Solutions & Impacts

Nonprofits are not all the same and do not all have the same needs.  Regardless of your industry, whether a public charity or a private foundation, our mission is to support your mission.

Smaller nonprofits tend to receive retail investments and strategies, however, you require sophisticated tax, liquidity, cash flow and investment strategies typically offered only to large institutions.

Harmony NonProfit builds tailored solutions for your non-profit’s unique needs and preferences. We have significant experience managing portfolios to specific cash flow needs and risk parameters. We have managed portfolios through bull markets, bear markets, financial crises, political crises, and wars.

Providing your nonprofit with tailored solutions frees up your team to focus on your mission. Isn’t that why you work with a nonprofit to begin with?

You’re concerned about having cash for day-to-day operations as well as having enough for long-term sustainability.

We can develop comprehensive cash flow analysis followed by tailored investment solutions and robust risk managements strategies.

Sophisticated risk management strategies are critical for both short-term and long-term sustainability. It isn’t about how much you make in bull markets; it is about how much you keep in bear markets. By combining proactive capital market strategies and cohesive portfolio strategies with risk management strategies, we will help you stay on track.

Your staff spends too much time on focusing the business work, chasing reports, calculating data, trying to complete audit and 990 reports, rather than focusing on your organization’s mission.

Harmony NonProfit provides customized reports supplying the data you need when you need them. We can give you direct access to these reports, or you can simply call or email one of our team members.

Since we can provide reports with the exact data you need in minutes, you spend less time doing work that does not support your mission.

Your organization relies upon manual systems and paper to manage day-to-day operations.

We can streamline your back office functions, building efficiencies, security, and risk controls to manage cash needs, transactions, audits, reporting, and ongoing due diligence. We offer a client portal that allows your organization to send and receive data securely and generate reports whenever they desire.

Reducing workloads and increasing your team’s efficiency leads to a more successful outcome, providing better support for increasing the health of your community—allow you to succeed together rather than struggling individually.

You struggle to maintain and improve your board, manage your fundraising campaigns, and keep up with the latest developments in your industry.

Harmony NonProfit has developed and continues to expand our network of consultants and leaders to support and educate you and your board on numerous topics, from Thought Leadership to Fundraising, from Succession Planning to Strategic Planning.

By providing your executive team and/or your board with educational meetings, your team will be able to incorporate best practices throughout your organization, which leads to more success in fulfilling your mission.

Its All About Trust

Our Philosophy

Investment experience is critical for nonprofits because the assets are the lifeblood of sustainability. Getting those assets is incredibly difficult, and you need a manager that doesn’t put your organization at risk needlessly or recklessly. But investment knowledge alone isn’t enough.

Nonprofits are strained with too much to do with too few resources, so service is crucial. Service is more than just doing what is asked; it entails doing what is needed and anticipating needs and responding before being asked. It is about communication. Our average client has been with us twice the industry average—that is trust.
