Hi! I'm Karen Eber Davis

I’m passionate about partnering with vision-driven nonprofit CEOs to unlock their organization’s full potential by closing the gap between where they are now and their vision.

With over 30 years of experience and insights from working with thousands of nonprofits, I’ve seen firsthand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with nonprofit leadership. (Heros!)

My mission:

  • Provide tailored, practical solutions
  • Eliminate barriers such as unclear strategies, disengaged boards, revenue shortfalls, and leadership challenges.

As the author of 7 Nonprofit Income Streams and Let’s Raise Nonprofit Millions Together, you’ll have access to innovative tactics and deep sector knowledge.

When I’m not helping nonprofit leaders achieve their visions, you can find me exploring new recipes, cities, or art media.

Karen is a deliberate, innovative, and insightful thought leader, which is so apparent in identifying issues and her approach to resolutions of those issues. I truly welcomed and appreciated her counsel and guidance in improving the effectiveness of our board.

Karen has an uncanny ability to convene nonprofit stakeholders–board members, donors, staff leadership, clients–and help them discover the common thread that galvanizes a fresh commitment to a mission they can all share. With a deep understanding and respect for each person’s point of view, she brings clarity to sticky situations and breaks through barriers that seem to be insurmountable.

The 'About Karen' Section That Checks All the Boxes

Before founding her firm, Karen Eber Davis demonstrated her ability to turn visions into reality through several impactful roles. She developed the Sarasota County Community Development Block Grant Program, transforming it from infancy to an award-winning initiative. Under her leadership, the program received the National Association of Counties National Affordable Housing Award for the Down Payment Assistance Program, which helped over 1,800 families realize their dreams of homeownership.

At the Florida Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs, Karen developed the division’s first audit program, showcasing her ability to transform an idea into reality. Earlier, at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Tampa, she organized senior, youth, children’s groups, and family activities, bringing the congregation’s vision to life. Through her youth staffing work with the Florida Synod of the Lutheran Church in America, she supported youth ministries in 120 congregations, helping to fulfill a vision of robust youth engagement.

Karen holds a Master’s Degree in Business Administration (MBA) from the University of South Florida, where she focused on finance and marketing as a Graduate Fellow. She graduated magna cum laude from the University of Connecticut with a bachelor’s degree in psychology, contributing to an award-winning research project on self-esteem, (a joint effort with another student,) and children’s concepts of sexual identity, guided by a professor’s vision.
