Non-profit Development

Tre supports a number of non-profits and charitable organizations. Many of who take advantage of our business development services, but we know that a non-profit is a special type of organization so we offer specialized services to these organizations.

With years of experience working with the non-profit sector - we know that the non-profit and its needs are very different to that of the for-profit business. Our pricing for non-profits is also reduced, making sure that all organizations who are interested in making positive change happen have a fair chance to benefit from our professional services.

Applying for your tax exempt status can seem like a daunting task but it's one that can open many doors for your non-profit organization. Tre can assist you with completing your application and gathering the necessary supporting documents, as well as with responses to the IRS in the event that you have already begun the 1023 process.

Instead of trying to take on every step of starting a non-profit, Tre helped me to divide and conquer. While I was working with the public on a day-to-day basis, Mindy and Bruce were behind the scenes filling out all of the applications and doing all of the hard work. They completely took the stress out of 501(c)3 application process, allowing me to focus on the things that I do best.

Using the mission of your organization, Tre can conduct funding research to locate local, state, corporate, foundation, and federal funding opportunities. We can create funding calendars depending on your preference, whether applications, type and amount of support to request, as well as providing guidelines and descriptions of each funder.

We're able to now offer packages of information on funders. All you need to do is contact us with the areas of your organization you'd like funded, and what you aim to achieve with the funds and we'll provide a list of 5, 10, 25, or more leads that you can action in your own way.

Setting up a good financial system isn't easy, add to that the unique set-up of non-profit organizations and you've got a potential disaster waiting to happen. Our experience dealing with non-profits and their cash-flow can help you make the best floorplan for your money management.

We're lucky that we have a great writer on our team, coupled with a great grant success rate Tre can help you prepare and submit letters of inquiry and grant applications. So if you want to work with us beyond funding research, or you've found some leads of your own we write and prepare grant applications! Grant preparation and submission can include: cover letters, application forms, proposal narratives, budgets, and other required attachments.

2009 started out well in terms of Grants, Tre landed a 500% return in grant awards for our latest non-profit client: Granny's House!

At the top of non-profit organizational charts are a group of individuals, the Board of Directors. A group charged with many responsibilities, including leadership and visioning for their organization. As part of our training schedule Tre offers a twelve part modular training for boards aimed at, among other things - encouraging organizational awareness, adding value, defining roles and equipping Directors with the know-how to function as a great member of the team.
