FIVE YEARS AGO, WE TOOK A LEAP 🚀
It’s funny how life works.

Alex Niefer and I had worked together for years, but after moving on to different roles in different parts of the country, we kept randomly running into each other. Once at 1:00 AM at a gas station, each of us returning from family vacations. Another time, just walking the streets of Boston. Every time, I’d hear his unmistakable, booming voice:
"Hey, Kev!" 😄

Fast forward to late 2019. We were both in jobs that looked good on paper but felt... depleting. One day in early 2020, we sat down to talk (over Bueno y Sano burritos 😋):

What if we built something of our own?
What if we used everything we knew to help good people doing good work—on our own terms?
What if we took the leap?

We had no roadmap. No guarantees. Just a deep belief that good people doing good work deserve great support.

So we did. And in early 2020, Prosper Nonprofit Advisors was born. On the eve of a global pandemic that shut the world down, as luck would have it!

But we persisted. We thrived. We continue to ascend. We continue to... well, Prosper!

Five years later, here's what that leap has turned into:
✅ 18 incredible nonprofit partners & nearly 30 contracts.
✅ Millions raised for missions that matter.
✅ Transformational board retreats, leadership coaching, and strategy sessions.
✅ A thriving business, a growing team, and an even stronger friendship.
✅ A deeply fulfilling and rewarding career that is everything we imagined and more.

If we’ve worked together, we’d love to hear from you! Drop a comment or send us a message 😀 We are so grateful for all the clients who have believed in us, and the connectors who have attached their name and credibility to ours as they recommend us to others. We do not take these responsibilities lightly.

And if you’re looking for a partner to help your nonprofit thrive, let’s talk.

Here’s to the next five years! 🥂

P.S. - If you will be at the CASE District I conference in Boston next week, we will be too - on the 5 year anniversary of our founding. We'd love to (re)connect, introduce ourselves, and celebrate our 5 year anniversary with you!!! 🥳

We recently provided a workshop to the Foundation Board of Morgan State University. It certainly lives up to its nickname, "The National Treasure"!

Thank you Endia DeCordova, President Wilson, the Foundation Board, and the team at Morgan State University, and we look forward to future collaborations!

Our work has long-lasting impact!

We LOVE getting emails out of the blue from previous clients, such as the one from our friends down at the USF Alumni Association, who we recently helped create a 3-year strategic plan. After 6 months, the incredible Bill McCausland sent a wonderful follow up that warms our hearts:

"I’m here doing some reporting work on our strategic plan, and I just wanted to say that we did a great job. Thanks to your leadership, we have a wonderful guiding plan for the next few years!"

Thank you so much for the opportunity to partner with you! We had a blast in the process, and are glad it continues to provide a valuable framework for your engagement efforts 🙂

Quick Tip: Personalize Your Donor Communications

Enhance donor engagement by personalizing your communications. Address donors by their first name, reference their past contributions, and tailor your message to their interests and giving history. Small changes like these can make a big difference in building stronger, more meaningful relationships with your supporters.

Personalized communication shows donors that you value their individual contributions and fosters a deeper sense of connection and loyalty.

Remember, it's the little things that count! 💌
