Cynthia Young, CAE

I’m a nonprofit entrepreneur with the smarts for business and the heart for mission.

Nonprofits no longer have the luxury of catching up with corporate best practices. Donors are now consumers with an insatiable need to know the social ROI of their investments. When fiscal stewardship is mixed with inspirational vision, brand champions are born.

MY PHILOSOPHY:

♦ Passion is the catalyst but money moves the mission.
♦ Sound operations lay foundations for sound programs.
♦ Trust is earned when people know you care.
♦ Data is only as good as the story it tells.
♦ What drives the heart, drives the donor.

ABOUT ME:

✔ I tell stories in living color.
✔ I create communities of purpose.
✔ I evangelize what I believe in.
✔ I lead with humor and humility.
✔ I embrace change without fear.
