Mission Driven / Not-For-Profit

Fort Dearborn Partners has assisted not-for-profit and mission driven organizations in addressing the difficult financial and operational issues they encounter due to economic cycles and funding changes, and understands the unique challenges they face. We bring management, financial, and strategic planning expertise, which helps Management weather difficult financial times in order to stabilize their organization's operation in the short term, so it can quickly get back to focusing on its long-term mission delivery.

Many of our clients operate in the healthcare, social services and education sectors as well as municipally funded recreational facilities and related services. Beyond assisting them as clients, Fort Dearborn’s professionals offer their free time to several not-for profits in capacities ranging from volunteer to board member.
