There’s a quiet frustration that can simmer within passionate nonprofit leaders. They possess a vision, a burning desire to create positive change, yet finding the resources to translate that vision into reality can feel like an insurmountable hurdle. Broad Oaks Consulting steps in to bridge this gap, offering a roadmap for nonprofits to navigate the often-complex world of fundraising and empower them to confidently secure the resources they need to focus on what matters most: making a tangible difference in the world.
Angela Burgess, Broad Oaks Consulting’s President and CEO, speaks to a truth many women leaders encounter: “There’s so much conversation about the wage disparity,” she says, “But when I mentor women, I tell them the reason women make less is that they often don’t ask for it.” This philosophy extends to the nonprofit sector. Just as women undervalue their qualifications, nonprofit leaders can underestimate their own fundraising prowess. Broad Oaks Consulting seeks to instill confidence and skill, reminding leaders that impactful change hinges not just on vision but on the ability to secure the resources to fuel that vision.
It is a relatable picture: the leader brimming with ideas, the organization on the precipice of a breakthrough, yet lacking a clear path forward to secure the funds needed to execute the vision. Broad Oaks Consulting dismantles this barrier by providing a strategic roadmap. They understand that fundraising shouldn’t feel like a haphazard treasure hunt. Their mission is to equip nonprofit leaders with the tools and strategies to map out a sustainable financial future, allowing them to dedicate their energy to the transformative work they were called to do.
