Experienced strategic consultants dedicated to empowering nonprofits across Maine.
Your Mission Matters
So does how you lead it.
Camden Hills Partners brings experienced nonprofit leadership to the table when organizations face important decisions, ambitious goals, or complicated challenges.
We work alongside nonprofit executives and boards to strengthen organizations, raise more money, navigate change, and turn good intentions into meaningful progress.
What brought you here?
Every nonprofit is different. But the challenges facing their leaders often sound surprisingly familiar.
We need to raise more money.
Your fundraising shouldn't depend on another event, another appeal, or the same handful of donors.

REAL-WORLD
nonprofit experience
We've sat in the chair.
We've managed organizations, raised money, worked with boards, led teams, navigated transitions, facilitated difficult conversations, and dealt with the unexpected challenges that never appear in a strategic plan. That experience changes how we consult.
We don't arrive with a predetermined answer or leave you with a report nobody has time to implement.
We listen. We ask difficult questions. We help identify what is actually getting in the way, and then work alongside you to do something about it.
Because good consulting shouldn't create more work, it should create progress.
Good consulting should leave something behind.
Stronger organizations. More confident leaders. Better fundraising. Clearer direction.
What Our Clients Say
Working with Camden Hills Partners was an excellent experience. Our organization was facing a very challenging period, and their team helped us reorganize, identify key areas for improvement, and develop a clear path forward. In addition to addressing the concerns we initially brought to them, they also identified underlying issues we had not recognized internally. Their insight, professionalism, and guidance made a significant impact on our organization.
J. Forester
Executive Director, Humane Society Waterville Area
CHP offered invaluable assistance to our organization. They make big tasks seem easy, and no task is too trivial.
Their range of experience in nonprofit management is hard to beat, and their depth and breadth of expertise on everything from fundraising to board development is an invaluable resource for any organization.
S. Reider
Board President, Camden Rockpiort Historical Society
Shelly quickly grasped the issues facing our organization. Her preparation for the 4- hour facilitated session with our board was thorough. We met our goals for the session because of Shelly’s superb facilitation skills and her structured approach that focused on the key questions we needed to answer. Her written session summary and recommendations have continued to guide us.
