Fawn Pattison Consulting

Change can be good.

Sometimes we find ourselves in rockier waters than anticipated. The solutions that will help your nonprofit organization navigate those rapids successfully are unique to its mission, and its specific set of strengths and assets. As a seasoned nonprofit leader and strategist, I can help you with:

• Interim executive leadership
• Sustainable, strategic communications plans
• Services tailored to your organization’s needs

I’m here to help you turn what may feel like a crisis, into a capacity-building opportunity. Together we will create a path forward that your team can realistically carry out – whether that means some training, some growth, or even some hard decisions about what to leave behind on the next leg of the journey.    

For over twenty years, I have led non-profit organizations advocating successfully for kids, families, public health, and the environment. As both an Executive Director, and Director of Communications, I developed a keen understanding of how a strengths-based strategy creates sustainability in your organization. 

As a patient and flexible partner in your organization’s success, I’m a big fan of gathering data, letting go of what’s not working anymore, and leaning into what gets results. Few things bring me more joy than teaming up to try out new ideas and see what works. 

Advocacy for social change is a long haul. It matters deeply to me that we have fun, treat each other with kindness, and enjoy each other’s company while make the world a better place for our kids.
