It’s been a pleasure to work with Andrew in a variety of ways since we were first introduced many years ago. He is easy to talk to and can relate to challenges in the field of fiscal sponsorship. He understands the perspective of both the sponsor, funder and project so his problem-solving skills enable an organization to navigate matters while keeping the interests of all parties at the forefront of the solution. His in-depth knowledge on tech platforms has been incredibly valuable to SEE, as we could not have finalized the Google Workspace integration without his services.

Schulman Consulting helped our organization quickly reframe a fiscal sponsorship program that provides critical support to our nonprofit sector through independent, reliable sponsorship. Andrew took apart what was originally set up as a temporary sponsorship plan and put it back together as a long-term, sustainable program, updating terms and functions. Our board’s response: “Excellent.” Andrew helped our organization reframe a money-bleeding, temporary sponsorship program as a long-term sustainable venture so that we can continue to support great nonprofit startups. He applied smart operational and financial analysis and was able not only to address the operational needs, but help us think through where sponsorship fit in our strategy and strengthen it as part of our mission. Andrew is easy to work with, highly informed in fiscal sponsorship and he brings a broader nonprofit business perspective to the task. That can help not only fiscal sponsors but organizations preparing to leave sponsorship and strike out on their own as independent nonprofits.

Andrew was extremely helpful during a time of transition for our organization. He very clearly laid out options for us, thoroughly explaining their pluses and minuses. His guidance was instrumental in our transition. On top of the excellent advice, he was super communicative and easy to work with. I strongly recommend working with Andrew to understand the landscape of fiscal sponsorship and what may work best for your organization’s needs.

Our senior team just went over the Separation Readiness Audit Report. It is SO helpful. Excellent, excellent framing for our team conversation, and sets us on a productive track. Thank you so much!”

Andrew generated a number of options and one especially strong Model A fiscal sponsorship match for our fledgling collective impact initiative. In addition to ensuring our technical needs and time frame constraints would be met, he understood that our effort had a certain ethos that also needed/deserved the right partner. The value of the latter cannot be overstated.
