If you talk to enough nonprofit leaders, you will hear the stories.
Sometimes these issues occur because the nonprofit leader has limited experience selecting these providers. Sometimes these issues occur because the service provider preys on inexperienced nonprofits.
The outcome is the same. Wasted time and money. Time and money that would otherwise go to “The Cause.” Time and money that will never come back
Our goal at Awakened Innovations is to make sure that every service provider you work with is a quality, reliable partner. We want to reduce the number of problems you encounter so you can focus on your mission.
So, what is a service provider?
A service provider is anyone, beyond employees or volunteers, who does work for you. Some common examples, that we can provide, are:

• Fundraising
• Donor engagement
• CPAs

Operations

• Social media
• CRM
• Computers and IT

Human Resources
• Employment
• Benefits
• Hiring
• Volunteer management
Events
• Event planners
• Venues
• Printers
• Videographers
• Photographers
• Caterers
• Promotional and Branded Products
We consult with Nonprofits to ensure we understand their needs and match them with the right provider. And much, much more! How can we provide all these services? We are connectors. We match you with superior, vetted, service providers to do the work.
We're often asked, “Why don’t I just find my own service providers?” That’s a valid question. The answer is that people at nonprofits often lack time or expertise to evaluate and screen service providers. We take care of that for you. You know that anyone we connect you with is a quality vendor who is not likely to vanish soon!
