Your Mission Is Powerful.Let's Make Sure Your Operations Are, Too.
Operational excellence and measurable impact for mission-driven organizations.
Most nonprofits and social enterprises start the same way: a powerful mission, a passionate team, and a drive to change the world.
But somewhere along the way, things get complicated. Programs grow faster than systems. Funders ask for data you don't have. Your team spends more time putting out fires than advancing your mission.
You know you're doing good work—but you can't always prove it. And you know your organization could run better—but you don't have time to fix what's broken.
That's where we come in.
Hi, I'm Stacey D. Burns
I've spent 15+ years helping mission-driven organizations stop spinning their wheels and start seeing real results.
Through SDB Social Impact Consulting, I partner with nonprofits, social enterprises, and government agencies to build stronger operations, better systems, and clearer ways to measure what matters.
Our Philosophy
- Your mission drives everything we do
- Simple systems beat complicated ones
- If you can't measure it, you can't improve it
