Project Development

The nonprofit world has no lack of Big Hairy Audacious Goals or passion to back them up. But taking the leap from dreaming to doing can be messy, costly, and more stressful than it’s worth when there’s no plan to guide you.

Victoria’s deep experience designing and developing practical, manageable, effective projects and programs gives her clients the support they need to launch, sustain, and grow their mission-critical initiatives with less stress, less money, and better results. With her assistance, you and your staff will:

  • Champion new projects to the board, donors, and funders with clear connections to mission, capacity, and existing strategy.

  • Integrate methodologies that serve your whole community, including evidence-based design, trauma-informed practice, accessible approaches to service, and more.

  • Feel ready to roll out new and expanded services knowing every detail of implementation—from staff and volunteer time to participant needs to cleaning supplies—has been accounted for and planned for ahead of time.

  • Meet the inevitable unexpected challenges with the information you need to adjust expectations in-the-field.

  • Build and sustain a culture of evaluation and evidence that supports your decisions for next week, next quarter, and next year.
