Wildhavens Services
The partnership between foundations and NGOs is the engine that drives conservation success in many areas. Because of its extensive experience with both funders and NGOs, Wildhavens is well-situated to help keep this conservation engine in-tune and operating at high performance.
Services for Foundations
Program Design: When a foundation prepares to launch a new program or re-design existing work. Wildhavens works with funders to devise an overarching blueprint including measurable goals, strategies to achieve them, and grant-making guidelines.
Strategic Assessments: Through independent analysis, interviews with pertinent players, and research, Wildhavens lays out the options for achieving conservation success in a way that empowers foundations to make good decisions about funding in a new geographic location or field of interest.
Grant Negotiation: Wildhavens can help implement a new program or strategy by negotiating with NGO partners the benchmarks and budgets needed to achieve measurable results.
Evaluation: In order to measure success and learn from a strategy or program, Wildhavens conducts retrospective analysis that leads to a clear understanding of progress to date and recommendations on future courses of action.
Services for NGOs
Strategic Planning: Through a collaborative process that helps develop consensus with staff and board, Wildhavens conducts strategic planning to clearly define an organization's purpose, establish realistic goals, determine strategies to achieve the goals, and outline how to implement its plan with staff, board, volunteer and financial resources.
Program Gap Analysis: Wildhavens can help identify the missing elements to a successful strategy or program and suggest ways in which to fill key gaps.
Operational Effectiveness and Program Audits: By making a snapshot analysis of structure or operating practices, Wildhavens can help measure the organizational health and effectiveness of an NGO.
Evaluation: Organizations often are too busy to reflect on past accomplishments. Wildhavens helps NGOs tell the story of their successes and learn from the obstacles they have faced.
Facilitation
Because funders and NGOs can't afford to waste time, Wildhavens facilitates key meetings at which consensus needs to be built or strategies need to be fleshed out.
