Services & Fees
CANOE's part-time, remote services enable nonprofits to grow, thrive, and strengthen their positive impact on the world.
We hire and retain remarkable, highly qualified individuals to serve as nonprofits' operations teams, filling in the gaps for an organization in the areas of HR, IT, financial management, compliance and/or governance.
We are operations experts with different levels and types of experience.
We each contribute to an ever-evolving repertoire of best practices on managing nonprofit operations.
This repertoire is shared when our team partners with your organization.

our comprehensive approach

All coordinators, bookkeepers and managers report to a senior CANOE staff member with 10+ years of operations leadership experience. We also review and discuss the needs of each nonprofit partner as a team.
These practices result in comprehensive support for your organization and reduce the time you spend on oversight.
How it works
For each nonprofit partner, we create an affordable “package” of support that can be modified as needed over time.
Each partner works with a custom CANOE team that can quickly jump in and begin managing and strengthening their internal operations. The types of support and hours per week may vary, depending on the needs of the organization.
The people on the team may include:
-
a COO / CFO to advise on strategy and complex projects, as well as oversee all aspects of operations;
-
a coordinator who manages day-to-day administrative tasks;
-
a bookkeeper and/or accountant to manage routine financial activities, including the filing of 990s;
-
ad hoc expertise, including DEI assessments and consulting, HR or accounting advice, Spanish translations, etc.
