Management Assistance Services

Now more than ever, the Management Assistance Services of the Alabama Association of Nonprofits can help you accomplish your mission and run your agency more effectively.
We have qualified, experienced consultants who can assist you in a variety of areas. Just call us for direct assistance or we will direct you to our Consultants and Service Providers Directory. You have the opportunity to ask for help from one of our staff or let us help you find the right assistance for your nonprofit.

Alabama Association of Nonprofits can help you either directly or facilitate your staff with consultants who can address:

Research Projects:
Want to find out what your members think about your organization and its offerings? Need to know what your reputation is in your community?

Organizational Assessment:
Want to have a snapshot of your operations to determine what areas are being done the right way and which ones need more work to be effective?

Strategic Planning:
Schedule a session that will help you and your Board map out your future destinations, prioritize staff and programming needs and set up action plans to ensure that you reach your goals.

Public Relations/Marketing:
Determine your priority stakeholders. Define the specific messages you want them to receive. Pick the best communications media or special activities that can communicate those messages…then put it all together in a plan that can be implemented in concert with your strategic planning efforts

Fund Development/Fundraising:
Take a close look at all aspects of raising money and decide what’s best for you. Learn to maximize success in your funding efforts.

Personnel Searches:
Need assistance in finding just the right person to fill that important job in your agency?
