The Birth of a New Vision

The Birth of a New Vision

Posted by Melissa Lagowski

In the summer of 2015, I was having lunch with a friend at Navy Pier, talking about how hard Big Buzz works to make an impact in the nonprofit arena. That conversation stuck with me for weeks. All I could think about was how we could make a bigger impact in the nonprofit sector than we were currently making.

A few weeks later while driving down Lake Shore Drive, it hit me: Big Buzz Idea Group needed to offer more than just event planning services! After a quick assessment of my years of nonprofit service, I realized that I had taken two nonprofits out of the red and into the black, and I really liked providing their operational support, which created the opportunity for the leadership to focus on the mission, vision and strategy of the organization. And so that afternoon, the seed was sown and the vision born for what Big Buzz Idea Group was to become.

We have spent the past year planning and preparing for this exciting change. Through close analysis, we realized that while most nonprofits should be run like a business, most are hiring entry level people to service their organizations due to budget constraints. What entry level person do you know that could effectively support a CEO and run a business well? When this realization became clear, I knew that Big Buzz Idea Group needed to help fix this disconnect.

Big Buzz Idea Group is excited to announce that we are now offering the following Nonprofit Management Services:

  • Administrative Services
  • Bookkeeping
  • Communications
  • Database Management
  • Event Planning

 

Our goal is to focus on the day-to-day operations of nonprofit organizations so leadership can focus their efforts on the vision, mission and strategy of the organization. Let Big Buzz Idea Group spark the growth and power of your organization. Schedule your FREE consultation today.
