C. STRICKLAND CONSULTING INC.
SUNRISE, FLORIDA

Are you a small organization with a big mission? Are you in a growth phase, with your staff already at capacity? Do you have goals – developing a social media presence, overhauling your website, producing a policy paper, expanding your funding – but are too busy to execute? I can help. With nearly two decades in the nonprofit sector, I have filled almost every role – executive director, communications director, lobbyist, grant writer, volunteer organizer, researcher, strategist. I have designed new programs and secured funding for them, helped promote good legislative proposals and block bad ones, cultivated thought leadership through digital communications, and garnered significant earned media. I want to put this experience to work for you. As a Baptist preacher’s kid in small-town Georgia, I was surrounded by people who wanted to do good. Through the church, my parents sought to help those confronting tough challenges with insufficient resources. They also fought for individuals’ ability to interpret the scripture for themselves, for the right of women to be ordained, and for a church covenant that welcomed all. In my town – where the KKK still marched and my high school suffered race-related fighting – the lessons held daily import. I didn’t inherit my parents’ involvement in organized religion, but I did get their sense of calling. For me, this translated into a desire to protect free speech, voting rights, reproductive freedom, and equality. I want to help ensure that every individual has a voice. I was already working as an independent consultant when my family moved to Colombia. I expected my career in the US charitable sector to wane, but instead more consulting opportunities arose. I now provide services in My clients are cause-oriented organizations of all sizes. Specialties include voting rights, religious freedom, LGBTQ equality, racial justice, reproductive freedom, immigrants’ rights, child welfare, and much more. Through effective communications, public policy advocacy, and grant writing, I help organizations achieve their missions and expand their reach. Please click below to see more of my work. You’re working for the greater good. I’m working for you. My desire is to help maximize your organization’s positive impact on the world. The first step in that process is for me to listen, to find out more about your needs. Maybe you already know the type of assistance you’re seeking; maybe you are searching for solutions. Either way, my task is to solve problems, fill the gap, expand your capacity, make something possible that wasn’t before – all so that your organization can better achieve its mission. I am grateful to each of my clients for the chance to be part of the important work they do. “Courtenay Strickland has always been of great help in our efforts to advance human rights in Florida – initially as a member of our staff and more recently as a consultant working on discrete projects..."
