Rooted in Purpose

Callahan Consultants is a boutique nonprofit consulting firm. In 2020, I was inspired by Arthur Brooks’ From Strength to Strength, and set out to bring my gifts, wisdom, and crystallized intelligence to serve others. With a passion for the health and well-being of the most vulnerable in our society, I dove into the grant world with an ever-deepening purpose to help non-profits find and secure financial resources to help them carry out their missions.  Today, I focus on supporting Christian focused and Christian-led organization.

I believe God gives us talents to use for good. I use mine to help ministries and faith-led organizations secure the resources they need to serve their communities.
