CAPITAL CAPACITY IMPACT
Helping Leaders Raise Capital, Build Capacity, and Create Lasting Impact.
We partner with nonprofit leaders and organizations to strengthen their foundation, increase philanthropic revenue, and lead with confidence—at every stage of growth.
Experienced Guidance for Leaders Carrying Real Responsibility
Raising capital is not just a fundraising challenge. It’s a leadership challenge.
​
Organizations struggle to secure meaningful funding when clarity, systems, culture, and confidence are misaligned. Boards feel pressure. Staff feel stretched. Leaders carry the weight—often alone.
​
We are a team of organizational development and major gift fundraising experts who help nonprofits close critical gaps, strengthen their foundation, and build long-term financial sustainability.
MH Stern Group exists to help leaders address both sides of the equation—building organizational capacity and securing the capital required to create lasting impact.

Why Leaders Choose MH Stern Group

Most firms focus on fundraising or organizational health. We work on both—because sustainable funding requires it.

Board expectations, limited resources, ambitious goals, and real consequences. We’ve been there—and we guide leaders through it.
​
We Build Confidence, Not Dependency
Our goal is not long-term reliance on consultants. Our goal is to equip leaders to lead, fund, and grow with clarity long after our work together ends.

-
New nonprofit founders building the right foundation
-
Fundraisers and leaders who feel overwhelmed or under-supported
-
Experienced professionals navigating board pressure and stalled growth

Executive leaders preparing for major or capital campaigns
