Nonprofit Consultants
At the St. Croix Valley Foundation, we understand the challenges nonprofits face in today’s environment. That’s why we’re proud to highlight a group of experienced consultants who offer support in areas like board development, fundraising, strategic planning, capacity building, and volunteer engagement.
These trusted professionals have graciously agreed to be listed as a resource for nonprofits in our region. Many are willing to provide services on a pro-bono or low-bono basis, and all bring valuable insight into what it takes to lead, grow, and sustain mission-driven work.
We're grateful to these consultants for their time and generosity—and to the nonprofit leaders who strengthen our communities every day.
Please reach out to them directly using the contact information provided. If you're a consultant interested in being included, contact Angie Pilgrim, our Vice President of Community Impact, here.
