Matthew is seeking opportunities to assist charitable non-profit organizations that: Matthew does not limit his assistance to charitable organizations associated with any particular religion or denomination. Without exception, he will not provide assistance to any organization advocating hatred, discrimination or violence of any kind. Matthew generally tailors services to be provided based on a brief assessment of the needs of the individual charitable organization. However, he is most frequently asked to help: - improve the efficiency of board structures and governance processes;
- facilitate better communications among directors at and between board meetings;
- improve the day-to-day operating efficiency of the organization;
- identify means to reduce operating expenses;
- identify opportunities to leverage low-cost or free information technology.
Please note Matthew does not engage directly in fundraising activities, preferring instead to focus his efforts on reducing expenses or stretching the value of every dollar spent by charitable non-profit organizations. However, the work Matthew does often improves the effectiveness of the fundraising process.
