Testimonials

When I first met Paulina, I felt like a wounded soldier in battle. I had founded an organization where there were no funding streams, a lot of need, and an enormous amount of leg work that still had to be done. She was like a fairy Godmother who took her magic wand of words and waived it over my business plan transforming it into a concise and understandable work of art!

In 2021, our organization, Passport for Change, Inc., hired Paulina from Capacity Experts to facilitate the process and write our strategic plan. We were a newly formed nonprofit and enlisting the services of Paulina was the best investment we’ve made. She guided us through a rigorous but enjoyable process that helped us clear a path for internal development and clarify our mission, goals, and values. We are extremely grateful for her guidance and expertise!”

I have personally gone through these courses and modules and find them to be filled with practical information and the latest trends for helping non-profits advance their mission and sustainability efforts. Paulina Alvarado-Goldman, course designer, and capacity expert is always on the lookout for best practices that can elevate leaders into a greater understanding of the ever changing funding streams and governance that sets succesful nonprofits apart from those who are struggling. This course is worth your investment of time and resources. It will set you apart and get you noticed in the noise of your field.
