Starting a nonprofit is about more than just paperwork — it’s about setting the tone for everything that follows. I walk you through each step of the state and IRS formation process, helping you understand what’s required, avoid common pitfalls, and ensure your filings reflect your mission clearly and accurately.

Your mission and vision aren’t just statements — they’re your compass. Through strategic coaching and thoughtful reflection, I help you craft language that resonates with funders, partners, and your community — language that communicates who you are and why your work matters.

Grants can fund your vision — or drain your energy. I help you find the right opportunities, craft compelling proposals, and build internal systems to manage reporting, deadlines, and data — so you can focus on the work, not just the writing.

A strong board and clear bylaws create the container for healthy decision-making, collaboration, and growth. I help you establish a functional board structure and co-create bylaws that are compliant, readable, and tailored to your organization’s culture and goals — not just copied from a template.

The first year of a nonprofit sets the tone for everything to come. I support you in developing realistic, mission-aligned programs and a funding strategy that reflects your capacity, community, and goals — with an eye toward sustainability from the very beginning.

Whether you’re aligning your team, planning for the future, or navigating change, I offer skilled facilitation to help you name your priorities, surface your strengths, and co-create a shared path forward. Sessions are customized, participatory, and grounded in your values.
