Signature Program
Project E.N.G.A.G.E.
Project E.N.G.A.G.E. is Grey & Associates’ signature program for nonprofits and public agencies that want clear direction and results they can measure. It brings strategic planning, community engagement, board consulting, and capacity building into one engagement, so your plan, your people, and your stakeholders move together.
What you get
One program, four results
Through Project E.N.G.A.G.E., we work with you to:
How it works
Decide. Design. Deliver.
Project E.N.G.A.G.E. runs on the framework behind every Grey & Associates engagement.
Decide what matters
- Discovery and baseline: current-state scan, stakeholder map, KPI inventory
- Listening sessions with residents, partners, and staff
- Priorities agreed by leadership and the board
Design systems that work
- Strategy cascade: SMART objectives, initiatives, resourcing, decision rights
- Performance system: KPI library, metrics dictionary, dashboards
- Board structures, roles, and an engagement plan
Deliver measurable results
- Execution sprints: barrier removal, office hours, adoption tracking
- Results review: 30/60/90-day after-action reviews with updated SOPs and scorecards
- Regular updates to stakeholders on what changed
Core components
What is inside the program
Every engagement is scoped to your needs. Most include all four components; some start with one.
Strategic Planning
Clear priorities with owners, milestones, and review cadences, built on Results Based Accountability™ (RBA) so you can show who is better off. See our strategic planning process.
Community Engagement
A simple, repeatable engagement system that makes it easy for stakeholders to share input and see how it shaped decisions. Together we choose the right platform and set a communication rhythm, so updates are timely, questions get answered, and progress stays visible.
Nonprofit Board Consulting
We clarify fiduciary duties, board and staff boundaries, and bylaw alignment. We set up committees and charters, officer roles, an annual board calendar, and consent agendas. We strengthen financial oversight with a budget review cadence, dashboards, and reserve policy guidance, and we build a board engagement plan for fundraising. Explore board retreat facilitation.
Capacity Building
Leadership and team tools grounded in Everything DiSC® and The Five Behaviors®, plus short, role-based training your managers can use right away. See capacity building services.
Who it is for
Nonprofits and public agencies that want a confident board and leadership team, practical measures that show impact, and a plan that involves the people it affects.

FAQ
Questions about Project E.N.G.A.G.E.
What does E.N.G.A.G.E. stand for?
E.N.G.A.G.E. stands for Enabling New Growth through Actionable Goals and Engagement. The name reflects the two halves of the program: actionable goals that your team can measure, and engagement with the board, staff, residents, and partners who make those goals possible.
How is Project E.N.G.A.G.E. different from strategic planning alone?
A strategic planning engagement produces the plan. Project E.N.G.A.G.E. adds the pieces that help the plan hold: community engagement so stakeholders shape and follow the work, board consulting so governance supports it, and capacity building so staff can carry it out. If you only need the plan, our strategic planning service may be the better fit.
How does Project E.N.G.A.G.E. relate to Decide, Design, Deliver?
Decide, Design, Deliver is the framework behind every Grey & Associates engagement. Project E.N.G.A.G.E. is the program that runs on it: you decide what matters, design the systems that make it work, and deliver measurable results, with engagement built into each phase.
Who is Project E.N.G.A.G.E. for?
It is built for nonprofits and public agencies that want clear priorities with owners and review cadences, practical KPIs and dashboards that show impact, a board and leadership team aligned on roles and decisions, and a plan to involve stakeholders and report results. Corporate teams use the community engagement component on its own.
How long does it take, and what does it cost?
Timing depends on which components you include. The strategic planning core typically runs 6 to 10 weeks, and engagement, board, and capacity work can continue alongside it. We price by scope, not by the hour, and you will see a written proposal before you commit.
