Our Approach
When we work together, we are guided by principles that honor people, lead with intention, and create space for both clarity and flexibility. Our approach combines strategic thinking with thoughtful process to support sustainable growth without losing the heart of the mission.
Our Guiding Principles
We believe that our partners, our work, and our team members thrive when:
WE STRIVE FOR MEANINGFUL IMPACT
We approach our work with care and commitment, aiming for the best possible outcomes. When results fall short, we reflect, learn, and adapt. Our dedication to continuous improvement ensures we deliver practical, effective solutions that add value.
WE ILLUMINATE THE PATH WITH CLARITY
We communicate openly and honestly, ensuring understanding of goals, intentions, and expectations. We take time to seek consensus and set clear boundaries, never assuming understanding. By providing transparent, actionable insights and inviting open dialogue, we empower confident decision-making and foster an environment of trust.
WE BEND WITHOUT BREAKING
Flexibility is our strength. We adapt to diverse needs, working styles, and circumstances, recognizing that agility is key to success. We believe that every individual and organization has inherent strengths to build upon, and we prioritize identifying and leveraging existing assets and capabilities to pivot when needed.
WE HONOR EACH OTHER
We approach every interaction with deep respect, honoring each person’s unique background, ideas, and contributions. We recognize that every journey is valuable, and unique perspectives are what make us stronger. We don’t claim to have all the answers, recognizing that true expertise emerges from collaborative learning and shared experiences.
WE LEAD WITH INTENTION
Intention and grace are at our core. Our decisions and actions are guided by thoughtful consideration of their impact. We approach interactions with generosity, assuming positive intent and offering grace in the face of challenges.
WE FIND JOY IN THE JOURNEY
While our work addresses serious issues, we intentionally seek moments of lightness. We cultivate positive environments, using humor and celebration to build connections, navigate challenges, and acknowledge how far we’ve come.

How Loving Venti is unique in our approach, we practice...
Leaders Forward
Loving Venti elevates the work of Nonprofit Leaders to build confidence and clarity in their organization moving into the future while remaining as invisible as possible.
Abundance Mentality
Nonprofits often function from a “scarcity model” when they feel pressed to compete for resources, specifically regarding funding. Loving Venti models sharing tools and time with one another so all nonprofits can sustain and grow.
Collaborative Strength
Understanding the strength of working alongside and learning from one other, Loving Venti will build connections - leader to leader & consultant to consultant.
Affordability
Loving Venti consulting services are a great ROI. Paying for external support can be daunting for a nonprofit that has a limited budget and we strive to provide deliverables that are practical and will be usable as a nonprofit grows
Human Touch Meets Current Technology
Loving Venti works diligently to balance the use of AI and digital tools while staying focused on the need for personal touchpoints for every nonprofit organization.
Community Advocates
Understanding that nonprofit leaders hold less power than other entities such as funders and boards, and LV has potential influence on these other entities, we can bridge the gap with clarity and compassion by translating, advocating for leaders, and helping boards develop healthy models and practices that nourish leadership.
Tailored Partner Plans
Each nonprofit is at a different stage in its life cycle, leading to unique needs that shape our service plans. Loving Venti will build packages encouraging long-term growth without frustrating leaders with unrealistic goals and impractical tools.
Small, Mighty Impact
Small nonprofits bring enormous value because they are close to the ground, deeply connected to community needs, and often born directly from lived experience. Their flexibility, responsiveness, and cost-effective models allow them to create meaningful impact quickly and with fewer resources.
We are here for you. For however long you need us, whether it’s one project or several. We strive to understand your needs holistically to be available for other projects as they arise. We want to be a part of people-centered transformative work. If you are not sure if your organization is there yet, we would love to walk with you to figure out how to update your leadership style, policies, procedures, programs, systems, and culture to do so.
