Why I Started
Consulting
After a decade working for a non-profit world and a decade in the corporate world, I have realized these are two different groups that struggle to understand one another. Blackbird Consulting Group is built to bring value and impact to your contributions. Our process is designed to provide simplicity for Individuals, Organizations, Boards, Executives or Employee-driven gifts while clarifying your desired impacts and outcomes. Most importantly, we provide surety that all contribution compliance requirements are met and all recipients have the integrity you expect.
Laura E. Jones
I spent over a decade guiding a small non-profit in rural Ohio from start-up to fundamental element of the community. Prior to that I spent a decade in the Corporate world. It did not take long for me to realize that there is a huge gap between non-profits seeking donors and individuals and corporations seeking to make an impact in their communities. Ironically, there are hundreds of websites, programs, and people to "make you a better fundraiser" and advise the every element of fundraising. Yet assistance to donors is almost nonexistent.
This is Blackbird. It is a personal mission. Our goal is to teach you to be a successful and savvy donor in order to impact your passions. There are better ways to give and we want to teach you. We advise donors. We are 100% confidential. We are just as happy when the donation line says "Anonymous" so long as a the goal was achieved.
While we love our clients, our goals is not to be an impediment to your giving. We will be here as long as you need us, but our goal is not to reduce impact. Let us get you going and then we will get out of your way. Besides others need help too.

With Love,
