Our Philosophy

I believe that people who care about contributing to positive change can make a difference in the lives of others, and in so doing create a better world for us all — that’s why I am in this business.

I believe in the power of the social sector to transform lives and change the world in positive ways—to create a more just, prosperous, verdant and sustainable world.

As a result, my work is dedicated to improving organizational leadership and management practices to achieve greater impact. I work with my clients to create pragmatic solutions; and to guide the tactics that turn strategy into action, leading to lasting results.

I help organizations optimize strategy, structure, and culture to achieve their goals.

My belief in philanthropy stems from values instilled in me since childhood, wherein the importance of giving is an act of justice and righteousness, and therefore it is considered a duty and a blessing.

In order to improve lives and repair ills in the world, I take a pragmatic approach: I strive to improve the outcomes of organizations and inspire others to participate through engaging and effective means. This has led me to a donor-centered approach to fundraising, which entails building relationships with individuals who will commit significant resources to a mission. I employ the most effective practices of fundraising to engage donors and prospects and to meet and involve them in the organization in ways that inspire them. I also believe that most nonprofit organizations benefit from a diverse revenue base.

Hartman Consulting brings a passion for addressing needs through philanthropy–connecting donors and organizations to achieve successful outcomes. We apply our extensive experience to help nonprofit organizations, foundations and donors achieve goals and increase their impact. We are successful because we are committed to our clients’ success.

We also reaffirm the values that inspire, guide and unite us as a community, dedicated to enhancing the world we live in, through service to others:
