We provide consulting support for nonprofits


We want to help you make the most of your time and resources by developing the best plan and structure to help your cause.

We can help you with:


Executive Director Hiring

Approaching a leadership transition for any organization is time intensive, takes deep board collaboration and a willingness to assess the organization to identify the right next leader to take the helm. We can facilitate a thorough and collaborative process from job description development, all the way to onboarding and initial 90-day goal setting for your next leader.

Strategic Planning

Every organization experiences challenges with continuity and engagement among their Board of Directors. We can partner with you to restructure the role of the board, foster engagement, and set and track goals that directly connect to what your organization is trying to accomplish.

Board Planning & Engagement

We’re here to help facilitate a robust, collaborative process to align on what your organization exists to achieve, how you’ll fulfill it in the short and long term and facilitate buy-in and alignment with your board and staff.

Meet the founders

We’re Kate & Sarah, and we go way back.

We started out as friends 10 years ago, brought together initially through a shared connection to cancer. We both joined Texas 4000 for Cancer while attending the University of Texas.

After that, we diverged down our individual career paths but found ourselves professionally connected again on the board of Texas 4000, where we both have served as chairmen. That experience in leadership and collaboration together is what inspired us to go into business together and develop Guide Cause.
