Community Resource Exchange (CRE) is a nonprofit consulting firm that works to build a more just, equitable and livable city for ALL New Yorkers. Informed by three decades of experience and an intimate knowledge of New York City, CRE works both with emerging grassroots groups and more well-established nonprofit institutions in communities where resources and opportunities are limited.
We believe that community-based nonprofits are the engines of social change. CRE serves as a catalyst for that change by helping these organizations build management capacity and improve their overall effectiveness. CRE does that by providing one-to-one consulting and professional development in the areas of:
• Fundraising
• Strategic and program planning
• Board development
• Human resource management
• Budgeting and financial management
• Mergers and organizational restructuring
• Leadership development
• Team building
At CRE, our purpose is to provide nonprofit managers with the skills they need to both optimize their own talent and increase their organization’s overall efficiency. This is achieved, in part, by helping leaders grapple with and solve management challenges, thus freeing staff to concentrate on providing essential programs and services to our city’s most vulnerable and needy neighborhoods.
In addition to improving your nonprofit’s general operations, we’ll also show you how to better demonstrate the results you are achieving, allowing you to more effectively make the case for greater investment in your organization, community or cause. In many cases, we provide our unparalleled consulting services at no cost to your organization.
In addition to our consulting work, we publish management books and materials, train leaders, run a state-of-the-art conference center, and convene nonprofit, government and foundation representatives on issues of importance to our communities and the nonprofit sector.
