Are you ready to launch your nonprofit?

Starting a nonprofit can feel overwhelming and scary. But it doesn't have to.
Not if you have a blueprint and a guide.

As a founder myself, I've been where you are. And I've helped founders all over the country start and build organizations that change communities and lives.

I'd be honored to work with you too.

The Launch Lab will help you launch the right way, saving you years of
painful and expensive trial and error.

"When I first started I had just an idea but no plan. Now I have my first board and I've raised my first $70K. It is so detailed and provided me with clear steps on how to start my organization. This experience changed my perception of what it means to run a nonprofit. It opened me up to how much I can really do."
-- Nayla

I no longer feel a deep pain in my chest when I think about or talk to my board members. I can breathe. I have more confidence. Brooke helped me realize that I am enough. I can stand in my power.

-- Robyne

"Brooke has an incredible capacity to be nurturing, inspiring, and encouraging. The entire team was uplifted by our sessions with her. I was especially amazed by the effectiveness of her process, and what it enabled us to accomplish. Her guidance will have a lasting positive impact on our organization for years to come."

A bit about me...

Hi! I'm Brooke.

If I had a personal manifesto, it would be about social justice and creating impact... about getting to the root of things, and about building strong foundations to support transformational work... it would be about the beauty of translating the chaos of vision into the order of a plan.

I think we all have a purpose, and mine is to help mission-driven people create and lead institutions that change the world.

If you’re driven to try to build something that will bring about the change you want to see in the world, then I’m driven to help you.  

I've spent the past 20 years working as a nonprofit founder, leader, social entrepreneur, and lawyer at social change organizations throughout the country. I've built and scaled million-dollar organizations from the ground-up, sat on and Chaired the boards of both start-up organizations and multi-million dollar non-profits, and helped over a hundred nonprofit leaders design the strategies and systems they need to reach their first $1M in budget and impact.

I'm excited to work with you.

Brooke

Let's get you ready to launch!
