First, we offer customized advising, in which we partner closely with a diverse set of nonprofits / ngos and support them on a range of topics and priorities: - strategic clarity - growth and scaling - program strategy and alignment - funding strategy - organizational effectiveness and designsecond, we offer cohort-based advising, in which we offer coaching and capacity-building programs for groups of leadership teams: - leading for impact (lfi): 12-month cohort-based experience that combines classroom sessions and targeted project support - leadership accelerator (us) and bridgespan nonprofit development program (asia and africa): support for ngo leadership teams on critical strategy and management challenges through a combination of digital tools, workshops, and 1-on-1 coaching
