Community Resource Exchange

CRE is a nonprofit consulting firm that provides the strategies and tools needed to build sustainable, high-performing organizations that improve people's lives and drive social change. We partner with nonprofits, foundations, and government agencies to set ambitious goals for success — and then we help them get there. Together, we work to reduce poverty, promote equity, and increase opportunity. For 38 years, CRE has worked at the intersection of nonprofits and communities — building leaders and strengthening organizations to deliver impact. As a nonprofit ourselves, we believe that social sector organizations deserve accessible solutions to the challenges they face. Our diverse team of expert consultants provide customized strategies that blend deep consulting experience and operational expertise to help leaders succeed in an environment of complexity and change. We tap the transformative power of assessment, data, strategy, leadership, and collaboration to help organizations plan smartly, operate effectively, and produce results. CRE harnesses the lessons learned from each engagement to develop strategies that benefit the social sector as a whole. Today, CRE is proud to be the go-to partner annually for nearly 400 organizations — large and small — working to create opportunity and catalyze change.
