Illinois Stewardship Alliance

Staying at the top of their game with do good

For 40 years, the Illinois Stewardship Alliance has been an award-winning advocate for local foods and farms. With offices just blocks from the state capitol, their advocacy and programming has helped local farmers, other producers, and consumers access better, healthier, locally-raised foods.

To stay at the top of their game, the Alliance has sought do good’s help for a variety of organizational development issues. The organization regularly seeks training for board and staff in a variety of nonprofit best practices topics, including financial literacy and record keeping, data management, fundraising, and marketing.

They also know how important planning is, so we helped them develop annual fundraising and marketing plans to guide their work. We also helped develop some of the communications tools as well, including an engaging new brochure for their target audiences.

We also helped the Illinois Stewardship Alliance install and customize a new database, completing a data merge, de-dupping, and re-install process. Concurrently, we develop, coordinate, and launch their first formal annual giving campaign, including writing the first story-driven letter to send to donors.

do good conducted a board training for us and we couldn’t be more happy with the results. Extremely knowledgeable and  well-prepared with an excellent presentation balanced with reflective activities. Definitely recommend working with do good Consulting for all of your nonprofit needs!

When I first met Laura Huth of do good Consulting, I could tell immediately that she was a highly skilled professional who truly knew her material, and who customized that material for our organization. She organized a strategic planning session which incorporated generous contributions of her other talents, including marketing, fundraising, membership recruitment, board/staff training, and evaluating committee structure/function. The entire Board was so pleased with the results that we have hired Laura for additional work. She has been a real boon to the Illinois Stewardship Alliance!
