Revenue diversification
New-funder strategy when the base is too concentrated or must grow.
Nonprofit Advisory
Advisory for nonprofits at an inflection point.
Strategy, fundraising, board, and leadership, held by one advisor who has sat in your chair. Bounded engagements that build capacity and hand it back.
The moment
The hardest moments are the ones that decide what comes next.
A campaign on the horizon. A leader departing. A funding base that has to change. A board that hasn't kept pace with the organization it governs. These are the turns where good organizations either level up or lose ground, and they rarely come with a spare hand to guide them. Marque is built for exactly these moments.

Why Marque
One advisor. Connected work. A defined end.
01
One advisor, not four vendors
The full arc of strategy, fundraising, board, and leadership, held by one person who knows your organization, so nothing falls between the seams.
02
Diagnosis before prescription
Every engagement starts with an honest read of where you are and the one or two moves that matter most. If you don't need me, I say so.
03
A fixed scope and a defined end
A number you can put in front of a board and a funder, and capacity that stays after I am gone. Success is you needing me less, not more.
What I do
Enter through whichever door fits.
Financial scenario planning
Models that show the organization through funding shocks.
Board & governance
Composition, recruitment, and the governance a funder expects.
Strategic reset
An 18 to 24 month direction the board can staff and fund.
Evidence & impact
The case a new funder will actually back.
Partnership & merger
Clear-eyed counsel when combination is the smart move.
Succession & interim
Steady hands before and through a leadership transition.
Campaign counsel
Feasibility and counsel for the organizations on offense.

I've sat on both sides of this table.
As a nonprofit chief executive, I built boards, led fundraising and campaigns, and owned the metrics that proved what worked, including growing annual revenue from a hundred thousand dollars to two million.
And I've been the executive on the other side, hiring consultants and learning firsthand which ones strengthen an organization and which ones just bill it.
That vantage is the standard I hold my own work to.
