Upstream Consulting’s Purpose is to help innovative leaders to develop and resource organizations during times of growth or challenges, while remaining viable to the communities that they serve.

Upstream Consulting’s Approach is to partner with community leaders to ensure that each consulting project fits with the organizational culture and contributes to the development of strategic goals. We also help you to identify and adapt proven practices that make sense for your organization as well as increasing your viability in the rapidly changing political and fundraising environment.

Consulting Services
Upstream’s consulting approach does not depend on cookie-cutter tools or one-size fits all services. Instead, we partner with community leaders to ensure that each project is driven by your organization in the context of its strengths and challenges – both internal and external. Projects may incorporate one or more of the following activities:

• Organizational Development: assessments, strategic planning and implementation, board and staff development, and fundraising planning
• Program Development: feasibility assessment, program design, implementation, and evaluation planning
• Program Evaluation: planning, design, implementation, and analysis
• Grant Development: Private and government grant development and project management
  Project Management: goal setting, workgroup formation and facilitation
• Management and Staff Development and Coaching: one-on-one and groups
• Training and Curriculum Development: Logic modeling, DEBI overviews, evaluation, etc.
