About
At Beth Saunders Associates, it’s our mission to make your mission happen – easier.
Nonprofits are doing a LOT of important work and data collection. They are also in constant “go mode” making it hard to look up, stay on a strategic path, and increase their impact.
That is why we developed MapMoveMeasure® – a pragmatic and strategic framework that makes it easier for nonprofit leaders to develop longer-term, mutually rewarding relationships with supporters willing to contribute more time, money, and skills so they can make your nonprofit’s mission happen.
Meet our Founder, Beth.
Beth is passionate about making missions happen and believes meaningful human connection is the key to achieving positive change in the world.
She helps nonprofit leaders connect people and programs to mission and goals by harnessing their expertise and tapping their data. Her MapMoveMeasure® framework is a guide for elevating stewardship and developing longer-term relationships with supporters – donors, volunteers, advocates, board members.
Beth’s clients have said that working with her is not just typical project work with a fixed scope. It’s a process that introduces a new way of thinking about their work.
Beth’s consulting practice reflects her life experience and her approach mirrors her own way of learning. Studying abroad in college, earning her MBA, taking a mid-career detour to volunteer and travel in South America, leaving her corporate job to become an AmeriCorps VISTA and ultimately leading her own consulting practice have contributed to Beth’s passion for making the complex simple and the very lofty tangible.

Our Values
We are goals-oriented
We are always looking up. We approach the task at hand by asking ‘what are we trying to achieve?’ in our quest to find the right solution.
We communicate with transparency
We say it like it is. We let you know what we believe you need, not just what you want to hear.
We work within your means (and ours)
We offer our best effort (applied experience and expertise) to provide the most with what you have (people, budget, time).
We make it tangible
We believe in keeping it simple — achieving goals is within reach and the process doesn’t have to be overbearing and complex. We focus on what adds the most value for the situation you’re in, nothing more and nothing less.
We work collaboratively
Whether it is within our own team or with yours, we arrive at decisions through conversation that considers all perspectives.
