Cindy Ahola LLC
Partnering with nonprofits to turn vision into action and data into meaningful change.
At Cindy Ahola LLC, we envision a nonprofit sector where organizations lead with clarity, govern with integrity, fund with purpose, and evaluate with honesty—ultimately maximizing their impact on the communities they serve.
We exist to help nonprofits turn vision into strategy, empower boards and fund development, and use data to drive meaningful, lasting change.
Strategic Planning for Mission Success
We help nonprofits define their vision, set clear priorities, and create actionable, measurable plans that align with their mission. Our process turns big ideas into practical steps that guide growth and deepen community impact.
Strengthen Your Board & Fundraising Foundation
Strong leadership and sustainable funding go hand in hand. We support boards in improving governance, engagement, and accountability while helping organizations build diverse, resilient fundraising strategies and deepen donor relationships.
Evaluate What Matters & Build on Success
We equip nonprofits with practical tools to measure outcomes, assess program effectiveness, and use data for continuous learning and growth. Whether you're reporting to funders or refining internal strategy, we help you make informed decisions with confidence.
About Me
I’m a nonprofit leader, founder, and consultant with over 15 years of experience designing programs, building teams, and guiding mission-driven organizations through growth and change. I’ve worked across sectors—education, workforce development, and social enterprise—always with a focus on equity, impact, and sustainability. I started this consulting practice because I know how hard this work can be, and how powerful it is when done well. I’m here to be a thought partner, a sounding board, and a champion for people doing good work in a complicated world.
