- [The Nonprofit Founder's Dilemma: Tempering Issues of Control and Ownership](https://creativeedgeconsulting.org/the-non-profit-founders-dilemma-tempering-issues-of-control-and-ownership/) - Having had the experience of founding an organization many moons ago, I deeply relate to the personal struggles of someone creating their “baby.” In particular, we work tireless hours to develop a new human services program, and somehow or another we hope for assurance that it will remain “ours.”
- [Stepping Stones: How To Start A New Nonprofit](https://creativeedgeconsulting.org/stepping-stones-how-to-start-a-new-non-profit/) - For the purposes of this article — I will assume you are a new Founder, have limited experience in the non-profit sector (at least in terms of how to start a new organization or lead/grow one), and seek information about where you should begin with this new endeavor. (Otherwise, you probably wouldn’t have clicked on this article.) And so, that is where we will focus for today; our first set of stepping stones when establishing a new 501(c)(3).
- [Grant Competition: Too Soon or Too Late?](https://creativeedgeconsulting.org/grant-competition-too-soon-or-too-late/) - I would never go as far as to suggest that you not pursue grant funding as a brand new organization or that an agency in fiscal trouble is necessarily doomed in grants competition. But there is a window involved where you are apt to have more promising outcomes.
- [Health Insurance Denials? ProPublica Reports on Efforts to Deny Coverage to Chronically Ill Patient](https://creativeedgeconsulting.org/health-insurance-denials-propublica-reports-on-efforts-to-deny-coverage-to-chronically-ill-patient/) - More than 200 million Americans are covered by private health insurance. But data from state and federal regulators shows that insurers reject about 1 in 7 claims for treatment. Many people, faced with fighting insurance companies, simply give up: One study found that Americans file formal appeals on only 0.1% of claims denied by insurers under the Affordable Care Act.

We can help develop (or improve) select components of an organization or new program, or aid in full design. We also help nonprofits create programming that is responsive to a governmental Request for Proposals (RFP) or
- [Organizational Assessment](https://creativeedgeconsulting.org/organizational-assessment/) - Assessment varies, depending on the purpose of evaluation. For grants, there is no need to review By-Laws, Policies and Procedures, or financials prior to those requested by grantmakers (i.e., last two years, typically). We just scrutinize documents and aspects of operations that affect funding outcomes. While we cannot fix some problems of the past (such as not
- [Marketing/Communications](https://creativeedgeconsulting.org/marketing-communications/) - While many people think of marketing as a term used only by the private sector, nonprofits also market their “products” and services. The best-known and strongest nonprofits most certainly do have a “brand,” and how they communicate with patrons and the general public is part of a well-constructed strategic plan. This plan spans a minimum of
- [Interim/Transitional Leadership](https://creativeedgeconsulting.org/interim-transitional-leadership/) - Sometimes it makes sense to bring on a consultant in a more internal organizational capacity. Even if temporary, you often need specialized nonprofit administrative skills that you and your team do not readily possess. This is most common during start-up, expansions, or when in the midst of a major expected or unexpected transition. And, this

Generally speaking, editing is not intended to be anything more than improving flow, clarity, and sentence structure. Of course, it also includes correction of typographical and grammatical errors, along with strengthening the document as a
- [Fiscal Development Plans](https://creativeedgeconsulting.org/fiscal-development-plans/) - Many CEC customers start with only grant writing services. But, rarely is one grant sufficient to meet the fiscal needs of a whole organization or a select project/program—unless we are talking about a sizeable governmental award. Therefore, an ongoing grants PROGRAM is almost always necessary. We construct formal Grant Plans that usually span a period of 6-12 months. The written plan
