About the Founder
I’m Josh Kilgas, and my journey in the nonprofit sector has been diverse and deeply rewarding. From hands-on roles to executive leadership and board service, I’ve seen firsthand the unique challenges nonprofit leaders face. You raise your hand when others don’t, taking on the most complex issues we face—issues that other sectors aren’t designed to address. You tirelessly lead your organizations, serving those left behind and enhancing the quality of life in our communities. While you face those wicked external problems, you also face the organizational challenges that come with being a leader.
However, in my various roles, I’ve repeatedly seen leaders and organizations without the support and resources they need and deserve. This inspired me to create Solutions for Changemakers to help organizations and their leaders pave clearer paths and provide the support necessary to create lasting change in our communities.I’m here to support you, the Changemakers, on the front line. Together, we can navigate these complexities and build a stronger, more effective sector. Your success is our success, and we’re in this together.
