DESCRIPTION:

ESC was founded in 1982, to link retired executives as volunteer consultants to charities seeking affordable management assistance. Since then it has assisted 1300 organizations of all types and sizes throughout New England. Today is it stronger than ever -- 200 volunteers, many not yet retired, who contribute an average of 100 hours a year; they have been carefully identified and interviewed (only 1 in 6 applicants is accepted into the program), then trained in the latest issues and “best practices” of philanthropic sector management. They assist over 100 charities each year, 40% of whom are returning satisfied clients, 79% of whom have budgets below $1 million. Each year ESC offers a day-long Management Conference providing workshops and presentations in a broad range of subjects; in 2003, it attracted more than 400 attendees from over 200 charities. That’s productivity! Give them a call if you or your corporation are interested in donating or volunteering.
