What is technical assistance?
Whether you’re facing a new challenge or exploring an opportunity, having a thought partner can make all the difference. Propel Nonprofits knows that talking through ideas can help leaders identify actionable steps and move forward with confidence. With deep expertise in finance, governance, and strategy, their goal is to support nonprofit leaders as they navigate both obstacles and opportunities within their organizations.
Propel provides thought partnership and guidance across the areas listed below. Their support is always informed by your organization’s context — including funding conditions, the political and economic environment, your position in the fiscal year, and any additional information you choose to share.
Throughout the conversation, Propel will offer recommendations and share relevant resources. Some may involve services that Propel provides, while others may point you to experts in different fields. You do not need to know exactly what topic you want to discuss before booking time with us—they’re here to listen, understand, and work with you to get unstuck.
Examples of what Propel can help with includes: cash flow planning, budgeting and reforecasting, business model review, scenario planning, governance questions, and preparing for a loan.
We are grateful to Propel Nonprofits for their partnership in hosting the Focus Forward: Nonprofit Office Days.
