Hi, I’m Karen Graham.

Technology promised to make the world a better place, and I’m here to make sure that promise comes true through my work with grantmakers and nonprofit organizations.

My Mission

For technology to make good on its promise of a better world, nonprofits, foundations and other mission-based organizations need technology strategies that amplify their impact. Leaders must feel confident that they are making wise choices about tech tools, policies, and practices. Funders need to make smart investments in technology and grantee capacity. 

What’s my role in this?

  • Helping organizations assess their current state, prioritize technology improvements, and create a roadmap

  • Coaching leaders toward insights about technology strategy and change management

  • Partnering with foundations and other funders to provide training and research

With more than 20 years in senior nonprofit leadership, and a broad knowledge of trends and best practices in technology, leadership, and organizational development, I can be the trusted advisor that helps you navigate tough situations. Maybe you’re thinking, “I don’t know what I don’t know.” Or, “I’m afraid of making a costly mistake.” Or, “My constituents deserve the very best technology has to offer.”

Technology is here for good. I’m here to help.
