Change Matters clients include national, international, and community-based nonprofit organizations.
Most of our clients work in the arts or progressive social change, and many use entrepreneurial or social venture strategies.
Executive directors and boards who work with us want to take their fundraising or growth strategy to the next level.
Organizations in startup, turnaround, and significant growth phases turn to us for coaching and technical assistance. Membership
associations, management support organizations, and funders hire us to provide training for their members and grantees.
