How NESC Helps
Southwest Connecticut Nonprofits

  
 

 

  
 

Teams of NESC Consultants for several decades have been helping nonprofit organizations in the Stamford/Southwestern Connecticut area, in New Haven and even in Westchester County, New York. As a nonprofit organization itself, NESC repeatedly has demonstrated its sensitivity to the budget, staffing and other resource constraints of its clients, many of which are in education, the arts, community services, religion and in government.

Helping Southwest Connecticut Nonprofits

Homeless Shelter Support.
NESC information technology professionals, after an extensive review, recommended consolidating reporting requirements for shelter services for the homeless, thereby reducing the number of systems required to respond to multiple funders and increasing data content for internal management.

Interim Financial Management.
After the abrupt departure of a community service organization’s financial manager just before the annual audit, an NESC consultant stepped in to prepare for the audit and to oversee finances until a new financial director was hired.

Executive Search.
For a small educational foundation focusing on environmental studies for underprivileged city youth, NESC conducted a search for and quickly recruited a new Executive Director.

Inaugural Newsletter for a Public School System.
A local school system, with a budget to launch a constituents newsletter but no newsletter experience, engaged an NESC Team of public relations and project management specialists to design and edit the inaugural newsletter and to create a template for future issues.

Marketing Help for an Arts Festival.
An international arts organization turned to NESC for help in marketing its annual Arts Festival. After analyzing customer data, the NESC Team recommended measures that improved the marketing program.

Help for an Agency Planning to Move.
When a social service agency was perplexed by the many potential problems posed by a possible move to a new building, it called on NESC for assistance. With a veteran architect on its team, NESC analyzed the agency and its clients to determine space requirements, then exhaustively surveyed the new premises being considered, ultimately submitting a detailed assessment and plan which allowed the agency to make a solid, data-driven decision about relocation.

Improved Efficiency for a School District.
Retained by the central office of a school district seeking to cut costs and boost efficiency, the NESC Team interviewed the central office staff and other chief stakeholders, identified wide areas for improvement and then submitted extensive recommendations to the Superintendent, School Board and the town’s Board of Finance.

Comparative Costs Benchmarks for School Districts.
Working with the Superintendents and staff of three school districts, an NESC Team analyzed the costs of operations for each. By comparing the costs, NESC identified parameters and crafted benchmarks, which gave the districts’ executives a valuable tool for understanding and evaluating their costs, enabling them to operate more efficiently.

Cemetery Maintenance Plan.
When a church had troubling questions about the funding requirements for the “perpetual care” of its historical cemetery, NESC consultants came up with the answers, after reviewing the full range of vendor services needed for such care.

Town-wide IT Review.
A Fairfield county township, with one information system for its administrative operation and another for its schools, asked NESC for help in finding ways to make the two systems more compatible. An NESC Team, which included seasoned information technology experts, extensively interviewed everyone using the two systems, identified usage patterns and requirements and then submitted a list of best practices to improve use of the systems and boost compatibility.

Board Planning Assistance.
After the Board of a service organization for senior citizens asked NESC for help in updating its long-range planning, NESC interviewed key Board Members about all aspects of the organization’s operations and then submitted a detailed report. To help the Board evaluate the recommendations and update the long-range plan, NESC ran a two-day planning session with the Board.
