About Us
A division of Aly Sterling Philanthropy, Board Catalyst℠ Institute was founded with the strong belief that all successful, high-impact non-profits are guided by boards of equal performance and character.
Our catalyst? All too often new clients have come to us seeking fund development counsel with a single-purpose - to raise more money as soon as possible! While this is entirely possible, for some organizations a quick evaluation uncovers many opportunities to fine tune what matters most to fund development acceleration and sustainability - the health and happiness of your board.
And so, the Board Catalyst℠ Institute was born as a division of Aly Sterling Philanthropy. Clients of the system work directly with professionals with the right skills and experience to help guide your board to success.
