About NextStep Nonprofit
NextStep Nonprofit LLC uses an engineering approach to nonprofit development (fundraising). That means that we look at your organization and your development efforts as a complete system. This allows us to consider where your system can be improved by cutting losses, and where it can be expanded by adding capacity.
