Our Work,
Your Impact

After working in-house at several nonprofits, Kristin Kelley Monahan formed Kelley Nonprofit Consulting (Kelley NPC) in 2006, offering a full suite of services to help clients in the philanthropic, community nonprofit, and government sectors dream and achieve big, bold visions.

From helping nonprofits grow, diversify and manage earned and unearned revenue, to launching creative nonprofit partnerships to bring federal and state resources to Oregon’s rural communities; and from helping larger philanthropic clients implement new strategic funding opportunities, to providing much-needed capacity as smaller family foundations explore a new approach or field; Kelley NPC serves as an amplifier and translator of sorts – helping resource providers and resource seekers align their efforts for the greatest good.

Taking a servant leadership style approach, Kelley NPC’s team is happiest working behind the scenes ensuring the spotlight is on the work of Kelley NPC’s 25+ ongoing clients (and several short-term clients) and the communities they serve.

Proof is also in the client roster: nearly every client Kelley NPC has performed work for over the past two decades remains a client to this day – seeking more of the firm’s support, time, and expert but humble guidance. Clients are unique in their size, age, and stage of development, spanning focus areas from economic development to the arts, youth engagement to mental health, and more.

Current ongoing clients, many who have worked with Kelley NPC for nearly a decade, include The Black United Fund of Oregon, Oregon Native American Chamber, The Ford Family Foundation, Business Oregon, High Desert Partnership, Oregon Community Foundation, POIC+RAHS, Prosper Portland, Caldera Arts, and the Todd Hoffman Foundation, among many others.

Meet the Team

Team Kelley gives back! Our Portland-based team members took part in a Stewardship Work Party at Irving Park Nature Patch, September 2023.

“Kristin has provided me with regular, one-on-one support since I became the Executive Director…Kelley NPC has helped with a variety of projects, from completely revamping BUF’s marketing materials, to creating new evaluation materials, to supporting a complete update of our grants award process. Their hands-on support has been absolutely invaluable.”
