ABOUT US
Our Founder
Sue Moore Fenske works with nonprofit boards and executive leaders to turn commitment to their mission into clear direction, effective leadership, and measurable progress.
With more than 25 years of experience in nonprofit and for-profit leadership, Sue has served as an executive director, development director, business owner, consultant, and nonprofit board member and officer. She understands the demands of leading an organization—and the difference a prepared, engaged board can make.
Sue founded ElevateNPT after seeing too many essential nonprofits struggle because their leaders lacked the preparation, structure, and support needed to govern effectively and move their missions forward. As a nonprofit executive, she experienced the frustration of knowing her organization needed outside expertise but lacked the budget to engage a consultant. That experience shaped her commitment to making consulting services accessible and affordable for small and mid-sized nonprofits.
Sue Moore Fenske, MBA
Founder & CEO
Through strategic planning, board development, and executive leadership coaching, she equips leaders to clarify responsibilities, ask better questions, make informed choices, and follow through on their commitments.
Her approach is direct, collaborative, and grounded in experience. She challenges clients to examine what is holding them back, facilitates the conversations that matter, and guides them in building practices they can sustain long after an engagement ends.
Sue holds an MBA and bachelor’s degrees in engineering science and communications from the University of Louisville and Stephens College. She is a Certified Succession Planning Consultant through Third Sector Company and holds certificates in Fund Raising Management from IUPUI and The Strategic Planning Process from MindEdge.
