About me
In 2007, I graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Public Relations and Journalism with a Minor in Business from Pacific Union College.
Building Better World Together
My mission is to empower nonprofits to maximize potential through thoughtful programs making a positive difference in the communities they serve.
Every nonprofit contains that special spark – a core vision of what a better tomorrow would look like with your programs in full swing. Knowing the end goal versus creating a detailed plan with the steps to achieve it can seem a daunting task. It’s easy to become so overwhelmed that you never take the first step.
This website is designed to be a resource, an oasis of information, to empower you to succeed in growing your nonprofit. Don’t become a cliche or statistic. Roughly 50% of nonprofits hit a metaphorical brick wall in the first 12 months of formation and fail to make a meaningful difference in the years that follow.
“Sharing is caring” is an ideology I hold dear. I developed the Jennifer Nelson Consultant website with as many free and affordable value-packed resources as possible so you can take your nonprofit from fledgling to superstar. Let me be your partner in mission and together we can develop a unique strategy that will help your nonprofit thrive. Some of the key elements all nonprofits should focus on as they plan for the future include:
No two nonprofits are exactly alike, and neither should the ways you serve your audience. Finding the right partner is the first and most critical step to allow your vision to take flight. To date I’ve served over 3,500 unique customers with my expertise in tax-exempt applications, 501c3 reinstatement, fundraising, state compliance, board of directors, private inurnment, international operations, and grant readiness. Allow me to use my over 15 years of experience guiding nonprofits to be successful to help you achieve your vision and take the critical steps needed to be a nonprofit in proper compliance with the IRS and your home state.

My Experience
A Leader in Nonprofit Compliance
By Jennifer Nelson
My roles in the nonprofit sector have helped shape me into a consultant that understands the challenges faced by today’s nonprofit leaders.
My passion to work with nonprofits started during my first summer job during my freshman year in college working as an Executive Assistant for Orlando Central Seventh-Day Adventist Church. What was intended to be a rudimentary role of simple answering phones and printing bulletins transformed into a Development Office Coordinator position where I was able to revisit how the church communicated with its membership. Initially the most pressing function of the role was recruiting weekly talent to complete various portions of the worship service. These weekly calls to different members allowed me to build relationships with the local congregants and learn more about the ways they wanted to connect with the church. My love of graphic design and generating creative copy allowed me to produce more aesthetically pleasing Inside Central Newsletter and Church Bulletins on a weekly basis keeping the congregants informed of programs, special services, and ways to request help from the church. This role while only available to me in the summers, showed me the possibilities of what a passion for service and love of writing can have towards impacting local communities.
I graduated Pacific Union College in 2007 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Public Relations and Journalism along with a Minor in Business Management. My first role out of college was to work as the Executive Assistant to the President of Christian Media International, LLC. The company specialized in Bible Broadcasting in various languages along with pastoral support, church buildings, and providing wells to underserved communities in India. My role required active coordination to ensure that our inventory from China arrived safely in the United States and I worked closely alongside Clare Freight International and Customs Broker Suppliers to ensure we received quality CDs, DVDs, and other Original Merchandise. To maintain engagement for our international programs, I worked with senior staff to expand communication with donors by creating development related materials such as monthly letters and a quarterly newsletter to solicit private donations. I also helped them document their international program’s success by scripting, storyboarding, and producing a three-minute promotional DVD. With my help, Christian Media International has been able to achieve an annual income of approximately $1,000,000.
