65°45′N 168°58′WSupport for charities & businesses

Lead the mission.
We'll do the rest.

We're the support team you can't afford to hire, at a price you can. Websites, funding, communications and staffing, handled by one partner.

Services

We run the work your team can't staff.

Choose one service area, two, or all three. You pay one monthly retainer and get one team that knows your organization.

01

Digital

A website that's current, an app if you need one, and posts that go out on schedule.

  • Websites Build & upkeep
  • Apps Supporters & customers
  • Content & media Social, email, video
02

Funding & growth

Grant applications researched and written, campaigns planned and run, and donors and customers followed up on time.

03

Operations

The emails, schedules and open roles that keep an organization running day to day.

  • Communications Supporters & customers
  • Volunteer & team coordination Sign-ups & shifts
  • Role coverage Fill the gaps
What we hear most
Most leaders spend their best hours on work outside their role.

Charity leaders often run their cause alongside a full-time job. Business owners wear every hat at once. Either way, the website needs updating, a funding deadline is coming, the inbox needs answering and a role sits empty.

We take that work off your plate so your time goes back to the people you serve.

Why one partner

Cheaper than an agency. Faster than hiring.

And one point of contact instead of five freelancers.

From first call to work off your plate.

It starts with one free conversation. You don't commit to anything until you've seen the plan.

  1. 130 minutes · free

    Free consult

    A 30-minute call about your organization: who you serve, who does the work today and where the hours go.

    • No cost and no obligation
    • By phone or video, at a time that suits your schedule
  2. 2Pain points

    Find what's draining you

    We pinpoint the tasks that take the most time, keep slipping, or that nobody on your team wants to do.

    • Missed grant and funding deadlines
    • An outdated website
    • Supporters and customers waiting on replies
  3. 3Your plan

    A plan to make life easier

    We send a written plan: which service areas fit, what we'll handle each month and your monthly price.

    • One, two or three service areas
    • Clear scope, so you know what's covered
  4. 4Every month

    We take it on

    We run the work and report back each month, and we adjust the plan as your organization grows or the season changes.

    • One point of contact
    • Regular check-ins on what's done and what's next
About Bering Connections

A support team for organizations that can't spare the hours.

We handle digital, funding and operations work for charities and businesses, so the people leading them can spend their time on what they started it for.

Why we exist
Good work loses hours to tasks nobody signed up for.

Charity leaders often run their cause alongside a full-time job. Business owners wear every hat at once. Both face the same choice: hire help they can't fully use, pay an agency rate, or manage a handful of freelancers who never talk to each other.

Bering Connections fills that gap: one partner on one monthly retainer, covering the work an organization needs done but can't staff.

How we work

Three things we hold to.

01

One partner, not five

You have one point of contact for your website, campaigns, supporters, customers and staffing. There's no handing work between vendors.

02

Priced to your size

Plans are built from the service areas you need and sized to your budget, not an agency's rate card.

03

Built around your time

Every plan starts with where your hours go. We take on the work that drains them and leave you the parts you care about.
