“Laurie was absolutely amazing. Our organization was facing a number of critical decisions that affected our future growth and sustainability, and her expertise was exactly what we needed. Laurie spent considerable time with our top-level leaders, guiding us through a comprehensive SWOT analysis and then helping us outline the next steps for our organization. Her questions were probing and insightful, often revealing underlying issues we hadn't fully considered. Laurie's ability to break down problems into manageable parts made the entire process very enjoyable and palatable, even when we discovered things that we didn't like.
Beyond her consulting skills, Laurie's experience and wisdom were apparent through her strategic recommendations. She provided an action plan and practical advice tailored to our organization's needs. Laurie's approach was not only professional but also relational.
Laurie exceeded our expectations throughout the whole process. Her guidance has set us on a clear path toward achieving our goals, and we are grateful for her contributions to our success. We highly recommend her to any organization seeking thoughtful, expert advice in navigating critical decisions and planning for the future.”
“Laurie and team were amazing. They asked great questions and skillfully peeled back the layers of our organization in order to discover untapped assets and areas that needed priority attention. Their analysis was spot on and gave us ideas on how to improve how our organization functions. We highly recommend Laurie, Gunnar, and the whole GIFT Nonprofit Strategies team to any nonprofit who wants to grow and improve.”
“Laurie is a phenomenal strategic mind who can take any business goal, initiative, or problem and find a creative solution. She brings solutions for all budgets, scenarios, and situations. Her diverse background makes her a valuable asset to ventures of any size.”
In 2019, we were called to start a new ministry working in Uganda. Even though I had 10 years experience working in another Christian nonprofit, I now found myself in a role that I didn’t really understand and was not fully prepared to execute. Then, Laurie came alongside and helped me to better navigate the world of fundraising and donor engagement. Her wisdom and guidance has helped Good Gaali to more than double our fundraising in the last two years. I truly appreciate her guidance and experience and would recommend her team to anyone looking to grow and improve their organization.
Brad Harrison Founder & Executive Director, Good Gaali
"I took on the role of executive director in 2020 when the founder/ED of 15 years retired. GIFT Nonprofit Strategies, and Laurie in particular have been an amazing resource as I have stepped into this role. She and her staff have helped us with grant writing as well as targeted campaign ideas. Her creative and strategic mind work together to not only come up with amazing out of the box ideas, but ideas that can be easily implemented and provide measurable results. I can’t recommend the team at GIFT Nonprofit Strategies highly enough.”
