Balancing the big picture with the day-to-day reality of running a nonprofit is both art and science.

I can help.

Let’s Talk

My biggest joy in life is to help others succeed.

As a nonprofit leader, your job is to ensure that your organization

  • has a shared vision for the future, 
  • is building the capacity needed for maximum impact, and 
  • can survive transitions, sector and economic uncertainties—even a pandemic

I was beyond lucky to get the chance to work closely with Wendy for several months. She is a spectacular, hands-on advisor who helped me understand and work through the tiniest of details to big picture planning. Her experience and familiarity with the nonprofit world is so valuable—every issue I brought to her was answered with a true understanding of the field and my organization’s place in it. I highly recommend working with Wendy!”
