Nonprofit & Social Enterprise Development
CATHERINE RUFF CONSULTING
(CRC)
The incredible work of nonprofits and social enterprise businesses is too often overshadowed due to financial, technological and capacity challenges.
The development world can be daunting for growing businesses, especially if your end goal is social impact.
​
On a shoestring budget with a skeleton staff, sometimes organizations need a helping hand to regroup, re-strategize and re-calibrate. Or maybe you've hit your stride, and you're ready to take it to the next level, but you're not quite sure what the journey from "small" to "medium" to "large" should look like.
When you hit a brick wall and need to figure out whether you should start climbing, digging, or drilling, we can work it out together.
​
Our motto is: "CRC puts pen to paper to grow grassroots ideas."
​
We are a woman-owned, results-driven, action-oriented firm that specializes in turning your vision into high-quality deliverables.
​
Fortified with a strong academic and "boots on the ground" background in writing, program design, and development, CRC has generated millions of dollars of grant funding and organizational development for our clients.
We look forward to working alongside you to drive your mission forward!
