What Nonprofits Say

{First, and foremost, a huge THANK YOU! I personally thought the day was exceptional - great discussion, great ideas, openness, honesty, and active participation. I really was very pleased with the entire day and its outcomes. And much of that is thanks to your leadership and expertise! We definitely chose the right facilitator for this effort, and I want to extend a very genuine and heartfelt thank you for your hard work! I had several calls the weekend afterward from board members who spoke very positively about the day and very highly about BVU and your team's facilitation skills. It was definitely time well spent - thank you!
Tim Gleason
Executive Director, Community Service Alliance
{
BVU is as good a partner as you could find. Their work elevating governance and sustainability has benefited many organizations in our region, including Neighborhood Family Practice.
Fred DeGrandis
Board Member, Neighborhood Family Practice
{We are so much better as a board as a result of the work BVU did, and the supporting materials they provided were a great follow-up for our board.
Tami Honkala
President & CEO, HELP Foundation
{
BVU has been an integral component of Food Strong's growth. We now have 4 rockstar board members who were connected to us by BVU. The trainings and consultations we receive through this incredible organization have assisted us tremendously. Being a part of BVU is a no-brainer for any organization that seeks to grow and develop capacity.
Sara Continenza
Food Strong
{I have been with my organization for 34 years and this was one of the best presentations on volunteers and board governance that I have ever attended. I appreciated the refreshing and concise approach and am looking forward to the next training!
Amy Dell
Program Officer, Licking County Foundation
{Thank you for your ongoing support! It has made a huge difference to me as a new CEO. What you have provided has significantly shaped my relationship with my board and their ability to be intentional in their work. It’s a journey and we are travelling in a great direction. BVU is making a difference.
Kirsti Mouncey
President & CEO, Collaborative to End Human Trafficking
{Best strategic planning session we have ever done. BVU was spot on. They love their work and it shows. I was hesitant to do a strategic plan over Zoom, but they made the virtual format comfortable and efficient.
Tony Thomas
Executive Director, Welcome House, Inc.
{For the past few years, we have been doing the best that we can, but I feel like someone has sent in the rescue team since partnering with BVU. Their nonprofit consultants helped us break down and prioritize our needs versus just running on the wheel.
Zulma Zabala
(Formerly) Chief Executive Officer, East End Neighborhood House
{We worked with BVU to establish a few advisory boards at Cleveland Metropolitan School District Schools… I found myself going to BVU in terms of helping us set up the structure and the framework for these boards. They’ve done it in the past, they continuously do it, and they bring a high-level of professionalism to the initiative.
Shana Marbury
(Formerly) General Counsel and Senior Vice President, Greater Cleveland Partnership
