Featured case study

National Alliance on Mental
Illness - Colorado

Service: Facilitation

NAMI provides advocacy, education, support and public awareness so that all individuals and families affected by mental illness can build better lives.

Challenge

Awarded a catalytic capacity-building grant, NAMI Colorado was challenged to navigate a leadership transition AND build its strength to both deliver and expand its programs. The project goal was to create a more secure and capable organization able to advance its mission.

Solution

Consulting with Kimberley, the board and interim Executive Director redesigned their governance model, crafted a viable position description to attract a new ED through a thoughtful search process, and build a robust development plan to attract philanthropic and public investment to bolster programs and service.

“No matter where an organization is in its evolution, growth or sustainability, the right consultancy can elevate it to the next level. Kimberley did this for NAMI Colorado. We are truly strengthened by the 'strategic roadmap' concept that allows us to leverage the national NAMI strategic plan balanced by our local affiliate needs and strengths. We are so grateful for Kimberley's knowledge, talents and guidance.”
