PIP: Producing a Ripple Effect that Goes On and On and On

Drop a pebble in the water: Just a splash and it is gone;
But there's a half-a-hundred ripples circling on and on and on,
Spreading, spreading from the center, flowing on out to the sea.
And there is no way of telling where the end is going to be.

We often describe Partnership in Philanthropy as the pebble that produces a continuous ripple effect for the organizations we serve. PIP’s board leadership training motivates trustees to become stronger advocates for their cause, more involved custodians of the by-laws, policies and procedures of the organization and more invested fundraisers. All of these can bring long-term positive changes. PIP’s program analysis enables organizations to re-assess their programs’ viability in addressing needs and targeting clients. PIP’s assistance with budgeting oversight, helps stabilize the finances of a nonprofit. PIP’s strategic planning process provides a viable, realistic blueprint for a productive future. And the more secure the nonprofit, the more it can provide needed services for its neighborhood and its community. Each of the skill sets above can be the pebble that sends ripples circling on and on and on.

Fortunately, PIP has been making waves in New Jersey for nearly twenty years, and there’s “no way of telling where the end is going to be.”
