Strategic Consulting for Nonprofits
Data-driven insights for sustainable, high impact results.
HI THERE. WE’RE BISON RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT.
Nonprofit organizations continue to struggle with the widening gap between demand for services and stable funding. We work with you to address these challenges and promote sustainable growth.
Bison Research & Development is a strategic consulting firm that uses data-driven insights to help nonprofits achieve sustainable growth and high-impact results.
Bison Research & Development was founded by Jared Star, a health and social science researcher and consultant with two decades of experience.
Our team specializes in transforming complex challenges into clear strategies that build resilience and long-term impact.
We help organizations across Canada and the United States build capacity, secure funding, and increase their cultural and social impact.
OUR PROCESS
Study. Plan. Do.
Study
We start with research. We listen, gather evidence, and dig into the issues to fully understand your organization, your community, and the challenges you face.
Plan
We work alongside you to develop a strategy. Our planning is collaborative, grounded in evidence, and tailored to your goals, resources, and context.
Do
We move ideas into action. Sometimes that means delivering the project ourselves; other times, it means equipping your team with the tools, training, and support needed for implementation. Either way, we stay committed until we reach our shared goals.
