Non-Profit Organizations

With roots in the "third sector", Friuch Consulting recognizes and can work with the unique operational challenges that Canadian non-profit organizations face. For advocacy-based organizations, Friuch Consulting has the expertise to help you develop policy platforms that can be taken to government partners to further your advocacy agenda.

The rate of new non-profit organizations created every year in Canada is growing exponentially and in order to survive, today's non-profit needs to become financially sustainable. Friuch can also help your organization discover new revenue streams and turn your organization into a social enterprise instead of a charity.

With more than ten years of experience helping non-profits with their communications and marketing campaigns, let Friuch Consulting show you how the right communications strategy can help your organization meet its mandate.

In addition to paid work for non-profit organizations, Friuch Consulting completes roughly 400 hours per year of pro bono work for a range of non-profit organizations. See the "Community" section of this website to learn more about Friuch's pro bono work.

Canadian Home Builders Association

In 2004, the Canadian Home Builders Association of BC contracted Friuch Consulting to conduct an assessment of BC technical college trades training. The goal of this assessment was to determine if the number of college graduates with trades training was going to meet demand in BC for the foreseeable future.

The project was a success and the data was used as part of a lobbying effort to encourage the government of BC to fund more Entry Level Trades Training seats in specific trades.

Nanotechnology BC Alliance

Starting in 2006, Friuch Consulting provided research services to Nanotech BC on several projects focused on the Nanotechnology and Photonics industries. These projects cataloged industrial activity in BC and looked at opportunities to provide more value to these companies. Friuch met with executives at local companies to discuss the future of the industry and where an organization like Nanotech BC could help the local cluster.
