Your mission succeeds when your people thrive. Whether it's a board that actually governs instead of micromanages, staff who feel empowered to do their best work, or volunteers who stick around because they feel valued—it all comes down to getting the people part right. Some ways we can work together:
You don’t have to know where to start: It all begins with a call with me.
Leadership development isn’t about adding more to your plate—it’s about creating the space and systems that let you focus on what actually moves the needle. Think of it as having an experienced colleague in your corner, helping you see around corners and make decisions with confidence.
There’s no playbook for how nonprofits operate. Let my over two decades of experience, over 200 satisfied clients, and in-depth industry knowledge guide you, your leadership team, and staff through change and uncertainty. We’ll tackle everything from strategic decision-making to the everyday challenges that keep you up at night.
The wrong hire can set you back months. The right one can transform your organization. I’ll help you identify not just who can do the job, but who will thrive in your unique culture and grow with your mission.
Having the right interim executive director in times of transition is key. Transitions don’t have to mean chaos. As your interim executive director, I keep the mission moving forward while your organization prepares for what’s next.
A great board doesn’t happen by accident. It requires intention, clear expectations, and ongoing development. We’ll work together to recruit the right people, define meaningful roles, and create a board culture where governance happens. After all, what is a board without a purpose?
A well-supported board is a well-functioning board. Set your board up for success with proper financial training, a better understanding of a board’s purpose, and questioning around how the board can best serve the nonprofit.
Volunteers are the backbone of nonprofits. The key to retaining them is quality engagement, and with my volunteer engagement training, I’ll walk you through how to ensure your volunteers stay around for the long term.
You don’t have to know where to start: It all begins with a call with me.
One funding source isn’t enough. Nonprofit leaders looking to create policies and best practices around securing resources for the long term will work with me to analyze their current funding sources, research common industry practices, and craft unique strategies specifically for their organization. You’ll have a fund development plan to guide your fundraising in the long term.
Before you launch a capital campaign, we’ll look at the broad landscape of the community, assess the level of support, and identify the issues you need to address before putting in the hard work.
Big goals require large amounts of funding. Capital Campaigns are multi-faceted with many moving parts that can easily get misplaced when not actively managed.
Effective donor cultivation requires a strong stewardship plan that enhances donor relationships leading to increased giving, engagement, and retention. We revisit the fundamentals, evaluating what has benefited and hindered your organization’s current efforts.
Sponsorships are a significant source of income for many nonprofits. However, determining the cut-off for each sponsorship level and acknowledging large gifts without diminishing the efforts of others can be challenging. I will guide you through various benchmarking methods and how to communicate them to your sponsors effectively.
You don’t have to know where to start: It all begins with a call with me.
This is a great place to start if you are unsure where to begin. Organizations interested in reflecting on their methods, polices, practices, and mission will receive detailed organizational assessments and staff-wide presentations from me, along with multiple one-on-one meetings. Let’s start the self-work.
It is essential for any organization aiming for a lasting impact, but it’s not as simple as creating a list of goals. As your consultant, I’ll support you in discussing where your organization is currently and where you want to take your efforts. This service includes an analysis of your finances, programmatic output, current donor pool, and mission-driven strategy.
It is a conversation most nonprofits want to avoid, but a necessary one to have. Executives retire, or sometimes move on to new opportunities, leaving your organization’s staff open to panic and anxiety if there’s not a proper plan in place. You and I will work together to identify and develop talent to fill these critical roles, then we’ll build a strategy around their professional development and run a trial to determine who should fill the role permanently.
Everyone needs a break sometimes, and that’s one benefit in hiring me to facilitate your next board retreat. I’ll work with you to schedule the day, craft an agenda, and plan group activities focusing on team bonding through challenging, immersive activities. You’ll just have to show up.
