Donor Customer Relationship Management (CRM), grants management, and LMS modernization for nonprofits and mission-driven organizations.

Donor-CRM and constituent-data-platform modernization across Salesforce NPSP, Blackbaud (Raiser's Edge NXT, Luminate), and Bonterra (formerly EveryAction and ActionKit) footprints is the integration-and-data-quality discipline that determines whether a development office operates from a single constituent view or reconciles data across systems for every campaign. The work begins with a current-state platform inventory, a constituent-data-quality audit, an integration assessment across CRM, finance, and engagement platforms, and a use-case prioritization across major-gift, mid-level, annual, and grassroots fundraising. A senior consultant produces a target-state platform decision record, an integration design that connects the CRM to finance and to engagement surfaces with appropriate latency, a data-quality framework that handles the per-channel and per-source variability, and a migration-strategy decision record that handles the campaign-cadence the development office cannot pause. Deliverables include the platform decision record, the integration design, the data-quality framework, and a measurement framework tied to retention, average-gift, and pipeline-velocity outcomes. Successful outcomes look like a constituent view the development team trusts, a major-gift pipeline managed in the platform rather than parallel spreadsheets, and a campaign-execution cadence sustained through cutover. An engagement typically runs ten to fourteen weeks, embedded with the development office, the data-and-analytics function, the IT-and-platform team, and the finance organization.

Fundraising and grants-management platform work is the audit-trail-and-workflow discipline that handles federal-pass-through requirements under 2 CFR Part 200 (the Uniform Guidance), foundation-specific reporting expectations, and the grant-management cycle the program teams actually run. The work begins with a current-state grants-management platform audit, a federal-pass-through-evidence review, a foundation-reporting requirements inventory, and a workflow audit across pre-award, award, post-award, and closeout. A senior consultant produces a target-state platform decision record, an audit-trail architecture that produces evidence for federal program-officer reviews and OMB single-audit requirements on demand, a workflow design that integrates program, finance, and compliance functions, and an integration design across the grants-management platform, the financial-system, and the program-management surfaces. Deliverables include the platform decision record, the audit-trail framework, the workflow design, and a measurement framework tied to grant-cycle-time, drawdown-cycle-time, and audit-finding outcomes. Successful outcomes look like a single-audit cycle that closes without findings on the federal-pass-through evidence, a grant-cycle-time materially reduced, and a program-and-finance rhythm that handles the federal cadence. An engagement typically runs ten to fourteen weeks, embedded with the grants-management function, finance, the program-leadership team, and the IT-and-platform organization.

Association-management-system replacement (iMIS, Personify, Fonteva, Nimble AMS, and successors) is the program-design discipline that determines whether a member-renewal cycle, an event-registration cycle, and a certification-program cycle survive cutover or produce a member-experience excursion. The work begins with a current-state AMS audit, a member-data-quality assessment, a renewal-and-event-cycle review, and an integration audit across the AMS, the financial system, the LMS or certification platform, and the engagement surfaces. A senior consultant produces a target-state platform decision record, a migration-strategy decision record that handles the member-renewal cadence, an integration design across AMS, financial, LMS, and engagement platforms, and a parallel-run reconciliation framework with tolerance bands defined per revenue category and member class. Deliverables include the platform decision record, the migration strategy, the integration design, and a cutover playbook reviewed by the membership, finance, certification, and IT functions. Successful outcomes look like a renewal cycle that closes on plan in the new platform, an event-registration cycle that handles peak load without member-experience degradation, and a target-state platform that supports new product introduction without bespoke development. An engagement typically runs twelve to eighteen weeks for the program-design and pre-cutover phases, embedded with the membership leadership, finance, the certification function, and the platform program team.

LMS modernization for higher education across Canvas, Blackboard, and Brightspace is the integration-and-accessibility discipline that determines whether a learning platform supports faculty workflow and student outcomes or produces compliance and adoption gaps. The work begins with a current-state LMS audit, a FERPA-aligned data-flow assessment across the LMS and the third-party-tool footprint, an accessibility audit against WCAG 2.2 and Section 508 expectations, and an integration assessment across LMS, SIS, IDP, and the third-party EdTech tools faculty have adopted. A senior consultant produces a target-state platform decision record, a FERPA-aligned data-flow design that handles the third-party-tool footprint with the LTI 1.3 and OneRoster discipline the standards demand, an accessibility-program design grounded in faculty-and-student outcomes, and an integration design that handles the SIS-and-IDP synchronization on the cadence the academic calendar imposes. Deliverables include the platform decision record, the data-flow design, the accessibility framework, and an integration design. Successful outcomes look like an academic-year cutover that closes inside the planned window, a FERPA posture that survives a parent or student inquiry, and an accessibility program that supports faculty with measurable improvement in student outcomes for accommodated learners. An engagement typically runs ten to sixteen weeks, embedded with the chief academic technology officer, the registrar, the office of disability services, and the platform-engineering team.

AI-assisted research and knowledge-management work for nonprofits, foundations, and research institutions is the citation-and-curation discipline that determines whether RAG-based platforms produce defensible research output or confident hallucinations. The work begins with a use-case inventory across program research, grantmaking diligence, and knowledge dissemination, a current-state knowledge-asset audit, a citation-and-provenance discipline review, and an evaluation-harness assessment grounded in the consequence tier of each use case. A senior consultant produces a use-case prioritization, a RAG-architecture decision record with citation-and-provenance instrumented from day one, a curation operating model that handles the corpus the institution can responsibly maintain, a prompt-engineering operating model that scales across teams, and an evaluation-harness design with subject-matter-expert-defined ground truth. Deliverables include the use-case decision records, the RAG architecture, the curation operating model, and a measurement framework tied to research-cycle-time and quality outcomes. Successful outcomes look like a research-tooling deployment with quality measurement the program officers and researchers trust, a corpus-curation cadence the institution sustains, and a measurable research-cycle-time improvement defended on practitioner evidence. An engagement typically runs eight to twelve weeks, embedded with the research-and-knowledge function, the program leadership, and the IT-and-platform team.

ESG and impact reporting for nonprofits and mission-driven organizations is the framework-alignment-and-data-platform discipline that produces credible outcome reporting across GRI, B Corp Impact Assessment, the Impact Management Project framework, and the funder-specific reporting demands the institution must meet. The work begins with a framework-alignment assessment that maps the institution's mission and program portfolio to the relevant disclosure frameworks, a current-state outcome-data audit, a data-quality assessment against the assurance-grade discipline major funders increasingly require, and a use-case prioritization across funder reporting, board reporting, and public disclosure. A senior consultant produces an impact-data architecture target that integrates program, grant-outcome, and operational data into a controlled disclosure pipeline, a methodology decision record per outcome category that distinguishes activity-based from outcome-based measurement, a control framework appropriate to the assurance level major funders expect, and an integration design across program, grant, and finance platforms. Deliverables include the architecture decision record, the methodology framework, the control documentation, and a measurement framework that ties impact-reporting to operational and funder outcomes. Successful outcomes look like a funder report that closes without rework, a B Corp recertification that completes on plan, and an impact-data foundation the executive director and the board both trust. An engagement typically runs ten to fourteen weeks, embedded with program leadership, finance, the impact-and-evaluation function, and the data-platform team.
