Our Mission

Fieldstone Alliance works to strengthen the performance of the nonprofit sector.

Fieldstone Alliance has a twenty-six year history of providing consulting, publishing, training, and research and demonstration projects that help nonprofits, funders, networks, and communities achieve greater impact.

Through our consulting services, we help organizations, collaborations, networks, and other joint efforts become more effective and increase impact. Customers include grantmakers and grantmaking affinity groups, large-scale initiatives, intermediaries, networks, associations, and collaboratives.

We serve individual leaders, board members, staff, and volunteers within the nonprofit sector through training, books, and articles.

We continually research new promising practices. At the same time, we work to package established effective practices so that nonprofits everywhere can quickly benefit from them. And, we evaluate our own processes and publications to be sure that they deliver the results we promise.

The net impact of this combination of services is a stronger nonprofit sector.

Our work is collaborative in style, tailored in approach, and effective in results. We are known for focused, effective, and accessible service and products delivered with passion and commitment.

Fieldstone Alliance began operations as an independent organization in June 2005 after spinning off from the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation, which housed us for twenty-three years. We are an independent 501(c)3, incorporated in Minnesota with a national board of directors.
