Working with Your Board
Nonprofit or Not!
Board governance got you spinning?
Volunteer boards are amazing—and amazingly complex. Getting everyone aligned on governance, engaged in their fiduciary responsibilities (including fundraising—yep, we're going there), and rallying around a strategic plan that actually moves the needle? That takes some intentional navigation.
I can support you from the sidelines or jump in to lead and facilitate directly—whatever makes sense for where you're at. The goal? Transforming your board into the solid, strategic support structure they genuinely want to be for your mission.
Let's chart that course together.
Strategic, Business or Development Planning
Grow Your Business and Your Impact
Your mission is your North Star—but you need a solid flight plan to get there.
​
Balancing the 'Why' with the 'How' isn't easy. What should your organization be doing to stay relevant and competitive? Which strategies will actually move you toward your goals instead of just keeping you busy?
I'll work with you and your board to examine your options, understand the real implications of each choice, and develop a strategic or business plan grounded in both your values and the practical realities of making your mission sustainable.
Think of it as debugging your strategy with someone who gets both the heart and the spreadsheet side of the equation.

Fundraising and Resource Development
Grow Your Mission and Your Impact
Wondering how to get your Board actually excited about fundraising? (Or at least willing to do it?)
​
And here's the thing about sustainability: fundraising isn't a solo sport. Whether it's helping your board understand their fiduciary role in resource development or coaching your staff to step into fundraising leadership with confidence, I'll work with your whole team to build a culture where everyone owns the mission's financial health. Because when your board and your staff are equipped and engaged? That's when the real momentum happens.
