What Cause Craft Consulting does

Cause Craft Consulting is a privately-held, for-profit boutique management consulting firm founded in 2018 that provides organizational effectiveness services exclusively to nonprofit organizations. The firm is led by co-founders and Principals Alice Hendricks and Misty McLaughlin, supported by Senior Consultants Kara Cruoglio and Jennie Corman and an external network of purpose-driven partners, with offices in the U.S. (Washington, Boston, Connecticut) and the Netherlands. Its service offering is organized into three practice areas: Technology, Digital & AI Transformation (digital transformation, system RFPs and selection, tech assessments and roadmaps, AI readiness, CRM and data strategy, tech and data policies); Staffing & Structures (hiring support, staffing models, stakeholder alignment, realignments and restructures, workforce planning); and Processes & Ways of Working (operating models, process mapping and design, governance, change readiness, facilitation and coaching). The firm does not sell a software product or proprietary technology platform; it sells senior-consultant time delivered through an embedded engagement model. The client roster is concentrated in large U.S. nonprofits and includes Médecins Sans Frontières USA, U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee, Feeding America, PBS, Sierra Club, Easterseals, Aspen Institute, American Lung Association, New York Health Foundation, and Catholic Relief Services. Revenue is generated through quote-based, multi-year consulting engagements with no publicly disclosed pricing. The firm has not raised institutional capital and operates as an independent, owner-managed practice.
