Nonprofit Leadership Services

Lead Better. Grow Faster. Together.

Nonprofit Leadership Drivers is a nationwide community of executive leaders and founders who are ready to scale their organizations — and not do it alone. Our small-group collectives offer strategic guidance, accountability, and connection for those at the top who are tired of leading in isolation. Whether you’re navigating growth, burnout, or bold new goals, this is your space to grow with intention.

Hiring leaders is meaningful work.

We specialize in executive search with heart — placing mission-aligned, emotionally intelligent leaders in CEO, Executive Director, and senior-level roles across the country.

Our process is people-first and purpose-driven. We walk alongside your team with deep experience, customized tools, and an unwavering commitment to equity and sustainability. We don’t just fill seats — we help you hire someone who will move your mission forward.

Looking for talent across your organization? We also offer customized candidate sourcing to help you build a stronger pipeline — whether it’s for one role or a full staff transition.

Make space for what really matters.

Sometimes the best strategy starts when you step away from the day-to-day. We facilitate custom retreats for leadership teams, boards, and coalitions who need to reconnect, realign, and dream big again. Using the Appreciative Inquiry model, our retreats are grounded in strengths and tailored to your team’s culture, goals, and challenges.

Inspiring, research-based, and unforgettable.
