Strong organizations. Grounded leaders. Equity at the center.
Marquis-Duggan Non-Profit Solutions helps nonprofits, boards, and coalitions build the clarity, leadership, and infrastructure to do their best work. We bring 25+ years of experience leading and advising organizations of every size. That includes local programs and statewide coalitions as well as national and international organizations. We specialize in:
- Strategic planning, theory of change, and mission/vision/values work
- Organizational assessment, capacity building, and change management
- Board development and governance
- Leadership development, executive coaching, and succession planning
- Interim executive leadership and executive hiring
- Fund development and grants strategy
- Retreat, convening, and coalition facilitation
- Merger assessment and facilitation
Our core values are justice, equity, integrity, empathy, authenticity, and diversity. We center all of our work with an equity lens. We believe that the communities most affected by an issue should drive the solutions. Our practice is survivor-centered and trauma-informed, grounded in decades of anti-violence and social justice work.
At the core of our philosophy, you are already the expert in your own organization. Our job is to help you draw on that expertise. We do it by strengthening your board, staff, and volunteers, adapting your core strategies, and deepening your relationships with the communities you serve. We’re especially at home in start-up and transitional moments, when roles are still forming and someone has to hold both the big picture and the daily follow-through.
People often ask about the name: Marquis is my grandmother’s maiden name, Duggan is my mother’s. I am well aware of how these two generations of women enabled me to grow as a leader because of their work ethics, encouragement, and support.
“Janeen and her partner Antionette facilitated a 6 hour retreat for our 18-member nonprofit board recently. Their preparation, experience and passion for nonprofit management was evident from the start and added up to many valuable takeaways. They each bring a special gift to facilitating through their complimentary styles, war stories, tips and sound advice…I believe a key to culture building is team members sharing vulnerability. The exercises we engaged in facilitated this in a way that made each member feel safe in sharing and rewarded by growing together. Raising awareness about structural inequity is a key part of our board and organization’s mission. Equity was a theme throughout the retreat, thanks to these sensitive facilitators. I highly recommend Janeen and Antionette for their skill in managing retreats and am sure they can serve any nonprofit in a multitude of ways based on their experience and understanding of the issues and concerns we all face in trying to help others in our communities.”
