Most nonprofit leaders often feel like their day is “shot through a fire hose”! Lots of projects and people to manage, and not enough hours in the day. We understand! Did you realize you DON’T have to “do it all”? 

OneSource Center’s consulting group has team members who can easily tackle those projects that never make it to the “top of the pile.” Need your job descriptions updated? Haven’t revised your personnel manual in a decade? Would it help to have a professional plan and run your board retreat? Need help researching grants that fit your work or clientele? These are just a sampling of the tasks OneSource Center team members can take off your plate.

Alida Hart, President and CEO of Inter Parish Ministry (IPM) Food Pantry, has utilized OneSource Center for several projects and says this has helped her organization further expand its mission of feeding hungry people. “No one can do it all!” says Hart. “OneSource Center’s ability to assist with the development and implementation of a team building retreat was incredibly helpful to me, plus it provided my team with a meaningful experience.”

“OneSource Center also was a great resource for the recruiting and onboarding of several new teammates. Their consultants are top-notch and helped us put in place new processes that IPM will continue to use in the years ahead,” she continued. “Their collaboration with us on these and other projects has left a lasting positive impact on our agency and the people we serve.”

Want to explore the range of projects OneSource Center could help you tackle? Contact Vickie Ciotti, Vice President of Consulting Services to discuss your needs.

We have connections! When corporations and regional businesses have gently used office and residential furniture to share and want it to go to a good home – they contact OneSource Center to get these items into the hands of nonprofits and the clients they serve! If your organization has an upcoming move, office renovation or operations expansion on the horizon – let us know! And if possible, let us know ahead of time. Our warehouse redistribution center receives many donation leads, and if we proactively know of your needs – we might be able to seek out or coordinate donations that exactly fill your needs for pennies on the dollar!

One example of a recent coordinated effort was with IKRON, a OneSource Center Shoppers Club client that is a regional provider of integrated quality behavioral health services, employment services, support services, youth services and peer services. The award-winning organization recently purchased a new building with significant residential and office needs, and was looking for a way to stretch their operations budget! Anticipating the need for assistance, the organization proactively contacted OneSource Center with a list of needed furnishings, and OneSource Center was able to help – obtaining over 100 pieces of furniture from their list — saving them thousands of dollars.

These types of “need” calls happen often at OneSource Center, with clients notifying us of advance requests like:

• large quantities of matching conference room chairs
• lockers or closed and lockable storage cabinets
• mattresses
• specific desks needs (i.e. matching or larger quantities of reception or executive style)
  or white boards/conference room needs.

Know of a specific future furniture need? Contact Beth Yantek! We want to help!

Coaching has taken on a new status in leadership circles. In the past, a stigma that leaders might fear when engaging a coach was that it would make them appear weak or in need of remedial help. However in the past decade, there has been a transformation in attitude. Now coaching is seen as an investment in someone, bringing a competitive edge to that staff member.

When faced with a busy schedule and job pressures, managers can sometimes become reactive. A coach from outside the organization can help a leader to pause and view problems with a new perspective. Coaches can also assist in career growth. OneSource volunteer consultant Tim Riordan currently coaches two nonprofit executives, both of whom aspire to become CEOs. He shared, “I think it is good to have a person to bounce ideas off of. It is a way to use my experience as a CEO to help another person prepare for that position. They have found it very beneficial to relate to someone who has already been in that position and faced those types of responsibilities.”

Interested in exploring the idea of utilizing a coach to help you think through major decisions, discover new strategies and ways of working, set goals or chart the next step in your development? This is just one of the services offered through OneSource Center Consulting! Contact Vickie Ciotti, VP of Consulting Services to learn more.
