We can help you do it better.
Emerging social enterprises, nonprofit organizations, and community groups often face difficult choices when allocating scarce resources between mission-critical activities and operational excellence. As the professional, part-time operations and program manager for mission-driven organizations, Hellebore Consulting, LLC frees staff and boards to focus on impact by handling long-term infrastructure-building and day-to-day operations management. We have experience with corporate formation and reorganization, developing (and revamping) mission statements and theories of change, as well as building financial and operating controls, policies and procedures. Through analysis and coaching, Hellebore can help ensure that your governance structure, operations, and human resources practices are aligned with your social or sustainability mission. We can guide you through the sometimes murky world of "green" marketing as well as help you decide if a certification (such as B Corp) is a good fit for your organization (and navigate the certification process!). We can also lead the ongoing process of developing sensible, meaningful impact metrics and translating them into compelling narratives for your constituents.
