Our Partners

Bash Advisory is proud to support leading organizations across the country.

  • "Working with Bash Advisory was transformative for Block Club Chicago: their first priority was to develop a deep and accurate understanding of our nonprofit's model and goals, and it was evident that all of our projects together were built on top of that foundation. They opened our eyes to enormous fundraising potential we had overlooked and guided us through the abstract and concrete steps to build out a robust program. In a matter of weeks, we were armed with a portfolio of resources to support our clear, shared vision for growth, lightyears ahead of where we could have gotten ourselves (in twice the time)."

She is a genuine member of our team and a fierce champion of our mission. Her coaching in refining our initial communications with prospective funders, enhancing our grant narratives, and optimizing our funding requests has played a pivotal role in the notable increase of our foundation revenue. We are deeply grateful for Sara's dedication, expertise, and commitment. She has not only provided us with crucial support, but has become an integral part of our success."

Sara's consultancy built the foundation of a major giving program and the organization's first-ever in-person cultivation event, which was very successful. Not only can Sara operate as a strategic thought partner to any executive director, but she is also not afraid to roll her sleeves up and get into the nitty-gritty of the work."
