Project ideas for m+r interim solutions contractors:
CLIENT CASE STUDY: BRIDGING THE GAP
Bridging the Gap between Executive Directors
A human services nonprofit that provides hunger relief was in need of an interim Executive Director while in the process of searching for its new leader. Our m+r interim solutions affiliate contractor stepped in and provided structure to daily operations, nurtured the team, deeply engaged board members and built new efficiencies. Early in the pandemic, she was on the front lines coordinating food for families and children in-need across seven counties. Her engagement allowed the board to focus on their search to find a new executive director, knowing their staff was being well cared for, and operations were being carried out at the highest level.
CLIENT CASE STUDY: TEMPORARY BOOST
Adding a Temporary Boost to Current Operations
Sometimes, an organization needs assistance with more than one task. m+r interim solutions paired two affiliate contractors to implement a nonprofit’s year-end development plan, distribute all mailings and the annual report, ensure gifts were recorded and acknowledged properly, coordinate fundraising volunteers, and assist with an annual event. The work strengthened the client’s communications and fundraising program, and the client was able to make the right decisions about staff needs for the future.
