StopGap Solutions.
You know what you need done, but you’re not quite sure of all the details. It StopGapexcels at developing flexible project plans for developing circumstances that may require short-term and full-time help or be a longer term need on a part-time basis. Our team excels in transitional situations that helps to bridge, or stop the gap within an organization including project management, executive transition and development.
01. PROJECT MANAGEMENT.
Contracting with StopGap Solutions will ensure the project is successfully executed without creating a human resources burden or capacity issue for the organization. We can help close out grant funded projects with fewer than 3 months left on the clock or start at the beginning of a multi-year commitment and see the opportunity through to success.
02. INTERIM LEADERSHIP.
Most nonprofit organizations cannot afford a gap in leadership or key functions during a transitional period. StopGap can provide interim leadership allowing an organization to assess the real needs for a position before entering the hiring process, while providing regular reporting about the ongoing state of affairs. This ensures continued operations and provides assistance with the hiring and onboarding process.
03. DEVELOPMENT.
One of the most complex relationships in a nonprofit is between the Director of Development and Executive Director. This relationship is key to the financial success of the organization, but rarely is either party satisfied with how things are working. StopGap Solutions can play an intermediary role providing comprehensive supervision and coaching to development staff.
