Helping Nonprofits Do Good In the Communities They Serve

Strategic Planning

You know what your nonprofit is about, but do you know where it’s going? Failing to plan is planning to fail. Let us help you envision the possibilities the future could hold and how to get there.

Meet the Team

  • A native New Englander, Knute grew up in Massachusetts and has lived in Connecticut and New Hampshire. He lives in the White Mountains with his husband and two dogs – Oskar the Great Dane and Arnold the Aussie.

    He learned about funds and fundraising at a Connecticut congregation, smoothed his skills in endowment strategizing, major gifts, and estate planning at a national foundation, and mastered the art of annual giving at a regional nonprofit. Throughout his career, he has grounded every aspect of his work in the assessment of the relationships with people. There is no bigger or more vital factor in healthy fundraising and wise stewardship than the relationships with the people served. He has had key successes as a board chair for both local and regional nonprofits and – as with many volunteers – frustrating single terms as a board member of a whole variety of smaller organizations. Knute has finely-hewned his professional toolbox and gladly assists with capacity building, long-range imagining, and caring for the people who have been set aside to lead.

    There are numerous good and wise ways to do the nonprofit work our local communities need. When we commit ourselves to learning and relearning best practices basics in the areas of fundraising, strategizing, and stewarding, we can champion the art of leading well.
