NONPROFIT Coaching & CONSULTING

Stephanie is an experienced nonprofit founder and executive with more than 14 years of experience in the field. Her experiences at the UP Center of Champaign County, Brave Space Alliance, and Brightpoint (FKA Children’s Home & Aid) have allowed her to work in all areas of organizational management and hold executive roles in Development, Operations, and Policy. Stephanie is available for consulting in the areas of fundraising, communications, operations, policy, and strategy. She is the perfect partner for organizations exiting their startup phase or preparing to experience significant and/or rapid growth.

She particularly enjoys working with foundations and small, community-based organizations with budgets lower than $3 million. Stephanie is not a typical consultant, who charges big upfront and delivers little long-term. She will work directly with your Board and executive leadership team to craft sustainable solutions that will aid your organization far beyond the conclusion of your work with her.

Working with Founders and Boards

As a two-time nonprofit founder and an experienced organizational rebooter, Stephanie knows the unique challenges facing founders who are looking to step back, and the fraught moment Boards face when they need to ask a founding leader to step back or shift into a new role. These moments are crucial for every nonprofit, and navigating them with sensitivity, intention, and strategy is key to ensure leadership continuity and organizational stability. Stephanie offers special services to organizations who are facing these moments and require outside assistance to navigate the transition and plan for the future.
