We serve mission-focused nonprofits.

Change at the top doesn’t have to create chaos.

Leadership transitions in nonprofit organizations come with a different kind of weight. You’re stewarding a mission, a team, and often the legacy of a founder or long-tenured director. Whether the shift is years away or already in motion, the goal is the same: to move forward without unraveling the culture or losing momentum.

We serve Christian nonprofits of all sizes and focus areas - from local outreach ministries to national networks—helping boards and executive teams plan and walk through leadership transitions with clarity and care.

What you’re navigating…

  • A beloved executive director is preparing to retire

  • A co-founder is ready to step away, but the future feels unclear

  • You’re considering restructuring roles or releasing staff

  • You want to avoid board misalignment or donor anxiety

  • You need help caring for the person while protecting the mission

These are not just HR challenges. They’re leadership moments, and they shape your future culture.

We guide nonprofits through two types of transitions:

Insights on leading through change

While we keep our client work confidential, our blog and podcast explore the challenges leaders face when it’s time for change. Here are a few episodes you might find helpful…

Let’s start a conversation

No pressure. No pitch. Just a confidential call with someone who understands ministry leadership and has been where you are.

How ready is your organization for change?

This 3-minute audit could change your next board meeting, staff meeting, or 1-on-1.

Most organizations wait too long to talk about succession, and then scramble when a transition hits. This audit gives you 10 questions every leader and board should be asking now.

It’s short, practical, and designed to help you take a next step, whether your transition is years away or already underway.
