Client Stories From Vision to Impact
The best way to understand what we do is to see it in action. Here are a few stories from organizations we've been proud to partner with.
Recent ProjectsFrom organizational change to program build to fund development — here's what it looks like when Dewtier gets to work.
Design. Organizational Strategy
EDUCAUSE
We know our members' needs are shifting and our resources are shrinking — how do we get clear on what we should be doing differently, and what do we stop doing altogether?
Project: Dewtier led a mixed-methods member analysis, developed strategic recommendations, and facilitated an organization-wide planning refresh.
Impact: A shift from one-size-fits-all to a needs-based service model, stronger cross-institutional collaboration, and new partners and sponsorship attracted to sustain the work.
Build. Leadership Program
Listen4Good
We have a proven model and a vision for something bigger — how do we turn that vision into a real, scalable program without losing what makes our work effective?
Solution: Dewtier led the end-to-end design and national launch of their Advanced Program — curriculum, facilitation tools, peer learning model, evaluation framework, and the cross-functional coordination to bring it all together.
Impact: A nationally scaled leadership development program that deepened equity and feedback practices for nonprofits nationwide.
Grow. Fundraising
iMentor Chicago
We have big goals for growth to reach more students — how do we build the fundraising relationships and brand presence to actually get there?
Solution: Dewtier developed their fundraising strategy — prospect research, capital campaign materials, brand strategy, and fundraising event support.
Impact: Increased brand awareness in the Chicago philanthropic community, successful fundraising events, and new donor pipelines that set the team up for sustainable growth.
