We help nonprofits scope their business strategy challenges into actionable consulting projects. Then we recruit, train, and support teams of volunteer business professionals to deliver custom-made recommendations - all free of charge to the nonprofits.

On Track Program

Strategy consulting projects for local nonprofits, completed by teams of volunteers from the local community over 4-8 months.

Compass gave us access to a level of experience that we did not have internally. That experience and honest feedback and support was incredibly valuable to a nonprofit like ours that just simply lacks the capacity in some areas to fully dive into various issues as was the case with creating a better framework for our board to be effective fundraisers."
