In all respects, Ed did an outstanding job. He is well organized, responsive and gets things done. He is an excellent listener and this enables him to grasp the client’s needs, ask good questions and respond accordingly.”

“Most importantly, Ed is a man of high integrity and excellent judgment. It has been a great pleasure to work with him.”

— Board Chair

Every nonprofit hits an inflection point.

A leadership transition, a stalled fundraising campaign, a board transitioning from a working board to a governing/fundraising board, or a changing external environment.

Navigating those transitions by definition takes you into uncharted territory. Teams are often not aligned, and the organization may reactively respond to events in way that causes more risk, costs, and a cycle of further change.

Spitzberg Advisors helps you chart and navigate your course. With a sound plan, leadership alignment on direction, and clear resources for execution, your organization can instead seize opportunity - leading to stability, sustainability, and growth to advance your mission. How do we help you achieve your goals?
