Mid-Illinois Big Brothers Big Sisters

Changing young lives together

Mid-Illinois Big Brothers Big Sisters has been a positive force in the lives of children for over 40 years providing mentoring relationships to build strong futures.

The Lumpkin Family Foundation partnered with do good to conduct a 10-part organizational assessment for Big Brothers Big Sisters. Our work analyzing and reviewing organizational operations gave their staff and board a comprehensive look at the state of their operations, including where they excelled and where they needed to focus organizational efforts. The report included basic financial notes, priority ratings, and personnel assignments to help the organization determine how best to begin addressing the noted needs. As a part of the organizational assessment process, do good also offered fundraising and marketing training for the organization’s leadership to help boost their capacities in these two key operational areas.

As the organization’s 40^th anniversary approached, do good was again brought in to help create special campaign materials and a unique 40^th year indicia, or mark, for the group to use. A multi-purpose set of brochures and inserts were created highlighting the new indicia for organizational members to use in cultivating new donors and volunteers.

Laura did a complete program assessment for Mid-Illinois Big Brothers Big Sisters. She completed the assessment in a timely manner and was extremely thorough. Her recommendations were presented concisely in written form along with cost and time projections to the board of directors and executive director. We were very pleased.
