How Can I Help?
Catalyst helps nonprofits maximize internal systems that support fundraising success by aligning board and staff around fundraising goals. Catalyst is a five-month active learning program that runs from July 2016 to December 2016. Participating organizations commit a leadership team of 3 - including the Executive Director, Board President and key staff/board to assess current challenges, identify key limitations, create development plan and produce a compelling case statement for increase success.
What skills are needed?
We seek skilled consultants willing to volunteer their planning, facilitation and/or fundraising expertise in King County. Each organization will be paired with one Planner and one Fund Development volunteer consultant who will guide the organization through the Catalyst program with the support of 501 Commons staff. This is a great professional development opportunity that helps strengthen the entire nonprofit sector.
What is the time commitment?
The time commitment is 10-12 hours per month (or 2-3 hours per week) with an average of two in-person meetings per month with your organization. Additionally, we provide two consultant round tables during the program to support consultants, provide assessment, and facilitate peer to peer learning and networking opportunities.

Description
501 Commons was founded in 1989 as Executive Service Corps of Washington. In 2010, we changed our name to 501 Commons, reflecting a changing role and broader range of services. Most of our clients are in the Pacific Northwest, but many of our services are available to nonprofits in other geographic areas.
Our name is based on the principle of the "the commons." The commons can be characterized as having five distinct attributes:
- Free and uncoerced participation
- A shared purpose
- Jointly held resources
- A sense of mutuality
- Relationships that are characterized by justice and fairness
Our Theory of Practice describes how we approach our work and our Team Charter describes how our team of 45+ work together to serve our clients.
501 Commons is a 501(c)(3) tax-deductible, nonprofit, charitable organization and is a member of the Executive Service Corps - United States. By volunteering your time to 501 Commons, you are impacting the success of over 2,000 organizations each year. Join us!
