Every organization will face a crisis. How you respond determines what happens next.
Whether it’s financial strain, staff conflict, community backlash, or a natural disaster — I help nonprofits move from crisis to clarity with steady leadership and trusted communication strategies.
Crises Come in Many Forms
No two crises look alike, but all can shake the foundation of your mission.
You may be facing:
Financial crisis – deficits, loss of funding, or donor panic
Personnel crisis – resignations, misconduct, or terminations
Organizational crisis – internal conflict, leadership turnover, or reputation risk
Natural crisis – weather, fire, or disaster damage
Confrontation crisis – public disputes, protests, or misinformation
Workplace violence or harm – incidents involving staff or those you serve
Whatever it looks like, I help you steady the ship, rebuild trust, and communicate with integrity.
What I bring to your table…
I’ve walked with organizations through:
Community misunderstandings and public misinformation
Staff transitions and difficult terminations
Financial deficits, restructuring, and weather disasters
Leadership changes and organizational name changes
Public protests and city council disputes
I know the weight you’re carrying — and how urgent it feels to get it right. My goal is to help you calm the storm, rebuild trust, and move forward stronger.
Foundational Principles That Guide Every Response
When a crisis hits, I help you stay grounded in what matters most:
✔ Donor First. Staff First. Client First.
✔ Stay in the light — transparency builds trust.
✔ Let policy and consistency guide your decisions.
✔ Listen more than you complain.
✔ Say what you can instead of focusing on what you can’t.
✔ Own mistakes — and show how you’ll prevent them next time.
✔ Build trust long before the crisis, so it carries you through.
How I Help You Navigate the Moment
Crisis doesn’t wait — and neither will I.
Together, we will:
Identify the type and scope of the crisis.
Map every stakeholder: staff, donors, clients, partners, and the community.
Establish consistent, transparent communication across every channel.
Create a clear fact sheet and approved messaging to avoid confusion.
Anticipate questions, and prepare unified responses for staff and the public.
Determine your spokesperson and reporting structure (“up, not out”).
Respond with empathy — even when it’s hard.
Follow up with gratitude and reflection once recovery begins.
From Chaos to Clarity
Crisis management isn’t just damage control — it’s relationship repair.
We’ll work toward:
Stability: protecting your people, reputation, and finances.
Transparency: keeping your community informed without oversharing.
Grace: hearing hurt voices and responding with empathy.
Growth: transforming lessons learned into better systems, policies, and communication for the future.
When done right, a crisis becomes a catalyst for trust.
