About Nonprofit.ist
It started with a phone call from a stressed out executive director. She was looking for help with a merger and wondered if I could connect her with the right person.
Three great consultants sprang to mind.
Then she added the important qualification: they had to have experience with mergers between land trusts.
I was stumped. I knew dozens of qualified folks - but nobody with that exact skill set.
Later that week, I was sitting around a table with a dozen nonprofit consultants. We meet once a month to connect and talk about our challenges.
And we kept having the same conversation: how do we find more of the work that we want to do?
Suddenly, a lightbulb went off.
Could I create something that would:
Connect nonprofits to the right expert?
AND help experts find the right work?
Yes! As a long-time organizer with a love of technology, I knew I could build such a thing.
And after 9 years of consulting and more than 20 in the nonprofit world, I had a hunch that I could make it work for the sector.
In late 2018, Nonprofit.ist was launched.
