About
Too many strategic plans end up collecting dust in desk drawers or sitting forgotten in shared drives. At Stapley & Hinton, we bring over 25 years of combined experience in higher education, public health, and the nonprofit sector to your organization. We understand how challenging it can be to balance lofty missions with limited resources, competing priorities, and the pressure to deliver at a high level.
Our mission is to help nonprofits gain clarity, create sustainable plans, and move them into implementation.
Our approach is straightforward: practical strategies, individualized attention, and the accountability that helps teams carry their plans forward.
Whether you need long-term strategic direction, data-driven insights, or a workshop to align your team, we will meet you where you are and support you in where you want to go.
