FAQ’s

More than 23 years ago, Nonprofit HR’s Founder, President and CEO, Lisa Brown Alexander, realized the nonprofit sector did not have the same access to the same quality of human resources support as for-profit companies, yet the work they do and the communities they serve have a significant impact on us all.

She recognized the nuances and differences between for-profit and nonprofit human resources practices and founded Nonprofit HR to provide specific support, guidance and thought partnership for and to social impact organizations.

Today, Lisa continues to believe that when nonprofits strengthen their internal people management capacity, they can better deliver on their missions and transform the communities they are seeking to serve.

No. Nonprofit HR is a privately-held, for-profit human resources and talent management consulting firm that works exclusively with the social impact sector.

The core of any nonprofit is its mission and the people behind the mission. The effective deployment of people management strategies and practices play a pivotal role in that mission’s impact. The unique role of the board, volunteers, community stakeholders and funders create a unique set of opportunities and challenges that nonprofit leaders must respond to daily. The failure to deploy people resources effectively can have a detrimental impact on the communities a nonprofit serves. Nonprofit HR understands that.

Nonprofit HR’s services include the full talent management lifecycle. Whether an organization is just starting, emerging, established or folding its doors, Nonprofit HR can assist with advisory and implementation services in the areas of Human Resources, Recruitment Outsourcing, Search, Total Rewards, Strategy & Advisory and Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Justice.

Nonprofit HR has been an invaluable resource for the DC Primary Care Association. They have worked specifically on staff recruitment, assisted with employee benefit audits and payroll system clean up. They have worked effectively with our Finance Department to complete our 5500 compliance reports and they have assisted the CEO with various personnel matters.  Nonprofit HR has been very responsive, strategic and a great resource to the organization. I would highly recommend their services.
