We build organizational capacity for emerging nonprofits.
You’re working around the clock to bring your vision to life. But no matter how hard you work, limited time and limited resources mean a lot of things still end up falling by the wayside.
Zagora Strategies was established to help nonprofit founders maximize their organizational capacity by matching them with essential systems and tools to help them work more smoothly and grow to meet the needs of tomorrow.
