Our Clients

We believe that the economic health and social vitality of a city are directly tied to the strength of its nonprofit community. The Jericho Road Project works to enhance the quality of life in select cities by building the capacity of their nonprofit communities and currently have Jericho sites serving Lowell, Lawrence and Worcester, Massachusetts.

Our clients range from small, all volunteer organizations to larger entities with hundreds of employees. They include homeless shelters and immigrant organizations as well as museums and environmental organizations. Given that we work in cities with deep social needs, our work prioritizes underserved communities and enhances the quality of life for the whole community.

We begin our relationship with each client organization by conducting a client intake and, ideally, an organizational self assessment; the assessment prioritizes the organization’s needs, needs that we may then begin to address in collaboration with our client and volunteer consultants.

Clients that work with Jericho receive free and often cutting edge technologies and expertise that, over the years, allow them to deliver more and/or better services. Our services range from board development, personal coaches and strategic planning to marketing, IT and accounting. By working with us, our clients also benefit from the best practices in volunteer and project management.

In addition to working with individual organizations, Jericho also often acts as a hub for its client community, networking different organizations to share resources, create coalitions to meet an emerging community need or to apply for a large grant.

The Jericho model focuses on a long-term, deep and holistic organizational capacity building with a group of critical client organizations. The trust and knowledge that we develop in the course of our work, in addition to our highly personalized and proactive approach, allows our nonprofit clients to grow in strength and better serve their constituents and cities.
