Our consultation with Courtney Johnson was deeply insightful and incredibly helpful for our budding non-profit! She provided our board with a clear roadmap for effective board governance and helped guide us in setting up standard committees to delineate our many responsibilities as a board, so we can divide and conquer all the many duties we have taken on as a non-profit. She led us in exercises to identify our priorities for each committee and provided us with a structure to foster seamless communication. This first consultation with her has been instrumental in shaping our organization's foundation for future success. I look forward to tapping into the wealth of knowledge and experience of CPJ Advisors in the future to build on what we have already learned.

We can't wait to apply everything we've learned while working with Courtney to our organization. We started our fundraising journey excited but overwhelmed with the work ahead, and Courtney has done a great job laying out all the necessary steps and eliminating the guesswork. She is a great resource that sees the bigger picture when it comes to supporting non-profits.

What's the cost of governance gaps in your organization?
You know that governance matters for your organization. But do you realize that:
Lack of documented donor-cultivation process
Misalignment on strategic goals
Blurred accountability
…compromise the motivation, productivity, and the decisions of your board?
The board becomes a source of friction — and when that happens, the people who suffer the consequences are the very people your organization is trying to help.
Turning your board into an active and collaborative fundraising asset isn't rocket science
You just need your board to:
Own their role in fundraising
Make confident decisions
Follow clear policies
Simple enough. But right now that's not happening. So you're wondering…
… Is it time to re-build the dynamics in your board?
Hi, I'm Courtney Johnson, founder of Courtney Johnson Philanthropy Advisors. I believe no nonprofit leader should dread walking into a board meeting. Your board is your organization's greatest untapped asset — it deserves to work.
Nonprofit leaders partner with me to turn a passive board into an active, collaborative fundraising engine. From policies and governance to donor cultivation, it's the same T.L.C. Engagement System I built as a non-profit leader — and I'll help you install it.
No jargon. No fluff. Just a clear, board-led system that grows your impact and the assistance that reaches the people you serve.
If that resonates, let's talk.

Your non-profit deserves an exceptional advisor
