The problem

Small, mission-driven nonprofits often lack the budget or internal capacity to afford external consulting — but they still face the confusing priorities, operational friction, and technology questions. That means they're either stuck or forced to underinvest in improvements that could unlock growth.

The solution

The Dept.1 "On the House" program provides free, accelerated assessments for qualifying organizations. A focused, no-cost review of strategy, systems, fundraising, and programs. In just a few weeks, we’ll audit key constraints across the organization and deliver a professional, board-ready findings report with prioritized recommendations.

The outcome

Nonprofits walk away with an external lens on their greatest bottlenecks and a roadmap they can use -- whether to galvanize board buy-in, apply for grants, or inform internal improvements. All without straining your budget.
