What we aim to solve
David Johnson founded Spring Oath Consulting in 2017. From his own experience with his first nonprofit, he discovered the importance of having support, mentors, and a business coach. Paying it forward, he created Spring Oath Consulting to provide what he did not have in his own life to others like him with similar stories. Our mission not only creates better businesses it addresses and meets the physiological and structural needs of new entrepreneurs by reducing anxiety, providing clarity in their vision, and creating systems for success. We work with our clients to understand their business strategy, available talents, needs, and development objectives. We then propose solutions to meet their objectives. Spring Oath Consulting will go to length to help identify demographics, psychographics, lifestyle patterns, and service areas needing improvement to assist your marketing and programming. This information helps the client to grow and attract customers, which brings us to our first

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Everyone does not have the opportunity to learn from a university, have family members that's in business, or tons of money to pay for a business coach or consultant. We started Spring Oath to be a solution for those who have no experience, guidance, or money to get started operating a business or a nonprofit. Our solutions are strategic, consistent, and done in an informed way. We aim to allow anyone with a dream an opportunity.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
The approach to these methods are in 5 steps:
1. We identify local resources,
2. Research/survey,
3. Develop a strategy/Implement,
4. Measure Progress,
5. Finally, adjust the strategy.
During the whole process we strive for transparency and accountability for success and failures, not practicing cancel culture across all we work with and work for. More details of this approach can be found at wwwSpringOath.org.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Our very first client in our NBA Plan in Q1 of 2021 back when we had a push for neighborhood associations was Ms. Alma Trawick of the Keystone Millersville Neighborhood Association. After her taking a hiatus from the neighborhood association and moving on the other side of the city for a year she returned with a passion and fire to revitalize her neighborhood association. Keystone Millesville and Spring Oath Consulting restructured her organization, created a strategic plan, built her a website, developed her CRM system, created a case statement for her group, and educated her and her team on strategies moving forward as they pressed through the pandemic.
Q2 Spring Oath Consulting received $92,000 from the Small Business Administration due to the Covid Crisis. This investment launched us into a full operation and made our annual budget 2 times over. This investment our government made in us has allowed us to help dozens of organizations across the nation and even internationally.
Q3 We established relationships, partnerships, clients in the Houston, Texas area. More importantly, Spring Oath's Board of Directors decided to hire Mr. David Johnson Sr. to be the first paid staff member of Spring Oath Consulting taking the lead on building the business and securing funding for longevity. David's proven success and track record of excellence has proven to accelerate Spring Oath's growth and he is still blazing forward with strategic excellence and financial acumen.
Q4 As we close this fiscal year Spring Oath Consulting has acquired its first official office space in Houston, Texas! It has partnered with the Strategic Growth Alliance 366 and its network of partners to strengthen its operation and success rate. The turn of the new year will has promising projections and the operation has more than tripled in the past 3 quarters due to David Johnson's leadership.
Our goal for 2022 is sustainability. We need more funding to maintain operation.
