Clarity, integrity, and strategy for high-risk times

We’re D.O.N.E.

At D.O.N.E. (Department of Nonprofit Efficiency), our mission is to help nonprofits, foundations, and funder networks navigate politically hostile environments by combining legal expertise, narrative strategy, and communications that protect missions, staff, and communities.

We’re a one-stop shop for organizations that need to safeguard their work and tell their story with confidence. From legal counsel to narrative design, strategic messaging to creative storytelling, we help you meet the moment with method instead of overwhelm.

We work towards a resilient civil society, rooted in trust and care, where we can imagine and build the futures our communities deserve.
