Strategic Consulting Services

We help you develop the organizational clarity and capabilities needed for long-term success. We work with nonprofit leaders, governing entities, and other local stakeholders to identify key areas for growth and develop strategic and operating plans that enable local media organizations to achieve meaningful impact now and in the future.

Accounting & Financial Services

We provide nonprofit media organizations with confidential, cost-effective budgeting, accounting, financial and management reporting, CPB filings, and other related accounting services. We customize our services based on the needs of your organization.

Facilitating Collaborations & Mergers

We are your partner of choice when acquiring a new station, merging with another organization, or establishing a strategic partnership. We are dedicated to serving the needs of nonprofit media organizations and have helped guide leaders throughout the transaction process since the day we were founded. We bring the knowledge, relationships, and experience you need to make your growth and collaborative ambitions a reality.

Business Planning & Analysis

We help you identify and evaluate strategic business opportunities for increased growth and impact. Through operational assessments, in-depth market studies, and detailed financial analyses, we have helped nearly 400 nonprofit media organizations make informed decisions about their financial futures.

Sustainable Content Models

Our business planning extends to content-centered enterprises, such as journalism collaborations, online news sites, podcasts, and specific programs. We give guidance on multiplatform strategies and the revenue and expenses required to support growth and sustainability over time. We work with clients to identify best practices and help ensure that recommendations can be implemented effectively.

Impact for All

We believe that all organizations, regardless of size, deserve access to the insights and solutions they need to strengthen their services and succeed in their local communities. Impact for All is a grant-funded initiative that provides small and unique public radio and television stations with customized insight into their organization and an actionable plan for increased growth and local impact. Thank you to the Rogers Family Foundation, Wyncote Foundation, and FJC – A Foundation of Philanthropic Funds for making this possible.

Valuations

We have the experience, insight, and tools to assess the value of a public broadcasting license. Whether you need objective insight for a station sale, acquisition or lease, data for an audit or marketing campaign, leverage to finance a big project, or analysis for a new partnership, we’re here to fully assess the value of commercial and non-commercial stations, including your own. We also provide a full range of representative services to help guide you through the transaction process for purchases, sales, and partnerships.

As the nation’s leading advisor in securing financing for public media organizations, we’re uniquely qualified to connect you to the funding you need to increase your local impact, including through our Public Media Bond Program, which provides access to affordable, long-term financing options.
