HELLO!
Welcome to CLB Strategies, a woman (and mom!)-owned consulting company led by savvy, experienced, forward-thinking subject matter specialists ready to support you or your organization.
We provide strategic, individualized guidance and empowerment for activists, organizers, leaders, nonprofits, government agencies, and beyond.
While our niche is the nonprofit, social services, and mental health field, we're up to the challenge of engaging in new spaces, thanks to the versatility of our consultants.
We are excited you are here!
Consulting For Good
Providing experienced, strategic, goal-oriented nonprofit consulting is what we do.
Building healthier leaders, organizations, and communities is why we do it.
CLB Strategies' mission is to support, guide, and empower leaders, advocates, nonprofits, coalitions, and organizations to positively impact the individuals and communities they serve.
We are subject matter specialists who focus on creating positive change and, as they say: make lemonade out of lemons. We know that founding, managing, growing, and sustaining any community-based effort can be all-encompassing. It can feel like building a plane while flying it, or at times like you've hit a brick wall. There are seasons you'll take one step forward followed by two steps back, and others where you're confident with progress.
No matter what you or your organization face, data-driven paths exist to address the situation. We are here to help you do that, and we know how challenging it can be.
