Nonprofits are traditionally known to operate in a “Jack of all trades, master of none” environment with limited resources and funding to make big things happen. This is especially prevalent for smaller and newly established non-profit organizations. Ignite Results Founder, Darlene Thomas, with over 30 years of experience working with and for non-profit organizations, has all “been there and done that”!
Ignite Results LLC equips small and start-up nonprofit organizations and their staff by teaching them how to develop targeted effective programs, write measurable objectives, create solid evaluation tactics, clarify fuzzy sustainability plans, and much more- all leading to the ability to write and submit quality and competitive grants in-house, thus minimizes the need to outsource and save precious dollars and obtain successful long-term sustainment!
