In the vibrant nonprofit landscape of Atlanta, organizations often face challenges that can limit their impact. At CCT Atlanta, we believe that strategic growth is not just a goal but a necessity for nonprofits striving to serve their communities better. Our mission is to amplify the impact of Atlanta-area nonprofits by providing free, executive-level consulting through skilled volunteer teams. This unique approach connects experienced professionals with nonprofits, creating a powerful synergy that drives meaningful change.
Unlocking Potential with Nonprofit Consulting Services
Nonprofits often operate with limited resources and face complex challenges that require strategic solutions. That is where nonprofit strategic consulting comes in. At CCT Atlanta, we offer tailored consulting projects that help organizations clarify their mission, optimize operations, and develop sustainable growth strategies. Our volunteer consultants bring expertise in areas such as finance, marketing, operations, and leadership development.
For example, The SAE School partnered with us on a fundraising initiative and a five-year strategic plan that helped the school’s leadership and board align around priorities and communicate their vision to families and the community.
Our consulting projects are structured around two annual cycles, and participation requires an application. This ensures that both nonprofits and volunteers are fully committed to the process, maximizing the value and outcomes of each engagement.
How CCT Atlanta’s Nonprofit Strategic Consulting Drives Impact
Our approach to nonprofit strategic consulting is distinct because it is pro bono and delivered by highly skilled volunteers who are passionate about giving back. This model benefits both nonprofits and volunteers in several ways:
For nonprofits: We provide access to executive-level expertise that might otherwise be out of reach. Our consultants work closely with leadership teams to diagnose challenges, develop actionable plans, and implement solutions that lead to measurable improvements.
For volunteers: We offer meaningful opportunities to apply professional skills in a community-focused setting. Volunteers engage in two project cycles per year, applying through a competitive process that ensures a strong match between skills and nonprofit needs.
One recent engagement with Shepherd Center began as a program evaluation effort and grew into a clear vision and mission that leadership uses as a compass for the next five years.
By connecting skilled professionals with nonprofits, CCT Atlanta creates a ripple effect of positive change across the Atlanta community. Our consulting services are not generic advice but customized solutions that reflect each nonprofit’s unique context and goals.
Navigating the Application Process for Volunteers and Nonprofits
Participation in CCT Atlanta’s consulting projects is a commitment that requires careful consideration. We run two project cycles annually, and both nonprofits and volunteers must apply to be part of these cycles. This process ensures that every project is well-matched and poised for success.
For Nonprofits
Nonprofits interested in our services should prepare to articulate their challenges clearly and demonstrate readiness for strategic change. The application process includes:
Describing the organization’s mission and current challenges.
Identifying specific goals for the consulting engagement.
Committing leadership time and resources to collaborate with the volunteer team.
This structured approach helps us select nonprofits that will benefit most from our expertise and ensures that projects lead to tangible outcomes.
For Volunteers
Volunteers must bring relevant professional experience and a passion for community impact. The application process includes:
Detailing professional background and skills.
Expressing motivation for volunteering.
Committing to the time and effort required for the project cycle.
Because our projects are intensive and collaborative, we seek volunteers who are ready to engage deeply and deliver high-quality consulting.

Real Stories of Transformation Through CCT Atlanta
The true measure of our work is the success stories of the nonprofits we serve. Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta partnered with CCT to optimize Camp Kiwanis, where our team provided strategic recommendations to maximize revenue, manage costs, and enhance the camper experience.
Another example is our engagement with the National Incarceration Association. Working alongside their leadership, our volunteers delivered a strategic plan that unified the team, clarified priorities, and laid out actionable next steps to move the mission forward.
These stories highlight how CCT Atlanta’s nonprofit strategic consulting is not just advice but a catalyst for real, sustainable growth.
