Nonprofit Leadership & Governance FAQs

Nonprofit leaders today are navigating constant complexity—balancing fundraising demands, operational strain, and governance expectations that continue to grow. EROSolutions partners with mission-driven organizations to restore alignment, capacity, and clarity through fractional executive leadership. Our proven frameworks, including The ANCHOR Method™, help boards and CEOs move from reactive management to confident, sustainable leadership.

About EROSolutions

What is EROSolutions?

EROSolutions is a fractional nonprofit executive advisory firm that helps mission-driven organizations strengthen leadership, governance, and operations for sustainable growth. We provide Fractional Executive Leadership powered by The ANCHOR Method™, our proprietary operating system that transforms overextended nonprofits into confident, aligned, and resilient organizations.

Who is behind EROSolutions?

EROSolutions was founded by Annette Eros, a nonprofit executive with more than 25 years of leadership experience spanning healthcare, education, housing, climate innovation, and philanthropy. Annette has raised over $250 million, led multimillion-dollar campaigns, and built high-performing teams that turn mission into measurable impact.

What makes EROSolutions different from a consultant or coach?

We’re not traditional consultants or coaches—we act as fractional executive partners. That means we step into your leadership structure to stabilize, align, and strengthen your organization from within. We don’t replace your leadership; we amplify it through proven systems, accountability, and measurable results.

Our Approach

What is The ANCHOR Method™?

The ANCHOR Method™ is our six-step framework guiding every engagement:

1. Assess Reality – Diagnose your current state.


2. Navigate Priorities – Clarify strategic focus.


3. Clarify Roles & Governance – Strengthen leadership alignment.


4. Harmonize Operations – Streamline systems and processes.


5. Optimize Capacity – Expand leadership and team bandwidth.


6. Reinforce Resilience – Build long-term sustainability.

This methodology restores structure, confidence, and bandwidth so leaders can focus on what matters most—vision, fundraising, and impact.

What kinds of organizations benefit most from fractional executive leadership?

We work with growth-stage nonprofits, overextended CEOs, and strategic board members who need to stabilize operations, strengthen governance, or prepare for expansion. Ideal partners are organizations experiencing growth or transition but lacking the structure to sustain it.

How does EROSolutions measure success?

Success is always measurable. Typical outcomes include:

  • 10–15 hours of leadership bandwidth restored per week

  • 40% reduction in operational inefficiency

  • 100% clarity between board and CEO roles

  • Organizations frequently see stalled funding released once governance alignment and funder confidence are restored

Services and Frameworks

What services does EROSolutions offer?

All services are built on The ANCHOR Method™ and delivered through fractional executive partnerships:

  • The Nonprofit Leadership & Governance Audit™ – Diagnose misalignment and fiduciary risk.

  • The 90-Day Nonprofit Resilience Accelerator™ – Implement systems and capacity improvements.

  • The Resilience Roadmap™ – Develop a strategic blueprint for sustainable growth.

What is a Fractional Executive Partnership?

A time-bound engagement where we act as your interim or supplemental executive leader. We stabilize operations, clarify governance, and create sustainable systems—without the cost or delay of a full-time hire. Typical engagements last 90–180 days.

Do you work with all nonprofit sizes?

We primarily serve organizations with budgets between $2M–$25M, though we also support smaller or larger nonprofits preparing for growth, transition, or complex campaigns.

Getting Started

How do we know if we’re ready to work with EROSolutions?

If your organization is feeling strained, overextended, or preparing for growth, start with our Growth Readiness Checklist—a diagnostic tool that helps you determine whether your foundation is strong enough to scale sustainably.

If you’re unsure where to begin, the 90-Minute Nonprofit Stability Intensive™ provides immediate clarity and a customized next-step plan.

What happens after the initial consultation?

You’ll receive a clear summary of needs and a recommended next step—often a Governance Audit or Resilience Accelerator—to stabilize your organization and build confidence across leadership and boards.

Do you offer virtual or in-person engagements?

Yes, both. Most engagements are hybrid—combining in-person strategy sessions with virtual implementation to optimize efficiency and accessibility.

Outcomes and ROI

What results can we expect?

Clients typically experience:

  • Restored leadership bandwidth and focus

  • Clear governance and operational systems

  • Renewed donor and funder confidence

  • Sustainable rhythm and accountability across teams

How long does it take to see results?

Meaningful transformation begins within 90 days. Many organizations experience measurable progress—clarity, stability, and improved morale—within the first few weeks.

What’s the return on investment?

Our engagements often unlock previously delayed funding, reduce turnover risk, and restore executive stability. Clients report significant ROI within the first six months through regained donor confidence, improved efficiency, and increased fundraising capacity.

Philosophy and Vision

Why is fractional leadership essential for nonprofits today?

The nonprofit sector is under structural strain—chronically under-resourced, stretched thin, and facing increasing expectations and deliverables from funders and communities. Fractional leadership offers a sustainable solution, giving organizations access to senior executive expertise without the full-time cost or risk of turnover.

Fractional leadership is a cost-effective way to access the strategic insight and steady leadership of a seasoned executive without adding long-term overhead. It delivers the value of a senior leader at a fraction of the cost, with outcomes that strengthen both capacity and credibility.

How does EROSolutions support funder confidence?

We help organizations achieve board and CEO alignment, strengthen governance documentation, and implement systems that satisfy funders’ increasing demands for stability and measurable outcomes.

What’s the mission of EROSolutions?

To expand leadership bandwidth, strengthen governance, and build calm in the chaos—so nonprofit leaders can focus on the vision, not the firefighting.
