Strategy to Grow & Scale Your Nonprofit


TENACIOUS is for nonprofit founders ready to scale their impact, but who get lost in the weeds instead of leading the way.

In nonprofit leadership, the biggest block isn't passion. ⁠It's strategic structure.⁠

With TENACIOUS 1:1 Mentoring, we’ll shape your next phase with clear strategy and structured support.

In Tenacious, we focus on:
  • Surrounding yourself with people that you can delegate to
  • Reaching more people with your mission and message
  • Building a board of badass "yes" people who can sell, fundraise, and lead alongside you
  • Being the face, finding the funding, and maybe even reaching Inbox Zero
  • Not having to choose between caring deeply and taking care of yourself

Sometimes it feels like your nonprofit only functions when you’re functioning.⁠ 

When you’re overwhelmed and your inbox is piling up, your team members are waiting on you to provide initiative and give instructions, and reports are waiting for your feedback, half-finished in Google Drive; nothing gets finished.

TENACIOUS is for nonprofit founders ready to scale their impact, but who get lost in the weeds instead of leading the way.

In nonprofit leadership,
the biggest block isn't passion.
It's strategic structure.⁠

Sometimes it feels like your nonprofit only functions when you’re functioning.⁠ 

When you’re overwhelmed and your inbox is piling up, your team members are waiting on you to provide initiative and give instructions, and reports are waiting for your feedback half-finished in Google Drive—nothing gets done. 

You’re ready to scale, secure funding (or additional funding), and expand your impact in your community. 

But if you’re like many of my Tenacious clients, you’re also:

  • Staying in a “safe” job that drains your energy
  • Saying yes to travel and conferences so often that your family feels like you care more about “those people” than you care about them
  • Hosting the same events on rinse and repeat, with diminishing returns
  • Managing well-meaning volunteers who either flake or require you to actively manage them (and you’re too nice to let them go!)

You have big, beautiful ideas, and with everything else going on you haven’t quite worked out how to make them happen.

When you’re running on empty, it’s impossible to keep your eye on your big vision. You have ideas everywhere, on sticky notes, in your Google Drive, but there’s no path mapped out and no time to make one.

So before we dive into strategy, we slow down. We talk about your vision. Why you started this nonprofit, who you’re helping, and the impact you’re having on their lives.

Speaking of working out… when is the last time you made time for that?!
Somebody always needs something.

Working with Lisa is nothing short of amazing. She’s not just a brilliant strategist—she has this rare ability to take the jumble of ideas in my head and make them crystal clear. She pushed me out of my comfort zone while shining a light on strengths I didn’t even see in myself. Lisa is fun, smart as hell, and exactly the kind of person you want in your corner.

It’s time to lead & grow it like you mean it.

You’ve built your business in the margins—between drop-offs, Zoom calls, and nap-time brainstorms.

But you’re past “just making it work.”

You’re ready to scale with structure, clarity, and power.

  • Has clients and momentum—but no clear growth plan
  • Feels stuck circling the same decisions
  • Is done guessing her way to the next level
  • Craves income, breathing room, and bold strategy

You're not starting from scratch.
You're scaling with intention.

Lisa's coaching was transformative for my struggling business. Her actionable advice and insightful questions helped me balance work with family life. Lisa's guidance provided the confidence and clarity I needed, and the systems she helped implement improved my efficiency dramatically. In Lisa's supportive presence, I felt understood and safe. I'm amazed by my progress and forever grateful for her help.

Lisa helped me understand my new role in this organization and gave me more confidence in what I’m doing for our team and the community. Our goals and plans were laid out so clearly that I was ready to get back in the office and start tackling projects. I’m already looking forward to our next strategic planning.

Lisa helped me establish a consistent writing practice and with her guidance, I'm now publishing my first book of poetry. She helped me release the fears holding me back and gave me practical strategies to honor my creative gifts. Working with Lisa isn’t just about getting organized, it’s about becoming empowered to share your work with the world.

Working with Lisa has been amazing! She is a wonderful thought partner who gracefully and patiently helps you work through problems. Lisa has helped my organization build a solid marketing and fundraising plan. I don’t know what I would do without her. You need her! Get you a Lisa!
