Nonprofit and Non-Governmental

Be a Non-Profit and NGOs industry leader by resourcefully connecting your constituents with impactful philanthropic opportunities and managing the organization via your world-class, efficient processes and technology.

Overview

For over 20 years, TSI has partnered with a diverse array of nonprofit organizations, spanning large professional associations, faith-based groups, humanitarian organizations, advocacy groups, and community-driven initiatives. Our extensive experience in the nonprofit sector has allowed us to support organizations of all sizes and missions, helping them streamline financial and administrative processes, enhance information technology systems, conduct strategic planning, and perform in-depth organizational assessments.

At the heart of our approach is a commitment to the “people side” of change management, ensuring that transitions lead to a seamless experience for constituents, stronger engagement, and improved financial sustainability. Whether working with global NGOs or grassroots initiatives, we empower nonprofits to optimize their operations, strengthen their strategic direction, and maximize their impact.

What We Do

TSI begins each engagement by conducting a comprehensive assessment of key functions or the entire organization, depending on the scope and needs defined by executive leadership. We collaborate closely with our clients to identify pain points, evaluate critical elements such as services, processes, technology, and people, and determine what is working well versus what needs improvement.

Through this partnership, we help organizations envision their future state, assess current capabilities, and develop strategic, actionable recommendations tailored to their unique mission and challenges. Our approach leverages these insights to drive operational improvements, enhance efficiency, and, be more aligned with your key stakeholders and constituents.

Above all, our recommendations are practical, measurable, and designed for long-term sustainability, ensuring your organization will implement meaningful change while staying focused on your mission and impact.

Read the Case Study

TSI worked with us to complete a strategic technology assessment, which included the difficult task of coordinating and articulating our vision and strategy for new technology. The project was a great success: they ensured that everyone participated in the process, that all voices were heard, and that deliverables were on-time and distributed to all participants for thoughtful feedback. On a day-to-day basis, TSI was enthusiastic and dedicated to our work, always demonstrating that our success is their success. They have acted as key advisors to me and as coaches for the entire project team. We so enjoyed working with the TSI team and hope to continue to do so in the future.

Senior Director, Analytics and Business Intelligence • The University of Chicago

Transforming Solutions, Inc. proved to be very adept in creating strategic and practical approaches to our complex improvement project. They gathered data efficiently and effectively, creating buy-in amongst our faculty and staff as they did so. Dan and Alan did this by spending a considerable amount of time on our campuses working directly with groups of our staff and faculty. Ultimately, TSI presented us with a detailed process map of our communications, identified key areas for productive improvement, and worked with us to tailor their final recommendations to our specific needs. The team of TSI does the job and does it well.

CFO

California State University – SLO

TSI joined the UF team at an important inflection point. We were in the very early stages of asking ourselves what ‘next’ looked like for our fundraising program and what technology ecosystem would be required to actualize it. Dan and his team led us through an extensive planning and preparation process that set us up for success in the implementation of our new CRM and the associated platforms. In the planning and preparation phase, we worked with Dan to develop visioning statements, create a roadmap, and secure funding.

Heather Greig

Assistant Vice President • University of Florida Advancement

I really enjoyed working with TSI, particularly, I loved the way you ran the brainstorming sessions early on, which can sometimes be extremely disorganized if not done right. I respect and admire your ability and instinct to facilitate discussions and to tease out useful information. I believe your success is a result of natural ability, and lots of hard work and preparation. I’d love to stay connected and to serve as a resource if I can be of value to the things you do.
