Ellen Christine
Organization Overview
Most nonprofit leaders don’t need another plan; they need fundraising systems and aligned teams that actually work.
Ellen Christine Consulting helps nonprofit leaders move out of survival mode and into confident, sustainable growth. With 20+ years of experience helping raise more than $1B across global causes, Ellen brings deep expertise in major donor fundraising, leadership alignment, and strategic execution.
At the core of the work is The Thriving Nonprofit Leader®, Ellen’s signature program and methodology, which aligns strategy, culture, story, and fundraising so organizations stop reacting and start leading with clarity.
Ellen partners with executive directors, fundraisers, and leadership teams through consulting engagements, cohort-based coaching, workshops, and speaking.
Clients gain practical systems, stronger donor partnerships, aligned teams, and renewed confidence—so fundraising fuels the mission without burning out the leader.
Specialties: Major Donor Strategy • Fundraising Systems • Leadership Alignment • Story-Driven Engagement
