…Helping Nonprofits survive, adapt and grow

For Foundations:

  • Are your grantees good stewards of your gifts?
  • Are they adapting to today’s challenging and complex realities?
  • Are they resilient?
  • Are you looking for an easy to use, cost effective, and scalable option for use by multiple organizations that will provide you with aggregate data results?

If you had all of these answers, and your grantees had a plan for solutions with concrete action steps, would it strengthen the outcome of your gifts, and the impact of your grantees’ programs?

Whether you are a public or private funder or policy maker, increasing the resiliency of nonprofits to face the complex social and economic landscape is an ongoing concern.  You are looking for transparent methods to increase the effectiveness of your grantmaking and to measure the social value of the impact from your grantees. Patmos Consulting is pleased to offer a solution, providing technology and consultative services.  We address the need for the adoption of market-based solutions to help nonprofits succeed in the challenging environment for resources and increased demand for their services and help them align organizational process and systems for greater mission effectiveness. Our Organizational Resiliency Gameplan Assessment software tool and strategic services are vital resources for foundations interested in strengthening the nonprofit sector.   An overview of our services include:

  • User friendly diagnostic tool that helps strengthen individual nonprofits

Patmos:  Listening at the point of need. We have listened to nonprofit leaders who are frequently asked to answer surveys and generate reports but rarely receive feedback and tangible steps on how they can improve, much less receive benchmarks which show how their organization is doing.  We have listened to board and management who may have a Strategic Plan, but in this fast changing environment are looking for a Gameplan to strengthen their organization and map out needed change.  With financial margins thin, we have heard their need for cost effective tools and resources.  Those who have participated in the use of the Organizational Resiliency Gameplan are telling us that the experience helps them feel empowered to leverage structure and relationships to build organizational capacity and scale their social impact.

Introducing the Organizational Resiliency Gameplan

A game-changing solution and strategy that creates sustained, measurable, systemic change in helping you to build healthier, stronger and more resilient nonprofits, we are pleased to offer our gateway tool known as the Organizational Resiliency Gameplan (“ORG Tool”). The ORG Tool is the first of many new e-learning and software tools from Patmos Consulting that help facilitate dialogs between grantors and grantees in effective grantmaking and the implementation of strategic planning outcomes.  As an online survey with carefully targeted questions, it measures your nonprofit’s health across a range of capacities, identifies urgent concerns, and provides you with a tailored road  map by producing a Resiliency Gameplan report.  Our customized tool and report satisfies your need for a low cost, broad based resource which identifies vulnerabilities, affirms strengths, and outlines clear steps with extensive recommendations, including supplemental tools and a resource library.

Should board and management need further assistance beyond the software tool and report, we offer additional analysis and proven services to help your nonprofit adapt and grow in the face of today’s complex and challenging environment.  A sample of services we are effectively offering to our nonprofits include:

  • Board Governance and Leadership Succession Planning
  • Strategic Planning
  • Organizational Assessments and Alignment of Processes and Systems for Greater Mission Effectiveness
  • Financial Management Practices
  • Continuity of Operations Planning for Reducing Risks and Preparing for Business Interruptions and Disasters
  • Developing Organizational and Programmatic Metrics

The Organizational Resiliency Gameplan produces a resiliency score (much like a financial credit score) that is benchmarked against industry best practices in five major areas. This instrument has been validated through extensive research, advisory experts from a pool of grantees and foundations, and financial experts with real world experience serving on nonprofit boards and major corporations.  The tool has already been tested across a diverse array of organizations.

The Organizational Resiliency Gameplan is the first of many new e-learning and software tools from Patmos Consulting that help facilitate dialogs between grantors and grantees in effective grantmaking and the implementation of strategic planning outcomes.  Purchasing a Participant Pass for your organization or for grantees includes:

  • A preliminary training webinar and access to the software & technical support
  • A printed Resiliency Gameplan Report for your nonprofit organization and an overall resiliency index score compared to your sector, budget & demographics
  • New tools and perspectives with which you can make better choices about governance, finances, scalability, market interaction and increased social impact
