WHO WE ARE
Confirma is a fellowship of active and late-career senior executives shaped by the demands of complex organizations and anchored in principled leadership practices and deep experience. Our Trusted Advisors are senior executives from moderate to large companies who have many decades of leadership experience. Our members serve as advisors—they are sounding boards who listen, ask perceptive questions, analyze, and come alongside nonprofit leaders with humility and practical skill.
Our advisors have led complex organizations, guided boards, built teams, navigated crises, and formed long-term strategy. We bring that experience to organizations that seek practical guidance and trusted counsel. Our members are motivated by their Christian faith, but our work is directed toward all organizations committed to a noble purpose. Our Trusted Advisors are grounded in a faith-based value system that emphasizes integrity, humility, stewardship, and service.

WHAT MAKES CONFIRMA DIFERENT
-
We believe experienced leaders can transition when they leave full-time marketplace roles. Their accumulated wisdom can be deployed on behalf of organizations pursuing noble causes, resulting in stronger non-profit leaders and fortified organizations that flourish!
-
Our Advisors are proven leaders, not generic consultants: executives who have carried responsibility for strategy, people, and results at scale.
-
When relevant to the mission of a non-profit built upon religious convictions, we context our work with faith-anchored counsel and guidance shaped by Biblical principles, prayerful discernment, humility, and service.
-
Capacity-building focus: not "doing the work for you," but strengthening the leader and the organization so impact endures.
-
Right sized for mid-sized nonprofits, which our research indicates are the most in need and the most receptive for this type of service
-
Relational, and practical
-
Accessible especially when big consulting firm services are cost prohibitive.
