A team of experts to help you think through your options.

Facing tough decisions? Feeling overwhelmed? Just Take5!

What is Take5? It is a highly customized yet affordable way for organizations to tap into focused expertise in all areas of nonprofit management.  In these incredibly unpredictable and challenging times, many leaders either feel they have no options, or that that there are too many shifting variables to begin to navigate a clear direction. Organizations are seeking expert and objective counsel on how to best serve their constituents, remain viable, and be well-positioned for an economic recovery.

Take5 provides our clients with a "cabinet" of highly experienced consultants who will listen and provide counsel, coaching and recommendations specific to your organization.  Clients select 5 areas of focus from among:

·         Programs and Evaluation
·         Fundraising
·         Web 2.0 and Social Networking
·         Marketing and Communications
·         Human Resources
·         Governance and Board Development
·         Financial Management and Scenarios
·         Effective Use of Technology
·         Strategy and Planning
·         Mergers, Partnerships and Collaborations
·         Volunteer Engagement
·         Earned Income Ventures/Social Entrepreneurship
·         Team Building

Olive Grove will provide the organization with a project manager and a team of experts to help identify options and foster effective decision-making in each of the five areas. Generally within 4-6 weeks, the organization will receive a brief report highlighting options and recommendations in each area as well as additional resources, articles, links, and information. Should the client require more in-depth assistance in any particular area we can provide more extensive services customized to their unique needs.
