Steffanie facilitated a half-day board retreat for our organization, and her guidance was exactly what we needed. As a smaller nonprofit in the process of rebuilding our board, we were looking for clarity, alignment, and renewed energy. Steffanie created a welcoming space, brought everyone into the conversation, and ensured each board member felt engaged and empowered. Her ability to draw out meaningful dialogue and help our board understand how to best support the organization has already made a positive impact. We are incredibly grateful for her expertise and highly recommend her to any organization seeking stronger board cohesion and direction.

Steffanie Bonner’s support and guidance was essential as I worked through the development of our credit union’s foundation. We were navigating major
structural decisions-especially around whether to establish ourselves as a private foundation or a public charity, and whether the foundation could help support future credit union membership growth.
I wholeheartedly recommend Steffanie to any credit union working to establish or strengthen its foundation. Her knowledge is outstanding-but it’s her steady presence, her ability to anticipate what you need, and her genuine care for her clients that truly set her apart.

Steffanie came into the credit union foundation space with a solid background in nonprofit and foundation leadership. Over time, she thoughtfully applied that experience within the credit union environment, taking the initiative to understand regulatory expectations, operational boundaries, and the strategic role a foundation can play in extending a credit union’s mission and community impact. Steffanie is steady, collaborative, and deeply mission-driven. She creates an environment where leaders feel supported and aligned, balancing strategic vision with disciplined execution.
I recommend Steffanie without hesitation to any credit union seeking to establish or strengthen a foundation. She brings nonprofit depth, well-developed credit union expertise, professionalism, and integrity to every engagement.

She has a clear understanding of how a credit union foundation can extend the credit union’s mission and impact while improving the credit union’s brand.

Steffanie partnered with the Tulsa Air and Space Museum (TASM) during our Ascending Together expansion initiative, a major gift campaign centered on the construction of a new aircraft ramp and hangar. From the onset, Steffanie brought a depth and breadth of experience that proved invaluable. She quickly understood both the scope of the project and the culture of our organization. As a strategic thinker, she helped us refine our case for support and articulate a compelling, mission-driven message that resonated with donors and the broader Tulsa community.

Beyond her professional expertise, Steffanie is a collaborative and thoughtful partner. It was truly a pleasure to work alongside her as we advanced our fundraising goals. Her insight, professionalism, and dedication significantly strengthened our campaign efforts.

When nonprofit board members step away from their careers and families to participate in the important work of strategic planning, it is essential that their time is invested wisely and leads to meaningful results. In my 20 years of bringing nonprofit boards together for strategic planning retreats, Steffanie Bonner stands out as one of the best facilitators I have worked with. She has a remarkable ability to guide a board through defining its goals while skillfully facilitating a thoughtful and productive strategic planning process. Her experience, tools, and facilitation style brought clarity and focus to our retreat, enabling our board and staff to identify key priorities, clarify objectives, and establish a clear path forward. We left the retreat with actionable next steps, achievable timelines, and a board that felt confident and energized to move the plan into action.

Steffanie Bonner provided consulting services to us for several months while we were short staffed in fund development. She stepped right in and hit the ground running with a handful of key deliverables, all of which were executed with high quality, service and professionalism. Her expertise in the area of fund development was instrumental to our success during this time.
