Beth Saunders Associates

Raise more money, recruit & retain more volunteers, and build a highly engaged Board with MapMoveMeasure(TM). 

With a strategy for supporter engagement, you’ll feel more confident in every funding proposal, every major donor conversation, every volunteer recruitment effort, and every board member outreach. 

MapMoveMeasure(™) is a pragmatic approach to creating a strategic supporter engagement framework. It guides you to the right people with the right offer at the right time. We will
🔹 map the outcomes your organization intends to achieve (a simpler more usable theory of change)
and
🔹 create an engagement pyramid (a measurement tool that helps you identify supporters most likely to say ‘yes’)

“I was excited to be more strategic and think outside the box. After working with Beth we have a clearer idea how to develop more relevant opportunities that engage our mentors.” ~Director of Mentor and Community Engagement

If you’re ready to build a highly engaged supporter base passionate about your vision and mission,  message me to schedule a 20-minute intro call.

MapMoveMeasure(TM): Develop Longer-Term Relationships with Supporters --

Our goal is to help your organization run effectively and transition from being task-oriented and heads down to looking up and being mission-focused. We achieve this through engagement strategy supported by a well-designed technology platform.

Over a decade ago, Beth gave up a successful career in finance to launch Beth Saunders Consulting and dedicate herself to helping non-profits further their missions through technology. A lot has happened since then; Beth’s reputation grew and so did her business.

Today, the expanded company is called Beth Saunders Associates. We are a creative and collaborative group of strategists and consultants with deep expertise in business, marketing and technology; and a 100% commitment to bringing engagement strategy and supporting technology to non-profits, co-operative business, and other social mission organizations. Particularly interested in working with nonprofit organizations in the New England and greater Philadelphia areas.

Cradles to Crayons

I served as the Solution Architect and Project Manager for the initial Salesforce.com implementation with the goal of streamlining all operations and communications across the Boston and Philadelphia offices. The system served as a unified platform that helped support the launch of additional locations and online delivery of services to 1,000s of children across the United States. 

Provided strategic coaching for the system Super User and Power User teams for several years until sufficient internal capacity was achieved.

Trusted Advisor

Cradles to Crayons provides, free of charge, low-income and homeless children from birth to pre-teen the basic essentials they need to be safe, warm, ready to learn, and valued. We also set a foundation for lasting change through the meaningful, tangible volunteer opportunities we provide to thousands of youth and adults each year.

Advisory Board Member

Volunteered to work with President and Founder of the Philadelphia chapter to open this office. In August 2007, became part-time Business Manager; main responsibilities included: initial organization development; build office infrastructure; implement all office technology; set up and manage organizational finances.

Business Manager

ACCION USA

Accion is the largest nationwide nonprofit lending network in the United States. We provide fair and flexible loans, connections to business experts, and access to resources and opportunities specifically tailored to each business owner’s unique needs and goals.

Senior Director, Lending Operations my primary accomplishments include:

Making Technology Work for You (not the other way around)

Are you a nonprofit leader who feels stuck despite completing a strategic plan and hiring consultants?

It can be frustrating when you’ve “done the strategy” and still feel like you’re drowning in names and numbers to build a prospect list, complete a grant application or find Board candidates. 

You need an actionable strategy (not another plan). That’s why I created MapMoveMeasure™ - a strategic framework that harnesses your expertise, makes your vision tangible, and allows you to focus on developing deeper, more meaningful relationships. 

Relationships that deliver
 ✔ more dollars,
 ✔ more quality time,
 ✔ more loyalty, and
 ✔ more leadership
so your organization can fulfill its purpose more effectively.

I WORK WITH nonprofit leadership teams who are ready to look up from their day-to-day and apply their knowledge, skill, and experience to make the world a better place. 

Together, we’ll create a roadmap grounded in your mission and intended outcomes. We’ll develop a common language to bridge the gaps between your vision and more tangible goals. 

We'll tap into your expertise and use your data to create your unique supporter engagement framework so you can 
 ✔ raise more dollars, 
 ✔ retain more volunteers, and 
 ✔ build a strong energized Board. 

✨ Your supporters and team members will feel alignment, clarity, and confidence about how to move forward in ways that make an immediate and lasting impact. 


WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT?
 💥 I’m goals-driven with a social mission (I left my corporate job at 30 to become an AmeriCorps VISTA)
 💥 I spent 10 years helping nonprofits use technology more effectively (it should work FOR YOU!)
 💥 I relate to wanting relevant information you can quickly apply to get results (don’t make me study!)
 💥 I believe “good enough is good enough” (no straight A+ standards here!).
