Unexpected Company provides a variety of professional consulting and services to Iowa non-profits. We specialize in working with arts organizations and organizations that provide education programs and services for children, but we can work with any non-profit.
If you are an arts organization (or any non-profit), you need charitable funding. Who better to help you tap into corporate, foundation and government funding than someone who understands how you do business?
Unexpected Company’s Lisa’s Norris-Lynner has been writing successful grant proposals and helping Central Iowa non-profit organizations with fund development for more than eighteen years. Her specialty is obtaining funding for arts and culture and education programs. For more information on Unexpected Company’s grantwriting services, click here.
Sometimes a non-profit organization needs help getting organized in order to go after charitable funding. Does this sound like your organization?
You have a great program but can’t seem to find funding to sustain it.
You have a great idea for a program, but are not sure how to develop it.
You have a long-running program that needs to be “refreshed”, but you don’t quite know how to move forward.
Your Board of Directors lacks focus or cohesion.
Unexpected Company’s consulting services can help you take your organization to the next level. For information on these services, click here.
