GoodWork Seacoast

GoodWork is a not-for-profit organization that provides high-value customized incubator services including executive coaching, access to successful business professionals and nonprofit leaders, expert training, resources, programs and professional development and peer to peer support and networking, to start-up and early-stage nonprofits to help bring their innovative ideas to fruition. Located in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, GoodWork currently serves the communities of Strafford and eastern Rockingham Counties, with plans to expand the geographic region we serve as the model is tested and proven. Developing a mission, putting together marketing and fundraising plans, and submitting all the necessary paperwork required to achieve tax-exempt status can be daunting tasks that emerging nonprofits may struggle with on top of establishing credibility, building their network and finding affordable office space. GoodWork provides a solution to that challenge. Startup, early-stage and small to mid-size nonprofits often have little to no technology, legal, human resources and operational expertise in house. The cost for top-notch service in each of these critical areas can be out of reach for these organizations. At GoodWork, incubator participants have access to pro bono professional consultation and support. GoodWork incubator participants go through a rigorous intake and assessment process that informs the development of a report that includes recommendations for optimization, a slate of goals and deliverables, suggested cohort learning opportunities and a timeline for completion of measurable outcomes. Accepted incubator participants will engage in the incubation process for up to two years. Upon entry participants will begin working with an executive coach, professional partners and a mentor. The GoodWork team of skilled and experienced coaches, professional partners and mentors facilitate learning and guide nonprofits on the path towards success.
