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

I can help.

My biggest joy in life is to help others succeed.

—Wendy Burtner

Nonprofit leadership is lonely.

“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!”
