Nonprofit organizations face many unique challenges. Passion, dedication, and expertise drive nonprofit organizations’ leaders, staff, and volunteers to change their communities. However, external expertise and a new perspective can help maximize impact. That is when it’s time to hire a DANA consultant. 

DANA Consultants bring several advantages to our projects: 

Experience: The broad experience of our network of 20+ staff and affiliated consultants, especially in Delaware, allows us to apply the lessons learned from multiple organizations. 

Customization: DANA tailors our consulting engagements to meet each nonprofit’s unique needs, from emerging nonprofits to well-established organizations looking to scale their impact. 

Objectivity: Being removed from day-to-day operations allows us to identify issues and opportunities that may otherwise be overlooked. This fresh perspective can lead to innovative solutions and strategies that propel the organization forward. 

Network: Our connections in the nonprofit sector can open doors to new funding opportunities, partnerships, and collaborations that might otherwise remain undiscovered. 

Future Focused: We not only help solve immediate problems but also provide transferable knowledge and skills. This empowers our clients, making them capable and confident to meet similar challenges independently in the future, fostering long-term sustainability. 

Affordability: By becoming a DANA member and engaging a DANA consultant, you can access high-level expertise at below-market rates. This ensures that you can benefit from our services without compromising your financial security. As a DANA member, you also get access to DANA workshops, on-demand resources, and other programs to help organizations achieve their full potential.
