About Us

Our Story

With the founders profiled in the Washington Post Sunday Magazine, the National Center for Resource Development (“NCRD”) was created with one simple mission in mind: to help foundations, non-profits and institutions of higher education have a greater impact by more effectively executing their organizational missions.   NCRD excels at partnering with the organizations to drive greater value from existing assets or increase opportunities by developing entrepreneurial ecosystems. 

Born out of a deep understanding of mission-driven organizations, NCRD partners with organizations to apply business practices to help increase organizational effectiveness, expand mutually beneficial partnerships and develop innovative opportunities. 

From assistance with board governance and strategic planning to partnership and resource development, NCRD brings years of corporate, small business, and large funder knowledge to help mission-driven organizations expand.  

Taking on a limited number of partner clients with whom missions align, NCRD works to ensure the success of each project it accepts. NCRD works with partner-clients to develop a larger vision of potential sustainable funding streams and create value-added mission critical programs.
