Strategic Guidance
An organization’s mission is the driving force behind every decision it takes. Through robust stakeholder engagement processes and data driven feasibility studies, Blankenship Consulting works with you to set goals, allocate resources, and advise on programmatic priorities, ensuring your organization can achieve its goals even when the future seems uncertain. We also conduct thorough assessments of your existing operational systems — or identify where critical systems are absent — and recommend practical strategies to strengthen efficiency, reduce risk, and support your team.
Board & Committee Support
Boards and committees define the strategic direction of an organization. Blankenship Consulting provides the support your board needs to be successful in this important task. From agenda development, to overseeing the nomination and election process, to reviewing and creating governance documents in alignment with best practices, we ensure your organization meets its short and long-term goals and objectives.
Finance
Blankenship Consulting advises organization leaders on sound financial management practices, including budgeting, financial reporting, and oversight of audit and tax filing processes. We help you ask the right questions, identify gaps, and put the right controls in place — so your organization’s financial foundation is as strong as its mission.
Retreat Facilitation
Meaningful retreats don’t happen by accident — they happen by design. Blankenship Consulting facilitates board retreats, staff retreats, and strategic planning sessions that move organizations from conversation to clarity. Drawing on deep nonprofit expertise, we create purposeful agendas, guide candid dialogue, and help your team leave with renewed focus, shared priorities, and a clear path forward. Whether you’re navigating a leadership transition, launching a new strategic plan, or simply need space to think together, we’ll make sure the day delivers..
Meetings & Events
Blankenship Consulting provides full-service in-person and virtual meeting planning and facilitation services, including board retreats, staff retreats, strategic planning sessions, and large multi-day events. From agenda design and venue selection to facilitating candid dialogue and post-event reporting, we are committed to delivering purposeful, seamless experiences that move your organization forward — within scope and budget.
Executive & Staff Recruiting
Finding the right people is one of the most important — and most challenging — things a nonprofit organization does. Blankenship Consulting partners with boards, search committees, and executive leaders to recruit exceptional talent at every level of the organization, from executive directors and CEOs to program managers, development staff, and key operational roles. We understand that in the nonprofit sector, the right hire isn’t just about qualifications — it’s about mission alignment, cultural fit, and the ability to lead and inspire others toward a shared purpose. From crafting the job description to facilitating salary negotiations and onboarding support, we guide you through every step of the process so you can focus on what matters most: your mission.
Blankenship Consulting brings 15 years of nonprofit expertise to every engagement — and a genuine commitment to helping mission-driven organizations thrive.
