OTTAWA, ONTARIO (October 22, 2025) –
Rodney C. Evely, FCMC, a recognized global leader in enterprise technology and business strategy, today announced the release of his groundbreaking new book, "The Charitable Consultant: Transformative Strategies for Nonprofits." This essential guide arrives as the nonprofit sector grapples with unprecedented pressures, including climate crises, digital disruption, and rapidly evolving donor expectations. The book provides a critical roadmap for executive directors, board members, and nonprofit leaders navigating the complex landscape of 2025. It translates over 25 years of Evely's cross-sector expertise into actionable frameworks for turning systemic challenges into sustainable, mission-advancing opportunities. "In a world of increasing complexity, nonprofits are expected to operate with the precision of a Fortune 500 company, the agility of a tech startup, and the moral compass of a human rights advocate," said Evely. "Our sector has long
been rewarded for being 'cheap' rather than effective. This book shatters that outdated paradigm, demonstrating that strategic investment in governance, technology, and leadership is not an overhead cost—it's a lifeline for impact."
"The Charitable Consultant" delivers transformative strategies across key areas essential for modern nonprofit success, including:
- Governance as a Strategic Lever: Moving beyond basic compliance to governing for mission impact in the 21st century.
- AI & Data-Driven Decision-Making: A practical guide to implementing ethical artificial intelligence solutions tailored to nonprofit budgets and contexts.
- Crisis-Proofing Your Mission: Building organizational resilience against geopolitical, economic, and operational risks.
- Ethical Fundraising in the Digital Age: Strengthening donor trust and maximizing revenue through transparent practices and robust ESG frameworks.
- Practical Toolkits for Immediate Application: Featuring real-world case studies from organizations like Urban Hope and Roots Collective.
Rodney Evely brings a unique blend of elite strategic training from Oxford and decades of hands-on experience advising organizations through complex transformations. His founding role in establishing the CMC Canada Pro Bono Program, which has provided strategic consulting to nearly 25 charities nationwide, underscores his deep commitment to empowering the sector. An early reviewer noted, "Rodney wields elite strategic frameworks not to commodify compassion, but to elevate its impact. This book is a masterclass in applying boardroom rigour to the heart of social change."
"The Charitable Consultant: Transformative Strategies for Nonprofits" is available for purchase in paperback and e-book formats on Amazon and through all major online book retailers.
