For more than 35 years, Cause Effective has strengthened the nonprofit sector by helping over 5,000 nonprofits build sustainable communities of supporters. We provide carefully tailored counsel to help nonprofits diversify funding, raise more money from individuals, activate boards of directors, and get the greatest value from special events and anniversaries so they can achieve long-term community change. * We design in-depth, customized interventions: from one-day board retreats to multi-year governance and fundraising strategies. * We lead interactive workshops that engage our client organizations and their peers. * We offer timely ideas through our in-person counsel, e-newsletter, blog, and the Special Events Toolbox. Cause Effective partners closely with each client to create a powerful, customized roadmap that builds on the organization’s history, relationships and cultural values to help board members, staff, and volunteers develop fundraising competencies they didn't know they could attain. We are interventionists and problem solvers – but we don’t just tell nonprofits what to do, we roll up our sleeves and work side by side with them. We are realists, yet we help our clients reach for previously unobtainable growth. As a nonprofit ourselves, we understand the unique demands that nonprofits – and the people who work in them – face. Our goal is to help nonprofits achieve lasting, transformational change.
