Nonprofit Consulting Center

BVU works as a behind-the-scenes coach. In ways big and small, we refer volunteers and provide consulting, support and training. How can we help you?

"The merger of BVU with CNE has greatly expanded what each had been doing on its own. Together, their collective experience, expertise and insight is proving invaluable to nonprofit organizations such as ours. Hats off to this new regional asset!"

Empowering Your Team

Since 1993, we've worked with nonprofits of all sizes to solve complex governance, organizational and process issues. Our practical and relevant direction eliminates the types of barriers that can interfere with your effectiveness.

Governance & Leadership Consulting

We've become a thought leader within Northeast Ohio due to our results-driven approach in assisting nonprofit boards to assess and strengthen their performance. Since foundations support this work, we're able to provide these services at a fraction of their true cost.
