Sometimes you don't need a coach, a partner, or a new skill set. You need one good thing, done well, and handed to you ready to use, so you can get back to the fifteen other things on your plate. Light Touch Consulting is deliberately unbundled. This is for program coordinators and managers at nonprofits and foundations who need expert support on something specific, without bloating their admin budget. Think of us as your data partner in a relay race — ready to pick up, run hard, and hand the baton back so your team keeps moving. Come with: a tool you need built; a one-off deliverable for a funder or board that needs to be right the first time; or a recurring task you'd rather hand off. We'll set guiding goals, integrate your feedback, and send you off with support to implement right away.

A tool you need today and a skill you want for next time don't have to be two separate asks. By the time we wrap up, you don't just have the tool you need — you understand why it was built the way it was, how to adapt it as things change, and how to build the next one without another consultant. This is for program coordinators or managers at non-profits and foundations who are increasingly responsible for tracking and reporting (whether or not that was the job they signed up for). You're capable. You just want something immediately useful and someone to show you how to do it yourself. Come with: a survey or interview guide you need built from the ground up; a logic model or theory of change you want to develop properly; a data analysis protocol you want to understand, not just receive; or another data tool that could benefit from a refresh. A scoping session and wrap-up session to support implementation are included.
