FOR GOOD 

Modern Architectural Structure

Hi, I'm Jonathan

I’m a strategist, builder, and convener who helps funders and nonprofits turn big ideas into real impact.

 

For more than two decades, I’ve worked across philanthropy, education, and social justice organizations — designing initiatives, building partnerships, and helping organizations grow their capacity to make lasting change.
 

I approach every project with creativity, curiosity, and clarity.  My role is to help build the systems and strategies that make bold ambitions achievable.

What Can I Help You Build?

  • From concept to launch, I help design, plan, and scale initiatives that move ideas from vision to implementation.

  • I provide backbone support, design organizational and governance structures, and facilitate partnerships so complex efforts stay aligned and effective.

  • I work with executive directors, boards, and teams to develop and implement development strategies, craft compelling materials, and strengthen donor relationships.

  • I partner with individual donors and foundations to craft giving strategies and connect their resources to efforts that align their giving with their values and the difference they aspire to make.

  • Whether for strategy sessions, board retreats, or cross-sector convenings, I create fun, engaging, and productive spaces to foster deep learning and help teams move from ideation to action.
