WELCOME! Thank you for visiting the website of Washburn Carmichael. If you are looking for proven, expert assistance for a non-profit organization you care about - you have come to the right site. From fundraising to strategic planning, from board development to executive search, Washburn Carmichael offers the full range of consulting services for nonprofits. We serve organizations with annual budgets of $500,000 to $50 million. Clients include nonprofits in human services, the arts, education, libraries, parks and gardens, environment, health and mental health, legal services and social causes. THE ECONOMY - FIGHTING BACK We have never met a donor pleased to have an excuse to cut back on their giving. Most want to give even more in troubled times, and many do - to the missions they care most about and the organizations with which they have the strongest relationships. If your donor relations program is well developed and your relationships with donors are close, intensify even more. If your stewardship program has a way to go, it is not too late. Pick up the phone. Arrange gatherings. Send news. Offer behind-the-scenes tours and interaction with clients, performers, your amazing staff.

In 30 years of consulting, we have never met a recession — there have been six — that, for all the damage it did, stopped nonprofits from becoming more dedicated, more innovative, more effective, and, yes, better funded. It is really tough work, we know. Outside eyes and fresh thinking are often helpful. Call us for a free exploratory conversation. We may be able to help you craft and implement "smart moves".
