SERVICES

We partner with a wide range of nonprofits, from small grassroots organizations to established national foundations. Whether you're focused on arts, education, healthcare, or social services, we tailor our strategies to fit your unique mission and goals.

What types of nonprofits do you work with?

Our budget is tight — how can we afford your services?

We understand that financial resources are often limited in the nonprofit sector. Our goal is to create sustainable solutions that deliver long-term value. By improving donor retention, strengthening board leadership, and streamlining operations, our services often pay for themselves through increased fundraising success and improved efficiency.

We already have a development director — why would we need your help?

Our services are designed to complement your internal team, not replace them. We bring an outside perspective, proven strategies, and specialized expertise to strengthen your development efforts and empower your team to reach their goals more effectively.

How can you help us improve donor retention?

We take a data-driven approach to donor engagement, identifying the most effective ways to build meaningful connections with your supporters. From improved communication strategies to personalized outreach, we help you foster lasting relationships that lead to increased donor loyalty.

Our board isn’t as engaged as we’d like. Can you help?

Absolutely. We specialize in board development, offering training, strategic planning sessions, and customized engagement strategies that empower your board members to become stronger advocates for your organization.

How long does it take to see results?

The timeline varies depending on your goals and challenges. Some improvements, like strengthening internal processes, can happen quickly, while others, such as donor retention strategies, may take longer to yield measurable results. We focus on delivering sustainable growth that positions your organization for long-term success.

Do you only work with Ohio-based nonprofits?

No! While we are based in Ohio, we proudly serve nonprofits across the United States. Our consulting services can be delivered virtually, ensuring accessibility no matter your location.

How much is the investment for consulting services? 

Our 6-month custom consulting package is priced at $15,000. This comprehensive program includes:
  • Bi-weekly 90-minute 1:1 consulting sessions conducted via Zoom
  • A three-month progress evaluation to assess outcomes and adjust strategies as needed
  • Access to a client portal for ongoing communication, questions, and support between sessions
This structure ensures consistent guidance, accountability, and tailored strategies to help your organization achieve its goals.

Our organization needs a new website. Can we just hire you for that?

Absolutely! We will do a brand and website audit of what you have currently and work to develop an engaging website that clearly communicates your organization's services, its impact, financial stability, and more to position you to acquire more donors, engage with more community volunteers and leaders, and ensure that those that need your services can find you and understand exactly what they can expect from you. 

What makes Nautilus Strategy & Management different from other consultants?

We combine years of experience in nonprofit leadership, business management, development, and marketing with a customized, hands-on approach. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter solutions — we tailor our strategies to meet your organization's specific needs, values, and goals.

We work with organizations for a minimum of six months. Less than that is not productive for the organization. We meet twice a month for 90 minutes each session.
