Brussels, Brussels-Capital Region , April 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Novya, Brussels' only consultancy exclusively dedicated to European and international nonprofit organizations, today announced its relaunch as an independent entity after successfully spinning off from DGA Group's European Association Management Practice. This strategic move positions Novya to directly address the unique challenges facing purpose-driven organizations across Europe.
Novya Launch
"The nonprofit sector is facing unprecedented pressure to demonstrate impact while navigating complex regulatory environments and stakeholder expectations," said Benita Lipps, CEO and Founder of Novya. "Our independence allows us to fully align our business model with our mission-helping purpose-driven organizations not just survive but thrive by bringing fresh thinking, practical solutions, and genuine partnership to their everyday challenges."
Setting New Standards for Nonprofit Excellence
At the heart of Novya's relaunch is the introduction of the European Nonprofit Excellence Framework-a groundbreaking, evidence-based model developed from over a decade of sector data. This framework establishes clear benchmarks for nonprofit strategy, management, and operations, enabling organizations to assess their performance against proven success factors.
"What makes European nonprofits different is their diverse cross-border stakeholder base, the complex regulatory environment in which they operate, and their relatively low resourcing, compared to US-based organisations," Lipps explained. "Our Excellence Framework is specifically designed for these unique challenges, unlike models imported from other markets."
Comprehensive Services for Purpose-Driven Organizations
Novya's service portfolio addresses three key areas where European nonprofits struggle most:
- Strategic Innovation - helping organizations clarify their unique positioning, build strategic alliances, and align activities with stakeholder needs
- Smart Impact - enhancing operational effectiveness through tailored secretariat services, project management, and change implementation
- Building Capacity - strengthening governance structures, developing nonprofit leadership skills, and transferring essential sector-specific knowledge
"European nonprofits deserve specialized support from partners who understand their unique context," Lipps added. "Our independence means we can fully embody the values we promote-creating an organization that demonstrates the excellence we help our clients achieve."
