WELCOME TO BIZ BESTIES
Because “we know someone” should actually mean something.
Relationships are everything to us at Jorden Anderson Consulting.
Over the years, we’ve had the joy of working alongside some seriously talented people. From bookkeepers and fundraising strategists to governance consultants, marketing pros, and nonprofit growth experts, this network was built through real relationships, not random internet searches.
Some of these partners work specifically with nonprofits. Others serve small businesses, consultants, or for-profit organizations connected to the nonprofit world. Either way, they’re here because we believe they bring clarity, care, and expertise to their work.
Click the category that best fits what you’re looking for, and we’ll point you in the right direction.

A QUICK NOTE FROM OUR TEAM
We only share referrals we genuinely believe in...
Each business listed here operates independently from JAC Grants. Services, pricing, contracts, timelines, and communication are handled directly between you and the partner.
Some links or referrals may result in a referral benefit to JAC Grants. We still encourage every organization to choose the provider, platform, or service that best fits their needs, goals, budget, and capacity.
