Who does D.O.N.E. work with?

We partner with nonprofits, foundations, and funder networks that face politically hostile or high-risk environments. Our clients include arts and culture organizations, education initiatives, and philanthropic institutions that need both compliance and clarity in their communications.

What services do you provide?

D.O.N.E. offers four main areas of integrated support:

• Legal Strategy: compliance reviews, 501(c)(3) guidance, executive order analysis, and federal contracting requirements.

• Narrative & Messaging: values-based narrative architecture, risk-informed messaging frameworks, and donor communications.

• Digital Security: We partner with seasoned digital security experts who help nonprofits protect sensitive data, secure online platforms, and reduce exposure to digital threats

• Website Audits: reviews of website language, structure, and user flow using a risk-informed lens

What is “narrative safety”?

Narrative safety means building a dynamic and holistic communications approach that inspires new audiences while withstanding political hostility. It ensures your story is rooted in widely shared values, consistent across platforms, and aligned with day-to-day practices to reduce organizational and grantee burnout.

What is an organizational “risk posture,” and why does it matter?

A risk posture is the stance your organization takes in a volatile political climate—whether bold and public or cautious and discreet. D.O.N.E. helps organizations clarify and communicate that posture consistently so stakeholders trust both your values and your resilience.

Do you conduct website audits?

Yes. D.O.N.E. offers website audits using a risk-informed lens. We review the hierarchy of information, messaging, and user experience to identify vulnerabilities in politically sensitive language and ensure your online presence reinforces trust with funders, partners, and the public.

Can DONE review our donor or funder communications?

Yes. We provide risk-informed audits of donor appeals, websites, newsletters, and annual reports. Our reviews ensure your materials are legally compliant, values-aligned, and strategically designed to strengthen funder trust.
