“There have been multiple occasions where SNC has really supported us and guided us as a nonprofit organization. One time, in particular, was when we were preparing to obtain funding from a large donor, and SNC walked us through adequate and impactful communication skills, supported us with budget development, and empowered us to see the larger picture of the situation so that regardless of receiving funding or not, we already accomplished so much.
Having the opportunity to see how passionate Shonet is about the work and uplifting fellow orgs that she feels connected to and confident in. Shonet takes the time to understand your needs as an organization, sees the folx she's working with as whole people and really supports and empowers them in meaningful ways while doing this work. Couldn't recommend SNC enough!”
