Redemptive work
starts here.

Community transformation requires more than good intentions. Every organization, no matter its size or budget, needs a well-defined strategic framework, robust systems, and clear processes. We help teams clarify who they are, what they do, and how they work, then design the systems that make it all more focused, efficient, and scalable. Systems deliver what they're built to deliver.

To change results, we have to change the system.

Learn About Our Why

Our Approach

Working with both sides makes us better at each. We know what funders look for because we help them build their selection criteria, and we know what it takes for a nonprofit to meet that bar because we help teams get there.

For Givers

For Nonprofits

We help generous families, foundations, and giving collaboratives replace reactive check-writing with defined criteria, sound governance, and honest evaluation of what their dollars produce.

Your mission is too important to run on broken systems. We help you build the strategy, programs, and data that grow your impact and make you competitive for institutional funding.

From Our Clients

"The Source greatly benefited from Garrett's creative problem-solving skills, tireless work ethic, and willingness to do whatever it took to help The Source translate its vision into reality... This was evident in his development of Salesforce, moving locations for one of our clinics, and establishing processes for several other platforms.

I fully recommend Garrett Clawson for any company needing organizational skills, critical thinking, and support. His work ethic and overall desire to see everyone succeed make him so unique in this profession."
KENDRA MANER

Director of OperationAL SUPPORT, THE SOURCE
"When I became an executive director facing the challenges of raising funds for a nonprofit for the first time in my life, I didn’t know what I didn’t know. Garrett not only took the time to learn about our ministry, but he also wanted to learn about me. He also coached me in nonprofit functions I felt insecure about. Garrett cares about his clients and honestly seeks God’s very best for them.”
MARCUS WALKER

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, DAILY BREAD MINISTRIES
"The lens Garrett uses is great for getting us to dig deeper and deeper...Our meetings were productive, whether we were getting our thoughts out in a safe environment to go back and forth, or getting new ideas flushed out in writing. But we always left with something."

From the outset, Garrett demonstrated professionalism and flexibility, always making sure our team felt heard... It was obvious to our team and board of directors that Garrett cares about our organization and desires to see us add tremendous value to all those we serve. Thanks to Garrett, we now possess a newfound clarity of purpose and direction. "
