Ascension Strategies and Ashley|Rountree are redefining what strategic planning looks like for mission-driven organizations. By pairing their people-first consulting expertise with the collaborative power of the Causey platform, they help nonprofits, foundations, and public agencies move beyond static plans to create dynamic, living strategies that drive real social impact. Through Causey, Ascension streamlines communication, fosters inclusive collaboration, and builds long-term strategic capacity—empowering leaders to clarify vision, align teams, and achieve meaningful, measurable results.

To enhance revenue while maintaining a strong commitment to client service, mission-driven strategy consultants are encouraged to adopt four key strategies: leveraging software like Causey to streamline tasks and increase efficiency, transitioning into roles such as a fractional director of strategy to add value through close engagement in strategic plan execution, diversifying and expanding service offerings through educational courses and other innovative services to attract a wider client base, and nurturing client relationships through a structured customer lifecycle process to encourage loyalty, repeat business, and referrals. These strategies collectively aim to maximize revenue opportunities without compromising the quality of service to clients, ensuring sustainable growth and a deeper impact in the communities they serve.
