Strategy that fits the realities of community-led organisations - funding, volunteers and impact.

Overview

Why TEP works in community services.

Strategy that fits the realities of mission and money.

Community-services organisations operate at the intersection of mission and money - often with thin margins, volunteer boards, and complex funding mixes. The Executive Presence brings senior executive thinking into organisations that rarely have it on retainer. Strategic planning workshops, grant writing, governance support, independent recruitment, and the kind of board-paper craft that keeps small organisations sustainable and growing.

The frameworks we work within
