“Sullivan Consulting developed and implemented a survey that provided helpful insights into human behavior relative to conservation of natural areas. The Nature Conservancy’s staff and partners are encouraged by the findings, and we intend to repeat the survey regularly to monitor public sentiment towards conservation.”

“Santina Sullivan served as an excellent leader and facilitator for the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum’s strategic plan. By gathering input from key stakeholders, members, the community, volunteers, and staff, a holistic approach was taken to fully evaluate all areas of the museum. The strategic plan has guided the museum forward and has helped to raise the caliber of our institution and to grow with intent and a vision for the future.”

“Working with Santina has been a transformative experience for our small nonprofit. Her strategic planning expertise provided us with a clear roadmap to achieve our dream of securing our own facility and expanding our funding sources. Thanks to her guidance, we developed a focused, actionable plan that aligned our goals with practical steps, and her support was instrumental every step of the way. We are thrilled to have accomplished milestones we once thought were out of reach, including doubling our budget within two and a half years of working with her. We highly recommend her services to any nonprofit looking to grow and make a bigger impact.”

“Santina is an excellent strategic planner and helped the organization I worked with align critical goals with key funding opportunities. Her process was extremely detailed and required key participation from the Board of Directors as well as outside stakeholders. The plan helped us leverage more than $3 million dollars.”

– Janine Betsey, Executive Director | Merchants Affordable Housing Corporation

“I was President of the Christamore House Guild and a member of the Board when Tina was brought in as the Interim Executive Director at Christamore House. Tina is an amazing leader. She took a situation that looked impossible and turned it around for the better. She was extremely detail oriented in regards to numbers and the bottom line. Tina also had unbelievable personnel skills in dealing with the staff. Most of the staff was against bringing in a consultant at the beginning, due to the situation, and all were sorry to see her go when the situation was resolved. I would be honored to work with Tina in the future.”

– Lynne Bir, Christamore House Guild | Community Outreach Coordinator at ATHLETIC ANNEX

“The Board of Art With a Heart engaged Tina to conduct a Capacity Building survey. We charged her with administering a broad sweeping review of all facets of our Organization. She had effective contact with our clients, funders, Board, volunteers and staff. At every turn Tina was respectful, engaging and knowledgeable. She was able to collect feedback from each group, analyze the results and effectively convey her findings to multiple levels of our Organization. I can pay her no higher complement than to say that she was able to make everyone involved in her process feel as though she was truly trying to help make Art With a Heart a better Organization, in all areas. I wholeheartedly recommend her services.”

– Michael E. Bogers, Board Chair | Art With a Heart Indianapolis

“Working with Santina was an excellent experience! She understood the museum’s need to create a strong three-year strategic plan that would set the stage for our organization’s success and worked diligently with the community, stakeholders, volunteers, staff, and Board of Trustees. The final plan that was adopted by the Board included a new mission and vision statement, key strengths, and pathways to enhance our public presence, earned income, educational goals, development activities, and much more. We continue to use our strategic plan as our guide through 2023 and all of our efforts are paying off.”

– Brandon J. Anderson, Executive Director & CEO | Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum
