We work with small and mid-sized nonprofit arts and culture organizations — including performing arts companies, museums, festivals, botanic gardens, historic sites, and service organizations — as well as foundations and intermediaries committed to strengthening the arts ecosystem. 

These services are especially well-suited to organizations navigating growth, leadership transition, or a desire to move from short-term survival to long-term sustainability.

What We Offer

  • Together, we will develop strategic plans that are practical, realistic, and actionable, and rooted in your mission and values. Engagements include organizational assessment, goal-setting, financial projections, and detailed implementation plans that boards and staff can actually execute.

    Ideal for: organizations at moments of growth, transition, or reassessment.

  • Strong organizations require strong boards. We help boards clarify their roles, strengthen governance structures, recruit and engage trustees, and build cultures of accountability, fundraising, and equity.

    Ideal for: boards seeking greater impact, clarity, and engagement.

  • Rather than chasing short-term revenue, we help organizations build fundraising infrastructure and processes that a lean team can manage. The goal is long-term sustainability that is right-sized to your organization — including major giving strategies, board fundraising activation, event evaluation, and donor stewardship processes.

    Ideal for: organizations ready to move beyond survival fundraising.

  • For organizations that need senior leadership but cannot support a full-time hire, I offer short- and medium-term executive support, including interim Executive Director and fractional Managing Director roles. Fractional support offers experienced operational and strategic leadership on a fractional basis to support a growing, founder-led arts organization. The goal is to translate artistic vision into clear plans, systems, and structures that support sustainable growth.

    Ideal for: Start-up and grassroots organizations needing experienced executive leadership and thought partnership to work alongside founders.

  • We design and facilitate workshops and cohort-based training programs for arts leaders and trustees. These can be designed in partnership with service organizations and foundations to support specific cohort groups within their spheres, or with individual organizations to support professional development of the staff and board.

    Ideal for: Service agencies, foundations, and organizations seeking focused guidance for a specific project or transitional moment.

  • Early-stage organizations are both exhilarating and fragile, and often driven by passionate visionaries. We work with start-up and grassroots organizations in their early days to help with mission clarification and articulation, development of initial administrative infrastructure, and establishing best practices early to help bold founders share the workload with their dedicated volunteers.

    Ideal for: Emerging organizations seeking clarity and focus to shape their mission and activate goals.
