At times, our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

EXPERIENCE.


 

Kalyn Culler Cohen, PhD: Founder & Lead Consultant

Kalyn has been consulting with nonprofit executive directors and small-business managers on strategy and increasing leadership capacity since 1991. She holds a doctorate in Planning from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and has been adjunct faculty at Bainbridge Graduate Institute, where she has taught courses on Business and Social Justice.

In addition to general consulting, Kalyn is nationally known for her work on the start-up and growth of social-purpose businesses focused on quality jobs in low wage sectors. She has worked with social-purpose businesses in sectors such as health care, childcare, landscaping and “eco-cleaning.” Following a core set of businesses from start-up into maturity has given Kalyn unusual breadth in a field that is relatively young. She also assists nonprofits in designing efforts to spread or replicate effective programs and has served as an external evaluator on Federal grants.

Today, Cindy resides in southwestern Colorado. There she leads a small company offering administrative services and, through Kindle, is teaching about and consulting on fundraising through social media, including the opportunity Colorado Gives Day offers La Plata County nonprofits.
