Welcome to Cooper Consulting!
I'm Stephanie Cooper, and I'm glad you're here. If you're a nonprofit leader or board member, chances are you know the weight of the work, and so do I.
I know what it's like to sit in the CEO's chair at a nonprofit — the pressure, the tough calls, the balancing act, the uncertainty. I started Cooper Consulting Services to help other nonprofit leaders and boards navigate that same path with more confidence and less guesswork.
With 26 years of C-suite experience as a nonprofit CEO, and as a licensed social worker, I bring a rare combination of strategic expertise and lived understanding to every engagement. I help organizations strengthen executive and board leadership through board governance training, fractional CEO support, executive coaching, and strategic planning.
Take a look around to see how I support nonprofit leaders and boards, then schedule an introductory call to explore how we can work together to strengthen your leadership and advance your mission!

My Services
Nonprofit organizations are at the heart of our communities, and they deserve expert support to thrive. At Cooper Consulting Services, I partner with you to transform passion into purpose-driven action. My services are designed to help you strengthen your board, develop exceptional leaders, and build a sustainable future for your organization. Whether you need a powerful strategic plan, hands-on executive coaching, or support navigating a period of transition, I'm here to provide the guidance and expertise you need to make a lasting impact.
Fractional CEO Services
Executive leadership without the full-time commitment
Senior-level leadership during transitions or growth phases, without the full-time salary commitment. Get the executive guidance you need to scale your capacity, navigate change, and stay focused on your mission.
Board Governance & Development
Build boards that lead with confidence and impact
As a BoardSource Certified Nonprofit Board Consultant, I transform boards from passive observers into engaged, strategic partners. Your board will gain the skills, knowledge, and confidence to provide purpose-driven leadership and effective governance.
General Consulting Services
Flexible support for the challenges that don't fit a box
Not every organizational need fits neatly into one category. From organizational assessments to program evaluation, grant writing consultation to workshops and speaking engagements, I offer flexible, hourly consulting to help you tackle the challenge in front of you — whatever it is.
Strategic Planning and Implementation
Clarity, alignment and actionable roadmaps
Move beyond plans that sit on the shelf. I facilitate the strategic planning process and provide ongoing support to ensure your plan is successfully executed—turning strategy into measurable results.
Executive Coaching
Transform your leadership, amplify your impact
One-on-one coaching for Executive Directors, board chairs, or both together, tailored to where you are in your leadership journey. Through personalized guidance and strategic support, I help you build the skills, clarity, and confidence to lead with greater impact — and when leadership is unified, your entire organization moves forward with it.

Cooper Consulting Nonprofit Grant
I'm driven by a deep commitment to strengthening the nonprofit sector — and I know that not every organization doing meaningful work has the budget to access the support it needs. That's why I offer a pro-bono consulting grant to help a nonprofit move forward on a specific project, so cost isn't the barrier standing between your organization and its next step. I'm proud to help empower organizations to achieve their missions through this program.
