About us
Our Core Values
Nolo Consulting’s values define the culture we encourage, the standards we expect, and the principles that strengthen our team efforts. The five guiding principles of our team are:
1
We listen because we value every person and we are open to the possibility of change;
2
We share knowledge, information and experience with those who benefit;
3
We support a responsibility culture, not a blame culture;
4
We are motivated to enhance our capacity to satisfy the clients’ purpose and goals;
5
We focus on the job, not ego.
Why us?
We have successfully supported organizations whose internal structures and systems resist implementation of programs that fall outside of their standard modus operandi.
We embrace and have put into action an “outside of the box” thinking that allows programs to develop and/or tailor their mission, vision and services to a changing demographic and community.
We leverage additional resources and opportunities that the organization has not identified and applied, allowing increased capacity for achieving success.
We are experienced in linking advocacy and service, allowing nonprofit organizations to gain credibility, stay relevant and acquire funding for expansion.
