Seattle, WA

I lead Nancy Bacon Consulting LLC, an education production company focused on nonprofits and the social sector. We work with nonprofit, philanthropic, association, and public sector clients across the United States to design solutions that address social sector challenges and opportunities and build the capacity of those who help others. We help move.

We took our popular nonprofit and adult learning courses and made them available through anytime learning.

The Nonprofit Radio Show offers bite-size, practical information to help your nonprofit thrive. Based in Washington State, we celebrate the small nonprofits that serve our diverse communities.

I made sure nonprofits had what they needed to succeed. I worked with a fantastic colleagues to deliver 150+ nonprofit learning events in communities across Washington. Together we served and supported our members and raised the funds we needed to achieve our mission.
