income streams for sustainable growth through earned income streams. These methods are proven to increase funding and resources significantly. Workshops are now available through the current book tour and online.

  • Strategic Vision Planning & Facilitation-

    Many consultants can get your organizational leadership in a room and hammer out a vision plan. But these plans are often thrown in a drawer for three years and never touched again. That is not helpful. Zoot’s process starts with a comprehensive 90-day evaluation and report because you can’t know where you are going until you know where you are coming from. That is followed by a facilitated stakeholder retreat and a final 3-year vision plan created by consensus with all major stakeholders. But it doesn’t stop there. Those goals are tied to objectives with timelines and budgets and training on how to use them, update them, report on them, and use them as a living document helping leaders manage and achieve their goals.
