GOODMAN CONSULTING ASSOCIATES, INC. (GCA) was established in 1989 to help nonprofits fulfill their mission effectively. We understand that the impact of many important programs depends on an organization’s ability to function successfully.
We also work closely with foundations to help leverage their investments in the nonprofit sector by improving the value of their grantmaking and the operations of the agencies they support.
GCA helps nonprofit agencies to achieve their objectives by:
- improving operational efficiency
- developing a strategic approach to program development and implementation
- creating the tools to assess their resources and the impact of their efforts
- resolving conflict through mediation, dispute resolution coaching and group facilitation
We also work with foundations to:
- ensure that their missions accurately reflect their interest and concerns
- define their goals to support their missions
- organize their grantmaking processes to maximize their effectiveness
GCA is a client-centered firm which means that we pride ourselves on being accessible, flexible and responsive. Realizing that we are providing a service, we work to simplify our client’s lives by responding to their needs and removing obstacles that keep them from achieving their goals.
GCA assists organizations by individualizing and tailoring each assignment to the particular needs of the client. We enable clients to achieve results by working jointly with their staff during the project through the implementation phase. This approach ensures the sustainability and ownership of the program by the organization. Each project is personally managed by Gail Goodman, the principal of the company, and is supported by a team of associates with a broad collective depth and breadth of experience and knowledge, enabling us to provide a full-service approach to assignments.
