How we work

We balance art and science to produce the highest level of client impact.

NPL has a multi-disciplinary team of very senior professionals from the nonprofit, business and government sectors — some of whom have been working together since 1995. Principals manage every client, assembling the exact right supporting team from our cadre and customizing NPL’s time-tested proprietary tools and best practices to each engagement.

We’ve served hundreds of nonprofit clients in the United States, Latin America, Europe, Africa and beyond — and touch many more organizations through The NPL Learning Center©.

Process

Our process: zoom out, then zoom in

The NPL team zooms out to observe the broader landscape — hypothesizing and rethinking solutions to big problems. Once new solutions are identified, we zoom in to create detailed strategies and plans with measurable performance goals. Clients engage us for all or some of the steps below, depending on their circumstances.

Path one

Non-Profit Organizations

Acquire and sustain increased dollars from individual donors, foundations and target corporations — more quickly, at less cost per dollar raised.

Path two

Philanthropic & Social Investors

Identify the best possible nonprofit partners to maximize investments and achieve social-impact goals — vetted with our GSII© tool.

Storytelling

A six-person storytelling team

NPL maintains a six-person digital content and filmmaking team that builds each client’s story to attract donors and philanthropists — a library of material from 60-second sound bites to short documentary films, always beginning with the target audience and a distribution method to reach them.
