Advisors who work the way you do — with heart, hustle, & purpose.

Founder Led. Expert powered.

At The Eakin Collaborative, we’ve built something different — a curated team of senior strategists, nonprofit leaders, and technologists who’ve been in your shoes.

This lean, collaborative model means you get seasoned experts focused on what matters: helping you make confident decisions, deliver impact, and move your mission forward.

We focus where it counts — in the areas that drive real impact for mission-driven teams.

Guiding Principles

  • We prioritize the success of our nonprofit partners above short-term profits. Our value is measured by the impact we help unlock — not by what we sell. With low overhead and lean margins, we offer top-quality services at competitive rates.

  • We are independent advisors. We don’t push tools or vendors — we guide nonprofits to the solutions that best-fit their goals, capacity, and culture.

  • Our goal is to build internal capability — not long-term reliance. We coach and equip nonprofits to confidently lead their own initiatives.

  • We embrace agile thinking and steady, iterative progress. We help clients make informed decisions — without waiting for perfect conditions.

  • We bring authenticity, transparency and clarity to every strategy and decision. Our job is to illuminate — not complicate.

  • We prioritize relationships over transactions. Our collaborative approach keeps your goals at the center — always.

  • Our clients get the A-team — every time. We’re a lean group of seasoned strategists with deep nonprofit and tech experience. No handoffs. No fluff. Just trusted partners focused on delivering real results.

  • We streamline complexity so strategy moves faster. By focusing on efficiency, clarity, and the right tools, we help clients — and ourselves — spend more time on what drives results, not what drains energy.

  • We design our deliverables to live, breathe, and evolve. Our work is built to be dynamic, actionable, and aligned with your changing needs.

  • We harness AI to amplify human insight — not replace it. By automating tedious, time-consuming tasks, we help nonprofits save time and focus their energy on what matters most.

Want to work with a

partner instead of a vendor?

Lean by design. Experts on demand. We keep our team small, agile, and hands-on — so you’re never paying for extra layers or learning curves.

We built this model to stay lean, move fast, and deliver smarter — because the work nonprofits do is too important to settle for anything less.

We bring in seasoned experts who’ve walked in your shoes and know how to deliver.
