Weave Together is a South-Island based charity dedicated to supporting and empowering not-for-profits by providing expert consultancy and ongoing administrative support.
Organisations are under increasing pressure to deliver meaningful impact while navigating funding pressure, governance responsibilities, compliance requirements, stretched teams and limited resources.
At Weave Together we help community organisations make clearer decisions, strengthen their organisations and keep the everyday work moving.
We are a six-person team with deep experience across nonprofit leadership, governance, funding, finance, administration, systems, research and community development. Our work brings together two connected streams: specialist consultancy for organisations that need strategic support, and ongoing back-office services for small community organisations that need reliable practical help.
Consultancy that helps your organisation move forward
We provide senior consulting, governance support, funding strategy, social impact measurement, research and professional supervision for community organisations across Otago and NZ.
With over four decades’ combined experience in not-for-profit senior leadership and governance, our consultancy approach is thoughtful, proportionate and grounded in the realities of small community organisations.
Ongoing support for the work behind the work
Weave Together provides ongoing back-office and administrative support for small community organisations.
Many small nonprofits do not have the budget, workload or need for a full in-house administration, HR or finance role. Others have grown beyond what volunteers can reasonably manage. We can provide steady, reliable support that helps your organisation run well behind the scenes.
Why work with Weave Together?
We understand small nonprofits: We work with organisations where people are often carrying multiple roles, balancing limited funding, working with volunteer boards and trying to meet increasing expectations with limited capacity.
We bring senior expertise and practical experience: Our team has experience in nonprofit leadership, governance, funding, finance, systems, administration, community engagement, research and organisational development.
We make complex things clearer: Whether you need a strategic plan, a funding pathway, stronger governance, an impact framework or better systems, we help you work out what matters most and what needs to happen next.
We are practical, values-led and realistic: We do not offer generic advice or oversized solutions. We work alongside you to develop support that fits your organisation, your people, your context and your resources.
Support that fits your stage
Some organisations come to us because they need strategic advice or facilitation. Others need ongoing finance, payroll or administration support. Some need both.
We can help you identify the right support for where your organisation is now — whether that is a focused consultancy project, a facilitated planning session, monthly operational support, or a combination of services.
Start with a conversation
If your organisation needs clearer direction, stronger systems, better funding strategy, governance support or experienced practical help, we would be happy to talk.
“We’ve been with Weave since they started and they have been a rock of consistency and professionalism for our organization – accounts, strategic planning, policy development and more. And when tricky issues come up they are so helpful.”
—Paul McLellan-Smith, Creative Arts Trust Director
