Nonprofit Case Studies

"The organization achieved its fundraising and ambitious capital improvement goals thanks to Bonnie's leadership. Her involvement with completing the accreditation application, developing program grant proposals, and securing support from new funding sources was greatly appreciated. She took on the supervision of additional staff and has demonstrated this is an area where she is highly effective."

"During my time working with Bonnie, I experienced an exemplary employee. Bonnie was viewed as a leader by her peers and volunteers. Other employees sought Bonnie’s advice for their projects. Bonnie was always open to brainstorming about any project and often led the way for improvements to processes and allowed others to see a different point of view."

"As far as [Bonnie's] ability to organize a spectacular and appealing formal Fundraiser Benefit for three hundred guests or a simple cultivation event, she has been the best ... She was terrifically organized and brilliant! She has been extraordinarily hard working and unselfish. At the same time, she has kept the work at a reasonable level by simplifying old ways of doing things and by coming up with innovative ideas which have been very positively received."

Former Board Member & Volunteer

"We invited Bonnie to speak to the [Chesterton-Porter Rotary] club. Her presentation was so dynamic and her style so personable, we invited her to join on the spot. Within months she had taken on a leadership role as Youth Services Director ... including administering college scholarships, organizing our “Student of the Month” award, and supporting our local 'Interact' youth club."

Past President, Chesterton-Porter Rotary Club

"Bonnie is an inspired creator. She always is asking what else is possible, and she commits 110% to any project she undertakes. As a professional, Bonnie understands how not-for-profit organizations work and how to engage and inspire teams of people as they create and commit to their vision. To Bonnie, Mission matters. She is a master at branding and clearly identifying for the public and potential supporters the heart of what an organization is all about."
