HOW WE HELP
How We Work
Flexible support, designed to grow with you.
Nonprofit growth doesn’t follow a straight line — and neither should your support. We work with organizations at different moments and depths, offering multiple ways to engage based on your goals, capacity, and timeline. Whether you need a focused conversation, project-level partnership, or embedded leadership, our approach is hands-on, equity-driven, and built to strengthen your organization for the long term.
ON-DEMAND SUPPORT
Expert perspective, right when you need it
On Demand Sessions are flexible, focused consulting sessions designed to meet you exactly where you are — without long timelines or heavy process. Use the time to untangle a challenge, pressure-test an idea, work through a decision, or explore what’s next for your fundraising, communications, or technology systems.
You’ll book your session online, complete a short pre-work questionnaire to focus the conversation, and leave with a clear, one-page summary of insights and practical next steps. It’s a low-barrier way to access Common Great’s collective expertise — and a powerful way to build clarity and momentum, right when it matters.
CONSULTING + PROJECT SUPPORT
Strategic partnership for defined goals and initiatives.
Consulting & Project Support is designed for organizations ready to tackle meaningful work with focus and intention. We collaborate with your team on defined initiatives — such as fundraising strategy, campaign planning, communications strategy, technology selection, or systems redesign — providing both strategic thinking and practical implementation.
Our role flexes based on what’s needed: sometimes leading, sometimes advising, always working in close partnership. Throughout the work, we prioritize clarity, systems, and sustainability, ensuring that what we build fits your capacity and sets you up for continued success after the project wraps.
FRACTIONAL + INTERIM LEADERSHIP
Embedded leadership to build capacity from the inside.
Fractional & Interim Leadership is for moments that require steady, experienced hands and real leadership presence. We embed within your organization to lead functions such as development, communications, or systems — whether to support growth, navigate transition, or build infrastructure that isn’t yet ready for a full-time hire.
In these roles, we don’t just keep things moving; we strengthen teams, refine systems, and transfer knowledge so your organization is more confident and capable when our work concludes. This model is especially powerful for organizations seeking continuity, mentorship, and long-term capacity without rushing into permanent staffing decisions.
