PRODUCING MEANINGFUL RESULTS
CNM’s heartbeat since the beginning has been to equip nonprofits with the knowledge and skills needed to be the best they can be. We work with over 700 nonprofits annually to help them increase their fundraising results, improve program outcomes, strengthen board and staff performance, and more.
How do we do that?
- Hire staff with advanced degrees in data and evaluation and significant leadership experience in nonprofit strategy and operations
- Tailor our Consulting Services to meet the needs of nonprofits across any mission space, size, or stage of evolution
- Offer Strategic Consulting including board audits, board self-assessments, organization and operations assessments, program sustainability, and strategic planning to build organizational capacity
- Provide Outcomes and Evaluation Consulting and Certifications that ensure program data is being collected and analyzed based on a valid methodology, and tracked and reported using leading edge software for data visualization to increase program impact
- Offer Education Services to develop capabilities at an individual level across all aspects of nonprofit operations through specialty seminars, certificate programs, and custom training
- Secure significant funding from foundations, corporations, and government to keep our costs affordable to nonprofits
As community needs continue to grow, we have come to believe that we need to focus on results and to partner with all stakeholders, not just nonprofits, if issues are to be addressed in a meaningful way.

A Farewell Message from Tina Weinfurther
Apr. 30, 2024
“Nonprofits want to, and are capable of, achieving greater community impact. But that requires funders to be more investment-oriented by directing their contributions to expertise and tools that will help nonprofits collect the right data and operate efficiently and effectively to achieve meaningful results.”
