What our nonprofit partners say about Giant Squid Group’s Work
“This year I’ve continued working with Catherine as a nonprofit coach and my team has attended nearly all of her many free Nonprofit Lunch ‘n Learns which have been invaluable to the growth of a variety of aspects in our organization.
Throughout her coaching, free nonprofit programming, and work with our Board, Catherine demonstrates a gentle leadership that inspires and holds us accountable as well as her deep appreciation for the work of her clients which helps me grow as a leader and nonprofit professional myself. With Catherine, you get not only her a wealth of information, but the heart behind it.”
- Stephanie Powell, H.E.L.P.

“I was stalled out and frustrated with my nonprofit that I had once been overwhelmingly passionate about. Catherine not only pulled me out of my slump but re-energized me on my mission with income increasing ideas, resources for pinch points in my nonprofit, and helpful brainstorming sessions that helped take my creativity to a higher level while still being focused on my unique audience.
Catherine has a special way of coaching that isn't a set system but rather guiding your ideas to more successful paths and more lucrative outcomes. Catherine's guidance has put my nonprofit on a path from disorganized hobby cause to quickly scaling, mission-driven business to help those in need.”
-Lauren Lovejoy, Lyme Warrior

After each of our meetings I am fired up and ready to get work done. Catherine has been a mentor and a catalyst towards my organizations growth! Her expertise, dedication and passion is unmatched!”
