Nonprofit Nav Values

Relevancy

It’s difficult to provide guidance to the sector when you’re no longer in it. Our team engages in board service, volunteerism, and contract leadership to keep our relevance.

Simplicity

Trending lingo, the latest theories, and strategic fads are lost on us. We use what works and what can be easily understood by our clients. Everything else is for scholars. We’re practitioners.

Raising the Bar

We don’t just aim to set the bar; we attempt to raise it with every engagement. We are competing with ourselves.

Always Learning

We have something to learn from each person we interact with – especially our clients. The things we have figured out may need to be refigured tomorrow. It’s ok, we’re committed to always learning.

Demonstrated Confidence (Not Declared)

Our introductions will never take the air out of the room. Our confidence is demonstrated by our intellect, belief in our systems, and familiarity with the sector. We don’t feel the need to declare it.

It’s Not About Us

We believe our gifts are being stewarded for a greater purpose. God and our clients get the glory. We get the honor of supporting their work.

 

Nonprofit Nav Diversity Statement

Nonprofit Nav believes all individuals have the power to create positive change in the world, and no one group or individual is more or less powerful or valuable in this regard. We believe that the greatest innovations arise from collaborations where there is diversity, acceptance, and equity. We are an equal-opportunity employer.
