“Most nonprofits don’t struggle from a lack of passion—they struggle from a lack of structure, systems, and sustainable strategy.”

Experience That Goes Deeper
Many nonprofit consultants built their expertise inside large institutions—universities, hospital systems, and national organizations. That experience is real and valuable. But small and mid-sized nonprofits operate in a fundamentally different environment—tighter resources, smaller teams, and challenges that require a different kind of advisor.
​
Lori McCleese brings 25 years of experience building that kind of expertise. As a two-time nonprofit CEO, she has led organizations through the same challenges her clients face today—without a large team or institutional infrastructure to rely on.
