Nonprofit leaders, you're guiding your organization to its greatest potential.
(And you'd rather get there faster and with fewer obstacles.)
​I help leaders like you by (1) aligning your network with the right message at the right time​, so that you can (2) spend less time overcoming roadblocks and more time driving your mission forward.
Hi, I'm Angela Marino.
I think the most underrated skill for nonprofit CEOs is buy-in.
I’ve yet to see a job description that lists it, but the ability to gain buy-in is critical to every aspect of nonprofit leadership.
And yet it's not taught and it's not always intuitive, especially given the unique set of challenges nonprofit CEOs face, including:
1) managing a wide array of stakeholders, each with their own needs, expectations, and power dynamics, while also
2) selling not a tangible product, but the idea of a better world.
As a nonprofit leader, you must inspire people to part with their hard-earned dollars for a cause and run a sophisticated organization impacting real lives, all while confronting outdated societal beliefs about the sector.
I spent 18 years inside a nonprofit, working alongside and advising visionary CEOs focused on creating transformative change.
Here’s what I learned: vision alone is not enough. Success depends on the hard work of gaining buy-in through building relationships, earning trust, delivering the right messages at the right time, and fostering true alignment around a shared vision.

As Chief Marketing and Major Gifts Officer, I lived this. Through lots of trial and error, I learned how to build
buy-in for my own ideas and those of others. These lessons shaped my career, enabling me to help the organization drive change on both local and national levels.
​Now, I help nonprofit CEOs gain buy-in for their organization's next big move.
My approach goes well beyond "good communications." I partner with you to bring your organization together under a shared vision, turning big ideas into transformative change.
​
You have big things to accomplish. The cause you serve is too important for anything less.
​
I can help you get there.
What happens when your
organization is aligned around a shared vision?
Leaders go from Concerned to Confident
"I don't know if we can do this."
transforms into
"I understand where we're headed and my role in getting us there."
​
Teams go from Overwhelmed to Empowered
"I can't possibly take this on without burning out."
becomes
"I have what I need to be fully invested in our organization as we evolve."
​
Stakeholders go from Confused to Inspired
"Why are they doing this?"
shifts to
"I can't wait to be a part of it!"
Keep In Touch.
