Ramona Non Profit Consulting, Inc., (RNPC) that has recently received its a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization approval from the Internal Revenue Service, has an unusual mission: Its main purpose is to aid other non profits to improve operations and better fulfill their missions.
RNPC recently was added to the thousands of non-profits currently operating in the state of Michigan.
"What makes Ramona Non Profit Consulting, Inc. different from the others is its mission: to positively impact society by assisting non-profit organizations in reaching their goals and fulfilling their missions," says Ramona President & CEO Lori Perreault, a veteran of 18 years in fundraising and strategic planning.
"Non-profit organizations all over Michigan have been developed to aid specific causes," says Ms. Perreault. "What we need is to make current organizations more effective."
RNPC, formerly The Ramona Group, will continue to serve its several dozen clients across Michigan, many from the Detroit area.
A native of Essexville and graduate of Garber High, she attended Saginaw Valley State University and earned a marketing degree from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and has worked for venture capital firms in Houston and Dallas, Texas.
Ms. Perreault this year created Ramona Non Profit Consulting, Inc., which will work with other organizations to promote various causes, enhance media coverage, increase capital, communicate with donors, utilize collaboration, and serve as a general resource center.
"Ramona will enrich communities throughout Michigan and across the United States by facilitating and encouraging collaborations between non-profits, corporations, grantmakers, and grantseekers," she said.
In 1996, Perreault founded The Ramona Group, Inc., a for-profit company focused strictly on fund development. Recently, Perreault recognized the need to expand her services and increase the company's scope. And so, The Ramona Group, Inc. became Ramona Non Profit Consulting Inc. and will provide extensive assistance to an array of non-profits.
Ramona Non Profit Consulting Inc. is located at 701 E. South Union, Bay City. For more information, contact Lori Perreault at (989) 895-0960, or by email at lperreault@ramonagroup.com.###
