About Us

---

Lori Nelson founded Elevate Nonprofit Solutions in 2024 after spending over 30 years in the nonprofit sector, including 23 years as an executive director.  As a nonprofit professional and a licensed attorney, she saw a tremendous need to apply sound business management practices within the nonprofit sector.

Many nonprofit organizations struggle to reach their full potential due to a variety of factors, and while they are run by talented individuals with a strong passion  for the organizational mission, they are often unsure how to advance their missions in the best possible way, navigating obstacles, and struggling to build a strong and sustainable financial foundation.

Lori brings her unique experience of working with nonprofits, business interests, trade organizations, government relations firms, and law firms to Elevate Nonprofit Solutions to craft custom solutions and provide as-needed services to address clients' most pressing concerns. Whether you need strategic planning, fundraising, board recruitment and development, program evaluation, communications, or event planning, Lori and her associates can provide you and your team with the tools you need for success.
