Loving Venti exists to make sure these organizations don’t have to navigate complexity alone. We meet nonprofits where they are—and help them build what they need to grow sustainably, without losing the heart of their mission.

Across Wisconsin, more than 19,000 nonprofits are working every day to ease community pain—from loneliness and poverty to trauma, racism, and financial strain. These organizations are deeply rooted in their communities and led by people who care fiercely about the work.
Yet most are operating with very limited capacity.
More than 17,000 nonprofits in Wisconsin have annual budgets under $500,000. Another 2,000 operate between $500,000–$1,000,000, and thousands more are navigating growth with fewer resources than their mission truly requires. Many are led by founders or first-time executive directors—visionary, committed, and passionate—who often lack access to affordable, tailored support in strategy, operations, and fund development.
While this small-but-mighty majority of nonprofits carries enormous responsibility, most consulting, training, and infrastructure resources are built for organizations with larger budgets, established teams, or revenues over $1 million. That leaves organizations under $1 million—and especially under $500,000—figuring things out alone: building systems, raising funds, aligning teams, and managing growth, all while trying to stay focused on the people they exist to serve.
