part'-ner (n) : One who is united with others in a common interest or activity; an ally; a teammate
DeAnn Collins Dockery, Principal
In today's economy, nonprofits have to be grounded in the roots of effective leadership, management and donor relationship development. Long-term fundraising success is not easy, but it is achievable. Bottomline, donor investment is the key to the ability to excel in your mission.
PartnersWithNonprofits was originally founded as Funding Resources. Founding principal Jane Jordan, first and foremost, wanted to work directly with clients -- to be "in the trenches" -- adding value to our nonprofit clients and the people and communities they serve.
That commitment continues today as we strive to exceed your expectations. Call 904.502.6889 and let's talk or e-mail me now.

Why the Dragonfly . . .
Like nonprofit executives everywhere, the dragonfly is in almost constant motion, and is one of the fastest insects in the world. It has two pairs of strong wings that keep this remarkable insect in the air nearly 100% of its life, 360-degree vision and the ability to turn on a dime. Its dominance comes from the fact that its nearly transparent wings must work in total harmony at all times in order for it to fly. And in all of its iterations, it's quite beautiful.
