OUR MISSION

is to increase the effectiveness of nonprofit agency’s organization, programs and services by equipping them to become better in delivering services, attracting and developing funding, managing growth and achieving sustainability.

WHO WE SERVE

Over the last 27 years, she has served various markets across the nation that included healthcare, educational, transportation, as well as city and state government.  In recent years our biggest market was faith-based organizations. However, we do not limit the types of nonprofits we serve and have successfully delivered one result—success—serving small or start-up organizations to the larger more established organizations.

HOW WE WORK

We began each project by assessing the efficiency and effectiveness of client’s current operations and systems which can be a daunting task for nonprofit managers who may already be experiencing a new crisis each day.   We then take a team approach, when needed, customizing a unique consulting plan to meet those identified needs.   We can be hired on one-time projects or put on retainer over a set period of time to meet the agency’s overall goal. 

WHAT WE DO

With over 27 years of experience in the nonprofit sector, team members of Vivian Dudley Ministries are uniquely qualified to review the administrative, fund development and program evaluation systems of nonprofits and compare and contrast those with best practices and other nonprofits.  We provide professional recommendations and guidance that help organizations formulate a unique plan to prioritize areas of improvement, thus strengthening the infrastructure to focus on the all-important mission of the organization.

Outsourcing has become a way of life in this tough economic climate. Without sustainable funding, an efficient flow of information, clear insights about outcomes, and a solid infrastructure –time and resources can be wasted and organizational goals cannot be met.  Outsourcing the capacity building needs associated with operational, fundraising and evaluation systems may well make sense to ensure the most impact for each dollar spent by your church, business be it for-profit or nonprofit.

Ministry Development and Training

We make sure that we can serve everyone, no matter where they are in their plight. For those clients who are not ready for an individual partnership, we have a syllabus of various classes that can be taken throughout the year whereby you can choose to attend based on your individual needs.

All nonprofit organizations need a board of directors. But how do you build a board that does more than just satisfies your legal obligations? How do you build a board that supports, guides, and multiplies your work? This training offers an introduction to establishing a productive and useful board. It will support you in identifying your own governance needs and help you plan to recruit and onboard board members.

Grant writing Services

Writing a grant proposal is no small task. Whether you’re new to the grant writing process, aren’t winning as many grants as you’d like, or have too many grants to write in too little time, Vivian Dudley Ministries can help.

Our professional grant writing team will work closely with your organization and its stakeholders to fully understand your program objectives and needs. We take care of all the details of a grant proposal
