Vision
Solving problems. Building growth.
We help nonprofits maximize their communication, fundraising and strategy in order to increase visibility, capture donors and focus on what matters: the mission.
About
TriStar Group is owned and operated by Tara Engel, a non-profit professional with over 30 years of experience in communications, fundraising, and creating visibility while discerning what builds non-profits up...and what tears them down.
Fundraising
If you don't have the funds to operate, there is no point in having a great mission and solid messaging. Creating and sustaining funding sources that support your operation and expansion MUST be the first priority of every board member and every paid or volunteer employee. It is an immutable, if somewhat harsh, truth on the road to achieving meaningful resuts.
Messaging
Your mission may be amazing but if people don't immediately relate to it -- or if you are expressing it in AI-generated word salads the true urgency and humanity of your cause may be lost. Be clear, be urgent, be targeted.
Don't misunderstand, however: AI can help your messaging. It just shouldn't dictate it! Speaking from the heart resonates.
Awareness
Once again, if your message is powerful and your mission is meaningful, it means little if you aren't reaching your desired audience!
We can help you connect, communicate and compel action from others.
Strategy
Sometimes a nonprofit has a great mission, a great message and solid awareness but is still falling short of its potential. This is where an overall strategy analysis can identify weaknesses and deficiencies. THEN, we can make recommendations, help implement change, and put you on the road to success.
We're Different.
The Executive Director of a national aviation nonprofit once observed wryly that consultant is made up of two words: "con" and "insult."
He had seen too many consultants who showed up briefly, laid out a list of "to dos" for his staff, charged a bundle...and disappeared.
We don't do that.
We advise, guide, assist and support.
Yes, we charge for our services and hard-won knowledge, but we will work within your budget constraints. We are betting on YOU to grow, to serve and to change lives. We want to help make that happen.
