Behind Citrine Strategies
I started this business because I wanted to make a positive impact in my community and empower as many people and organizations as possible in pursuit of their missions.
My path to Citrine Strategies was anything but linear, but I think that's exactly what makes me good at this work.
In the midst of burnout at my corporate job, I decided that I needed to do something that made my work feel meaningful.
Nonprofits are full of passionate, brilliant people doing extraordinarily hard work with limited resources. What they often lack is not dedication or vision, it's the time and bandwidth needed to take a structured approach to the funding.
Citrine Strategies specializes in offering those organizations exactly what they're missing.
Citrine is named for its delightful lemony colors. It was historically called the Merchant’s Stone because of its golden sparkle. The ancient Egyptians and Greeks believed the stone would bring prosperity and used it to make talismans and jewelry. My hope is for Citrine Strategies to be your lucky talisman that will bring your organization prosperity it deserves to keep your mission going!
