Who We Are

Our team is made up of passionate experts who are dedicated to
supporting the needs of nonprofit leaders.

Our Story

The inspiration for Cedarstone came from one friend helping another establish a nonprofit in the early nineties. We witnessed firsthand how much more effective nonprofit leaders can be in advancing their mission when someone comes alongside to take on the burden of operations for their organization.

Cedarstone was formed in 2001 when another close friend and nonprofit leader asked for that helping hand. Initially, we provided basic support services such as donation processing and payroll to organizations. As our clients grew and their needs changed, we responded by expanding our services to include strategic planning, executive coaching, and data analytics focused on the overall health and development of missional organizations.

Through the years, we have remained dedicated to building deep relationships and fostering trust with our clients. Today, Cedarstone is a trusted partner to international nonprofit founders, CEOs, and boards of directors, providing integrated services that help organizations achieve their goals and make a lasting impact in the world.
