Doing good work is hard work

Let’s be real: nonprofit work can feel like a terrifying hamster wheel ride into oblivion.

Burnout? Check. Overnight funding loss? Check. Problematic sense of urgency? Check.

We all know why we stay: the mission. I see you. I’ve been there, too.

But, remember, the mission is just your starting point, a launchpad. You get to choose how to move it forward, and I’m here to help.

I’ve been an on-the-ground fundraiser. I’ve worked with ‘start-up’ orgs and those with 100+ years’ history. I’ve witnessed nonprofits implode and others thrive.

Whatever challenges you’re facing, we’ll tackle them together, with the goal of keeping that mission alive well into the future (and not just at the close of this fiscal year).
