Full Service Association Management

Coulter Nonprofit Management was founded in 1989 as Association Management Bureau– and we are not your typical association management company.

Start with our market approach. Coulter Nonprofit Management works with socially principled, high-potential organizations whose success intertwines business excellence with societal purpose. We very consciously choose to serve clients who mirror our values and ethos.

Now look at our experience. As one of fewer than 2 percent of association management companies worldwide to earn Charter Accreditation from both the Association Management Company Institute and the American Society of Association Executives, Coulter Nonprofit Management has perfected the operating systems and business processes that fuel client success.

Then there are our people—the heart and soul of our enterprise. Like our clients, the people of Coulter Nonprofit Management are diverse, but share a common passion for seeing nonprofit potential achieved. We care, and it's evident in the way we apply outcomes-driven business principles to our clients' programs, services, visions, and missions. And by drawing on the added resources of our colleagues at Coulter Events and Coulter Strategy & Innovation, we further leverage intelligence into action.

Our work with our full service clients runs the gamut, but a list of our key areas of focus include:

  • Strategic Analysis
  • Resource Development and Fundraising
  • Communications and Public Relations
  • Government Relations and Advocacy
  • Research and Survey Design
  • Governance
    • Governance Review and Board Training
    • Management and Operations
    • Fiduciary and Financial Controls
    • Information Systems and Services
    • Web and e-commerce
    • Publications Management
    • Member Marketing and Retention
    • Specialty Program Management
    • Chapter and SIG Development and Management
  • Events
    • Meetings, Conferences and Trade Shows
    • Awards Programs
    • Niche Special Events and Special Projects

Finally, consider reputation. Coulter Nonprofit Management has been honored by the American Business Ethics Awards as one of the top three companies in the United States of fewer than 250 employees. Recognizing that the ethics, integrity, and business practices of an association management firm publicly define those of its clients, what type of company do you want managing your nonprofit organization?

Making good organizations great. We are Coulter Nonprofit Management.
