Helping Nonprofits Build Stronger, Healthier Cultures

Nonprofits exist to serve communities, but what happens when the internal culture of a nonprofit is struggling? Miscommunication, leadership misalignment, and workplace tension can derail even the most mission-driven organization.

I know this because I’ve lived it – across dozens of missions.

For nearly 15 years, I’ve worked in nonprofit communications, leadership and governance. I’ve seen brilliant, passionate teams struggle – not because they lacked commitment to the mission, but because internal communication was broken, expectations were unclear, and leadership wasn’t aligned.

That’s why I started Nontoxic Nonprofits. My mission is simple: to help nonprofits eliminate the communication breakdowns and cultural barriers that keep them from thriving.

My Approach

Observation First, Strategy Second

Nonprofits often misdiagnose their own challenges. That’s why I don’t jump straight into solutions – instead, I observe your organization’s culture for 2–4 weeks before developing a strategy that actually works.

Practical, Actionable Solutions

I don’t believe in vague advice. I work with leadership, staff, and teams to develop clear, structured communication strategies that reduce friction, boost morale, and drive mission success.

A Mission-First Mindset

A thriving nonprofit culture doesn’t mean ignoring hard truths – it means building trust, setting clear expectations, and ensuring that every staff member feels valued and heard. When communication is strong, the mission can thrive.
