Become Great at Doing Good.

Non-profits exist to make the world better. Flannel Solutions exists to make non-profits better. We understand the challenges facing the non-profit sector because we have been in it with you for over 30 years. We understand how to remove the hurdles that are tripping up your leadership and organization:

  • The feeling of being overwhelmed with the chaos of running a non-profit.

  • The disappointment with your board structure draining energy instead of creating synergy.

  • The anxiety around attracting, keeping, and inspiring a high-performing team.

  • The exhaustion of funding models that won’t scale, leaving you feeling like a hamster on a wheel.

  • The worry of programs lacking deep impact because they are treating symptoms instead of tackling root issues.

  • The apprehension over strategies that fail to inspire or convert to action and results.

We see you.

Flannel Solutions can help you retool your organization by creating sustainable funding growth, attract and retain top talent by developing a healthy culture, smooth out operational and financial systems that increase donor confidence, and rethink programs to create and measure meaningful impact. We’re ready to put our work shirt on for you.

How We Work

We limit our client count intentionally to ensure we have the bandwidth to get to know each one and provide incredible results. We are much more invested in you than simply being your consultant.

Relational

Our clients are big thinkers. So are we. Our team brings fresh thinking, models and strategies based on research and experience to help you generate the solutions of the future.

Innovative

Our daily uniform is a flannel shirt which represents our work ethic and willingness to do the hard things that produce results. We’ll always put our flannel work shirt on for you. Unless you request us to wear something nicer (because we are also flexible).

Relentless
