Tawnia Wise is the founder and CEO of WISE Resource Development (WISE), a nonprofit consulting firm based in Dallas, Texas. Her dream of a career in social justice began as a reaction to growing up as a resident of Section 8 housing and recipient of public benefits in the suburbs of Denver, Colorado. After spending nearly two decades helping nonprofits secure the resources needed to live out their missions, she wanted to deepen her commitment and passion by transforming nonprofits into more effective social justice agents. In 2014, Tawnia launched WISE and quickly became one of the most sought-after consultants in Dallas. Known as someone who could marry strategy with tactical support for tangible fundraising results, Tawnia began expanding WISE and creating a firm of talented and cause-focused consultants to meet the demand for services. Today, her firm is hired by funders to build capacity for start-up organizations, by large nonprofits to supplement and support their in-house talent and by nonprofits of all sizes to forge a dedicated partnership with a consultant who understands how to leverage their assets and strengths for fundraising success. Tawnia’s debut book, Become a Nonprofit Pro: 9 Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them, encompasses the most frequent advice and insights she gives to her clients who are looking to level up their organization’s impact. Tawnia is part of a movement to transform “sage from the stage” nonprofit consulting. By meeting organizations where they are with tactical support and strategic guidance, WISE helps them develop greater levels of efficiency and effectiveness.
