Sound familiar?

Doing life-changing work — without the infrastructure to sustain it.

Too many organizations doing vital work are held back by the same recurring gaps:

Unstable, unpredictable funding and over-reliance on short-term grants.
Boards that observe from the sidelines instead of driving resources.
Weak internal systems that make every fundraising cycle a scramble.
Limited access to high-quality coaching and strategic support.

You don't need another quick fix. You need to move from survival to sustainability.

Here's what we build with you

Four foundations that turn passion into sustainable impact.

A clear strategy

A tailored resource-development plan that diversifies revenue and deepens donor relationships.

An activated board

Confident, accountable directors who become true resource-development partners.

Sustainable systems

Infrastructure, data, and CRM so resources keep coming in — not just one campaign at a time.

Strong leadership

Executive coaching that helps leaders prioritize, plan, and grow with strategic confidence.

What Makes Us Different

Dr. Sharon and Nonprofit Solutions Matter have been a tremendous resource for nonprofits seeking to strengthen their structure, strategy, and impact. She is a woman of wisdom, integrity, and generosity.

Sharon and her team have helped us raise global awareness for our organization. We now have global ambassadors, fundraising infrastructure, an annual resource-development plan, global funders, and a global presence — thanks to the Nonprofit Solutions Matter team, who were also the premier sponsor for our annual tournament.

Rev. Sharon D. Jones, M.Div., Founder & CEO of Nonprofit Solutions Matter

Meet the Founder

Hi, I'm Sharon D. Jones.

I'm a nonprofit strategist, fundraising architect, and organizational-development expert with more than 30 years of experience helping mission-driven organizations move from surviving to thriving — and I've raised over $550 million for nonprofits across the United States and around the world.

Through Nonprofit Solutions Matter, my team and I help organizations build sustainable infrastructure, strengthen and activate their boards, and develop complete resource-development systems — from donor engagement and wealth screening to strategic planning. That work has taken me from Boys & Girls Clubs across the Southeast to faith-based institutions and NGOs in DR Congo, Uganda, Panama, the UK, Dubai, and Canada.

I'm a licensed minister and hold a Master of Divinity from the Samuel DeWitt Proctor School of Theology at Virginia Union University. Signature frameworks like our Donor Acquisition Program, Nonprofit Starter Pack, and Four-Phase Resource Development Plan turn three decades of experience into a clear path your organization can follow.
