Who We Are

Four Decades of Specialized Nonprofit & Board Room Expertise

Nonprofit executive search: we’re driven by your mission.

With more than  forty years’ experience working with boards and nonprofits, we recruit leaders to charitable, community and faith-based organizations who are doing work that matters.

We help communities by recruiting mission-driven leaders who are passionate about offering equitable opportunities to every member of the community. Our clients typically operate in line with the principal of subsidiarity: a community is best served when decisions are made by the smallest, lowest, or least centralized competent authority — rather than by a higher and more distant one — whenever possible. We believe in the power of people and organizations — large and small, sacred and secular, public and private — coming together to work for the good of the community.

Empowering Nonprofits

We partner with mission driven nonprofits in communities across the country. We tailor our approach for each organization, customizing a unique strategy for each search to ensure we identify, engage and assess the leadership that best fits your unique mission.

Building Nonprofit Careers

As seasoned executive search consultants, we understand how important it is that an organization’s culture and mission align with a leader’s personal values and professional aspirations. We recognize you’re investing 100% of your career capital. We work with you to ensure the opportunity you’re considering is one in which you can thrive and make a meaningful impact.

Meet who you’ll be working with.

Our hands on approach means we don’t rely on interns to do our research or inexperienced recruiters to initiate contact with an executive. We bring a wealth of experience and a personal touch to every search: we do this work because we’re advisors, partners, and advocates for the lives, causes and communities we serve.
