Jennifer Chalos & Associates partners with nonprofits to strengthen fundraising, leadership, and long-term impact. We work with organizations of all sizes and across sectors—supporting special projects or serving as an outsourced development office over extended engagements.

We meet organizations where they are and help them move forward with clarity, confidence, and results.

Let’s start with your story. Contact us today to explore how we can help you reach your goals and expand your impact.
We are more than a consulting firm—we are a thought partner and strategic advisor, working alongside you and your team to shape, support, and advance your mission and goals. As experienced fundraisers and philanthropic advisors, we bring people together—boards, staff, donors, and community partners—to build trust-based, long-term relationships that fuel sustainable impact.
​
We challenge our clients and the nonprofit sector to evolve with intention, innovate responsibly, and invest in leadership at every level. Our work is collaborative and tailored, helping organizations strengthen capacity, grow with confidence, and prepare for what’s next. Along the way, we connect you to like-minded peers, trusted leaders, and funding partners, creating opportunities for learning, collaboration, and shared progress.
​
We believe philanthropy is relational, dynamic, and deeply human, and that strong communities are built together.
​
Join us. We are committed to this work for the long haul and look forward to partnering with you as you build a stronger future for your organization and the communities you serve.
