Who We Are
The Collaborative Collective exists because nonprofits deserve partners who get it—who understand the stakes, the constraints, and the opportunities facing mission-driven leaders. We’re here to cut through the noise, bring clarity to complex challenges, and help you move your mission forward—without burning out your team or losing your spark.
We believe that real change is possible when you have the right collaborators in your corner.
Why We Do This
We’ve both spent years in the trenches of nonprofit leadership—pursuing big missions with limited resources, making tough calls, and navigating real-world pressures. We know first-hand how much easier, healthier, and more impactful this work can be when leaders have experienced partners beside them.
With the right collaboration, we believe organizations can:
Build stronger, more resilient teams
Avoid costly mistakes and burnout
Make smarter, more efficient use of resources
Fundraise more effectively; with greater clarity & confidence
Retain their best talent and energy for the long haul
We started The Collaborative Collective to offer the kind of support that unlocks this possibility. Our mission is to walk with you—to listen, to challenge, and to help you build the healthy, sustainable organization your mission deserves.
Our Values
Kindness & Humility: People matter most.
Curiosity: We don’t settle for easy answers.
Innovation: Today's problems need tomorrow’s thinking.
Diversity & Inclusion: We prioritize space for every voice.

If you’re looking for a partner who will treat your mission like their own—you’ve found us.
Our Leadership
Working With Us
Every organization is unique. Our role is to listen, challenge, and co-create with you—not to drop in with prepackaged answers. Whether you need strategic planning, fractional leadership, or help building capacity for your next big leap, we walk alongside you every step of the way.
