Program Design & Development
Our consulting services can assist your nonprofit in designing and developing new programs as well as in evaluating whether to move forward with a new initiative. Among the varied programs Jeff Baloutine has designed and directed are:
An initiative to conduct assessments of community development organizations, adapting an affiliation approach to one that responds more directly to the needs of the nonprofits.
A program that recruits groups of volunteers to paint and repair homes of low-income elderly owners in targeted neighborhoods. The program has proved to be sustainable, evolving into one of the nation’s largest initiatives of its kind.
A mortgage lending product that offered purchase loans to qualified low- to moderate-income homebuyers with down-payment assistance, in collaboration with nonprofit homebuyer counseling organizations.
Sustainable Orgs can draw from these experiences to support your efforts. Also, we can call upon an extensive network of other accomplished community development professionals with varying skill sets to complement what we offer. Where appropriate, we may be able to refer you directly to such consultants.
