With a proven record of success, we can amplify your reach and impact on the community, which also results in stronger foundations, corporations, and nonprofits.

Many organizations choose to work with Jen Klaassens Consulting because of the strong community connections Jen has made. For more than 7 ½ years she was an executive for a family foundation that went way beyond typical grantmaking activities. Jen became actively involved in the nonprofit sector and essentially functioned as the “connector” to help coordinate and facilitate philanthropy in both the for-profit and nonprofit sectors. As an executive for the foundation, Jen was fortunate to meet and work with key individuals and community leaders with hundreds of businesses, foundations and nonprofits. These connections provided the opportunity to gain a better understanding not only of the needs of the community and the nonprofits, but also to learn the interests of the individuals, businesses and foundations that want to help the community. This information was, and is, invaluable in allowing Jen to provide a unique perspective on the populations and communities we serve. This allows her to better coordinate the interests of benefactors with those of the nonprofits.
