More About Us:

Our Mission

The Fresh Take team is dedicated to the vitality of the nonprofit sector. We believe in the power of partnerships and the importance of relationships. Our goal is to help clients achieve meaningful—and sustainable—results by delivering on our promise of candid assessment, genuine collaboration, and practical strategies.

Our Experience

If we’re being honest, the Fresh Take team has been around a while and we’ve pretty much seen it all. It’s likely we’ve even been in your shoes. We have celebrated amazing accomplishments and we have been weighed down by impossible expectations. Sometimes we had everything we needed to succeed—the right team, committed leadership, and ample resources to get the job done. Just as often, we had to rely on resourcefulness and sheer will to get to the finish line—finding the work-arounds, bouncing off of the roadblocks, and digging deep to power through—oftentimes flying solo.

We believe that the our hard-won practical knowledge and wide-ranging experience can be a force for good and that we can offer a fresh take on the fundamentals of development while energizing the big dreams of your organization.

Our Approach

You’ll find that we tell it like it is, but we start by listening. Understanding where you are and where you want to go is the starting point for true collaboration. The Fresh Take approach is personal and personalized—there is not a cookie-cutter to be found in our tool kit. We talk with you—not at you—to understand what you need (or to help you figure it out if you don’t know.) Our processes are solid but seldom carved in stone because adapting to what we encounter along the way is what helps us deliver results you can actually use. 

Our Advantage

If you were to ask what sets Fresh Take apart from the myriad other consultants working with nonprofits, it is likely our desire to learn as we lead. We know a lot, but we don’t know everything. However, we seldom meet a challenge we can’t surmount and we are always striving to discover—and deliver—the best solutions for our clients. You will find that we aren’t afraid to roll up our sleeves and weed through the layers of the past as we help you build the path to the future. 

If our fresh take sounds like your cup of tea, we’d love to tell you more. Contact us for a free discovery conversation.
