Build the Internal Strength Your Mission Deserves
Strong nonprofits don't just have compelling missions—they have aligned teams, engaged boards, and strategic plans that actually guide decisions. That alignment doesn't happen by accident.
Liggins Abrams Consulting works with nonprofit leaders and boards across Southwest Michigan to strengthen the internal capacity that makes external impact possible. We facilitate the strategic conversations, board development, and implementation support that move organizations from stuck to strategic, from meetings to momentum.
Common Challenges We Help Address
No plan in place for responding to funding cuts, policy shifts, or disruptions.
Strategic planning that doesn’t connect to daily execution or staff capacity
Leadership transitions and staff turnover creating organizational instability
Misalignment between board and executive leadership
Little to no use of data, either it’s not collected, not trusted, or no one knows what to do with it
Limited systems and under-leveraged technology for internal operations
Gaps in supervision, team management, and internal communication
Conflict avoidance or unresolved tension impacting culture and productivity

Strategic Plan Implementation Coaching
You have a strategic plan. Your board approved it. But competing priorities and daily crises keep pushing it aside. This coaching gives Executive Directors the structured support, accountability, and decision-making frameworks needed to navigate roadblocks and rebuild momentum. Move from managing what's urgent to leading what matters most. Available in 3-, 6-, or 12-month packages. More details and pricing information available.
Team Training Workshops
We lead practical, nonprofit-specific workshops that help teams build shared understanding and stronger habits in three key areas:
Culture: Get everyone (staff and board of directors) on the same page. We help teams connect their work to the mission, live out the organization’s values, and center the voices of the people they serve.
Data: Learn what data to collect, why it matters, and how to use it. We make data less overwhelming and more useful for everyday decisions and program improvements.
Operations: Strengthen how your team works together. Topics include communication, supervision, delegation, and building clear, supportive systems for getting work done.
Team workshop pricing begins at $1,700 per 2-hour workshop.
Board Governance Training & Facilitation
Effective governance requires both knowledge and practice. Our customized 2-hour training sessions move beyond generic board development to address your specific challenges—whether that's clarifying roles, strengthening financial oversight, managing conflicts of interest, or building authentic diversity. Sessions are interactive, values-centered, and designed to honor your board's experience while building new capacity. Boards leave with frameworks they can use right away. Available as single sessions or discounted series packages. Workshop pricing begins at $1,700 per 2-hour workshop.
Your Mission is Too Important to Wing It
Strategic planning. Board development. Implementation coaching. These aren't luxuries—they're the infrastructure that makes sustainable impact possible.
If you're a Southwest Michigan nonprofit leader ready to invest in your organization's long-term effectiveness, we're ready to walk alongside you with practical tools, proven frameworks, and partnership that honors both your mission and your reality.
