I’m Elsa Coughlin, a Certified Nonprofit Professional and nonprofit consultant dedicated to helping mission-driven organizations and their leaders work smarter, communicate more clearly, and stay aligned with their purpose.
With extensive experience in fundraising operations, grant writing, strategic planning, and nonprofit technology, I collaborate with teams to create systems that support real, lasting impact. I support everything from writing competitive grants to strengthening board engagement, designing strategic roadmaps, and improving internal communications.
I meet organizations where they are, listen closely, and develop tailored solutions that reflect their goals and capacity. My approach is grounded in clarity, trust, and a strong belief in the power of community-driven work.
Outside of consulting, I am active in my community, serve on local nonprofit boards, and spend as much time as possible in the mountains with my dog, Boogie.
I am here to help you do your best work in service of the people and places you care about.
I provide hands-on support to nonprofits seeking greater clarity, efficiency, and alignment in their operations and strategy. My services are tailored to meet each organization’s unique needs, with a focus on sustainable solutions that empower teams and strengthen impact.
I offer strategic planning to help organizations set clear priorities and stay focused on their mission. I write compelling, competitive grant proposals and assist with grant strategy to increase funding opportunities. I also support nonprofit boards, helping to improve governance, communication, and engagement.
For teams navigating technology and communications challenges, I streamline internal systems, processes, and tools to make day-to-day work more manageable and effective. Whether you are building something new or need support refining what already exists, I bring practical experience and a collaborative mindset to every project.
My goal is to make your work easier, more impactful, and deeply connected to the communities you serve.
