At Avandra Coaching, we look beneath the surface to uncover what is creating the bottlenecks. We assess operations, finance, HR, roles, and processes; co-create a practical plan with leadership; and roll up our sleeves to implement it.

My team and I offer fractional COO support, organizational health assessments, and strategic planning for mid-sized nonprofits. If growth, turnover, or leadership change has left too much operational responsibility sitting with you, let’s build the structure your organization needs to move forward.

Sarah Grebow, M.A.

With more than two decades exclusively in major gifts, Sarah Grebow of Sherwood Glen Consulting, LLC has focused her career on front-line major gift philanthropy and training, coaching, and collaborating with school and nonprofit leaders, Development staff, and board members in higher education, K-12 schools, and nonprofits.

Since 2017, as a major gift consultant, she empowers and supports nonprofits and charter schools with personalized strategies, donor plans, and action steps in all parts of high-level donor engagement and philanthropy. Sarah designed her approach to probing questions for major prospects throughout the fundraising cycle through her intensive training with the late Jerold Panas (a pioneer of major gift fundraising known for establishing best practices for engagement through donor questions).

Sarah currently volunteers on the board of City Neighbors Foundation (a nonprofit supporting three Baltimore City public charter schools), the board of Latin American Montessori Bilingual Public Charter School (a Washington, DC public school); the selection committee of University of Maryland’s C.D. Mote, Jr. Incentive Awards Program, and the grant committee of Towson University’s Tall-Wiedefeld Society.

She earned her Master’s degree in Higher Education from the University of Maryland and her Bachelor’s degree in Comparative Literature (Spanish and English) with a Minor in Educational Studies from Haverford College.

In addition to consulting, Andrea is the Executive Director of the Razia’s Ray of Hope Foundation, the Chair of the Board of Directors for the Love Life Now Foundation, and Secretary of the Board of Trustees for the Foxborough Regional Charter School.

At DARE Impact Consulting, we help small to mid-sized non-profits use their data to create lasting change in their communities. We do this by giving them tools to make confident decisions, build trust, and do more of what works.

We use Design, Analysis, Research, and Evaluation to work with organizations to co-design solutions that meet the real needs you’re seeing in community. We make the most of existing data and resources by analyzing what you have, and gathering credible community research. This helps us build evaluation and learning approaches that respond to what your organization and community actually need, to help you make decisions confidently and strategically.
