Fuel Your Mission
with Expert, Ongoing Support
Does this sound like you?
🐿️ We have a way of doing things… but nothing is written down in case someone leaves. We’re not sure if it’s working—or if it’s even best practice.
🐿️ Our board wants to step up, but we’re not sure how to engage them effectively without overwhelming them.
🐿️ We’re thinking about a campaign or a fundraising push, but we’re unsure if we’re ready—or how to get everyone on the same page.
🐿️ We could use support creating materials or implementing plans without stretching our team thin.
You and your mission deserve more.
Project-Based Support That Goes the Distance
Some projects need more than a single meeting or one-off solution—they need sustained, strategic support over time. That’s where our Tailored Mentorship comes in.
Our time together is designed to carry you through the full arc of your initiative—whether it’s launching a capital campaign, restructuring your board, building an endowment or navigating leadership transition.
In other words, this isn’t a one and done. The Blue Squirrel is here for the long haul.

FAQs
How long does the mentorship last?
That depends on your goals—but we typically work together over 3-18 months so you have support through every stage of your initiative.
Why does The Blue Squirrel prefer mentorship?
Great question! When you hire someone to “just do it,” they handle the task—but when the project’s over, the knowledge often walks out the door with them.
Mentorship is different: we do it with you, not just for you. We build your team’s confidence, capacity and understanding along the way. You get results and the skills to sustain them. It’s support that sticks—and grows with you.
Can you just be our Interim Executive Director?
Yes—we absolutely can. Sometimes, what a nonprofit needs most is a steady hand at the wheel while you regroup, grow and search for your next leader. We offer Interim ED support to provide strategic leadership, stability and momentum during transitions. Whether you’re navigating change, launching something new or buying time to find the right long-term fit, we’ve got the experience (and the squirrel-powered stamina 🐿️) to step in and lead with care, clarity and purpose.
What if we don’t know exactly what we need yet?
Perfect. That’s exactly what our intro call is for. We’ll help you unpack your ideas, identify the real priorities and start where it makes the most impact. No pressure to commit, just clarity and partnership.
