Meet Margie.

Margie DeVine has spent her career working alongside nonprofits — helping them plan thoughtfully, raise money strategically, and grow in ways that actually fit who they are.

She works with leaders and teams who are trying to get clearer on where they're headed, strengthen their culture from the inside out, and build the kind of capacity that lasts. Her approach is practical and collaborative. She asks good questions, cuts through the noise, and helps organizations focus on what's most important right now.

Nonprofits across the Midwest turn to Margie because she calls it like she sees it, stays in the work alongside them, and never loses sight of the people and purpose behind the mission.

Spring is here!

There is something about this time of year in Northern Michigan that feels like a collective exhale. The landscape hasn't quite caught up yet — but you can feel the shift. In the light, in the people, and somewhere in your heart if you pay attention.

Spring has always felt like a natural time for nonprofits to take stock. The first quarter is behind you, and there's still time to adjust, refocus, and make the rest of the year count. I find myself energized by that — by organizations that are willing to look honestly at where they are and think carefully about where they want to go.

If you're heading into spring with a fundraising challenge, a leadership question, or just something you've been meaning to think through with a fresh set of eyes, I'd love to talk.
