We’re not your average consulting firm.

We work exclusively with nonprofits, so we understand the challenges you face, from limited capacity to board expectations to the pressure to prove results. Unlike one-size-fits-all solutions, we collaborate with you to create custom, realistic plans that actually work in the real world.

Our work blends:

  • Sector-specific expertise

  • Data-informed insights

  • Strategic thinking

  • A whole lot of heart

Tailored consulting for non-profits to enhance impact, navigate change, and measure success effectively.

Planning Help

We provide clarity with a purpose. Our planning process is collaborative to clarify goals, strengthen programs, and achieve measurable outcomes for your organization. Board and staff engagement throughout the process ensures shared ownership and lasting results.

We create strategic plans that are actionable, realistic, and aligned with your mission. Through scenario and operational planning, we help your organization prepare for uncertainty and position itself for long-term success. Our work doesn’t end with a plan on paper. We support implementation so your team can move from vision to execution with confidence.

Research & Evaluation Insights

We assist with informed decision-making through evidence-based research and evaluation to demonstrate your non-profit's impact effectively. Good decisions start with good information. Our research services help nonprofits gather the insights they need to move forward with confidence. Whether you’re exploring community needs, evaluating your current environment, or preparing for a new initiative, we collect and synthesize the data that matters most.

Using a mix of methods, we deliver rigorous yet practical research that translates complex findings into clear, usable insights that inform both strategy and implementation. The result? Decisions grounded in evidence, not guesswork.

Moreover, Evaluation is more than accountability; rather, it’s a roadmap for learning and improvement. We design and conduct evaluations that measure progress, uncover insights, and guide next steps. By connecting findings to implementation, we help your organization make data-driven adjustments that strengthen programs and enhance outcomes. Our approach ensures that evaluation isn’t the end of the story. We help ensure that it’s part of an ongoing cycle of learning and action.

Whether you're launching a new program, restructuring your team, or navigating big shifts in strategy, I help organizations move forward with clarity and confidence. Bringing new ideas to life takes more than inspiration; it takes structure, insight, and follow-through. We guide nonprofits through the full process of launching new programs or initiatives, from research and strategy to implementation and refinement. Our approach blends thoughtful planning with hands-on support, helping your team turn promising ideas into sustainable, mission-aligned impact.

I I worked with Sheryl on a number of high-profile projects in St. Louis, such as the Regional Citizen's Network and Initiative for a Metropolitan Community. Ultimately, we selected Sheryl and her firm, Strategic Impact, to assist us with some strategic planning projects with community housing organizations and funded by community reinvestment act funds. Sheryl was organized, efficient, and respectful of the cultures of the organizations she worked with. She stepped in to successfully help keep the projects on schedule and budget. I recommend her work and her firm. schedule and budget. I recommend her work and her firm.
