• Need your Google Drive / Microsoft SharePoint organized and your staff using it effectively again?

• Need to recover lapsed donors?

• Need a CRM cleanup, re-tool, or just haven’t had the time to research a more cost-effective option for your organization?

• Need an annual impact report and a dedicated professional to run your annual fundraising event, so as not to pull away your staff from necessary community services?

• Need to make sense of all the AI tools out there and how to use them effectively, sustainably, and ethically for your organization?

Adenium provides an embedded, cost-effective, hybrid team that addresses all these operational needs and more, that augments (not replaces) staff capacity. This service is best suited for nonprofit organizations.

• Need a dedicated person to research and present remediation options and funding available for a large tract of former industrial land for potential redevelopment?

• Need a market analysis or landscape assessment of home energy efficiency needs and resources, rooftop solar capabilities, or a comprehensive list of community choice aggregation (CCA) providers in your region?

• Need help drafting an RFI, RFQ, or RFP for specific environmental technical services and don’t know exactly what to ask for or require from applicants?

• Need a partial refresh / revisit and a hands-on implementation strategy for your Natural Resources Inventory or Climate Action Plan, but don’t want the headache of having to fully go to bid?

• Need a comprehensive city code update with sustainability, climate change, resiliency, and adaptability in mind for your local community?

• Just need a wetland delineation? Or an invasive species inventory? Or a baseline natural conditions assessment of a property to figure out where it is now and what you envision it becoming?

Adenium provides an on-call or retainer-based team to answer all of these questions and more. We can also provide an in-office, part-time, cost-effective staff person with your organization who can still tap into the full expertise of our team on the back-end. These services are best suited for city governments, village townships, regional councils of government (COGs), or technical assistance providers.

• Does your engineering firm need local community engagement support for a master plan, neighborhood development plan, or ecological restoration effort? But, you would prefer to work with someone who is also technically trained, and can translate between technical and non-technical audiences?

• Need equity training for your board and/or staff?

• Need board training & development since your organization has matured, adapted, and grown?

• Need fresh energy and consistent, structured facilitation in a coalition or community of practice that is low on motivation, agreement on strategy and tactics, and/or follow-through and execution?

Through our core team, collaborative of experts, and partner consultants, Adenium will find you the right, place-based, and locally-attuned individual or team, knowing that they will have full back-end access to our entire team and resources to support them in their work.

• You’ve got the grant to restart a needed program, but your staff are ultimately stretched too thin. You just need to get the program going for 3-6 months, before considering if you need someone full time?

• You’ve got your organization’s updated strategic plan in hand, but don’t know what to do next?

• Need someone to handle grant management and reporting?

• Need a data tracking protocol and plan in place to be eligible for continual funding?

Similar to our embedded operations & organizational development service area, we focus on the project or program in hand instead of across the organization as a whole. Usually but not always, this involves one dedicated consultant, so you always know who to call and who to invite to meetings.

• Grant writing

• Strategic planning

• Creating, planning, and executing a dedicated time-bound fundraising strategy

• Donor management & engagement

• Event planning

• Climate change science educational workshops

• Biomimicry design workshops

These services are often one time, project based, or otherwise time bound. All of these services are eligible for inclusion in our longer-term, on-call, or retainer contracts.
