Nonprofits are drowning in complexity.

Weak operations can impact your mission

  • You’re onboarding new staff without clear systems

  • Your team doesn’t have the expertise you need to effectively manage your finances

  • Your fiscal sponsor is slowing you down, or your organization is outgrowing its structure

  • You’re constantly putting out fires instead of building toward the future

Strong systems can unlock potential!

After working with BCC, organizations feel:

  • Clearer about who’s doing what, and how

  • Prepared because policies are in place before problems arise

  • More connected with staff and partners—because your structure supports your values

  • Mission-focused, not admin-burdened

“Big Change Consulting is a dream come true for nonprofit organizations trying to juggle it all with strained budgets and capacity.”

— Rebecca Wiggins, Executive Director, Association for Financial Counseling & Planning Education
