Strategic planning, outcomes measurement, and board-ready data dashboards for mid-sized nonprofits, led by a consultant who spent 25 years inside one.
One data pipeline across every platform you already use, organized around the logic model your funders think in.
A guided strategic discovery session with your leadership team, followed by deep analysis of the data you already have: donor CRM, program systems, accounting, spreadsheets. You receive a board-and-funder-ready Impact Report covering your strategic direction, your outcomes framework, and what your data proves today. Yours to keep, whatever you do next.
Your Impact Report, kept alive: recurring board and funder reporting packages refreshed from your live data, quarterly strategy sessions, and an outcomes advisor on call as your programs evolve. We maintain the data pipeline behind the scenes. You present the proof.
Specialized experience where data is hardest, and mission-driven organizations of every stripe in between.
Twenty-five years inside a child welfare nonprofit: seven as CFO/COO, years as HIPAA Privacy Officer, and COA accreditation leadership across PQI/CQI, finance, IT, and risk. Your outcomes pipeline is built privacy-first and accreditation-ready. And if your annual HIPAA security risk assessment keeps slipping, we chair it for you.
Easement portfolios, stewardship obligations, accreditation renewals: conservation outcomes deserve better than a fragile spreadsheet. We turn acres, easements, and stewardship activity into reporting your members, funders, and accreditors can see and trust.
As founder of giv2giv.org (donor-advised-fund technology now carried on at philanthropi.com), we speak grantmaker: portfolio-level outcomes, grantee reporting burdens, and how good data design lightens both sides of the funding relationship.
Most consultants have seen nonprofit finance from across the table. I ran it: 25 years with a child welfare organization, seven of them as CFO/COO, presenting to the board, surviving the audits, and building the KPI dashboards our decisions actually ran on.
Since then I've been a C-level operator in manufacturing and clean energy, modernizing systems and managing to the numbers. Touchstone Outcomes brings both together: the strategic judgment of someone who sat in your chair, and the modern data capability to prove what your mission changes.
Three organizations receive the complete Impact Baseline on preferred founding-partner terms, locked through their first Partnership year. In return, we publish a case study of your results: we write it, you simply approve it. Nothing else is asked of you.
Thirty minutes. Bring your messiest reporting problem; leave knowing whether the Baseline fits, and what it would show you.
