Client Testimonials
Pyramid Model Consortium
“Our not-for-profit organization was experiencing significant growth. The Two Suns team, led by Ashley and Jared, assisted us in considering how best to transform our organization to meet both our current staffing needs, as well consider our future trajectory. Their support avoided simply looking at single parts of our system in isolation but instead provided a wholistic view of our staffing, IT, financial and strategic planning needs while honoring the importance of supporting our organizational culture. Ashley and Jared were both extremely professional and personal throughout the project. While our timelines were tight, they managed the process expertly to keep us track. I would highly recommend the Two Suns team for any non profit looking for organizational support.”

“To be honest, I am torn about leaving this review. Two Suns has been so wonderful to work with that I want to show my appreciation by leaving a raving review, but I don’t want anyone to know about them cause I don't want to share. ◡̈ They are the best; component, knowledgeable, efficient and reliable! Knowing I can fully put my trust in them has been the biggest blessing and relief. They have helped me meet goals, pull out of hard moments, navigate hurdles, fulfilled task out of my wheelhouse, provided high quality, professional guidance and collaboration with awesome results. Every person on their team is top notch!”

“The Two Suns Consulting team came highly recommended and still exceeded our expectations. We worked with Ashley to write our strategic plan, a process our team had historically conducted ourselves. Ashley did an excellent job of allowing us to be heavily involved in the writing process while simultaneously pushing us to develop a plan that we could not have finalized on our own. Jared created an implementation planning tool to greatly assist our board's ability to track objectives, which is a huge asset. In contrast to our heavy involvement with the strategic plan, our team hired Ashley and Nichole to help us with the entire grant writing process. They took a comprehensive and creative approach. Finally, the whole Two Suns Consulting team accommodated our budget constraints as a small nonprofit, giving us helpful and effective recommendations about what to prioritize. We will work with Two Suns Consulting in the future!”

“Ashley and Jared have been an absolute dream to work with! Our organization was at a crossroads - either to put our nonprofit dreams on hold or hire help to ensure progress was made. We decided to take the leap and invest in working with their team. Six months later, we’re so relieved that we did. They did a fantastic job of taking our ideas, visions, and frustrations and turning them into a realistic strategic plan. Their communication was excellent (even when we fell short) and we felt very supported despite significant challenges we faced in the final quarter of 2022. Moving forward, we know we can count on them for professional yet deeply caring support in the form of grant writing, software assistance and general consulting.”

“Ashley’s guidance and leadership with our strategic planning was extremely beneficial to our organization. Her systems allowed us to dial in our goals and prioritize our most important areas of focus. The interviews she conducted with our community stakeholders were extremely professional and we appreciated the time and efforts she put into creating an easy to digest report of her findings.”

“Working with Jared in developing and creating our website for Gallatin Valley CTC has been a pleasure. I learned so much. Working with Kallie to develop our logo has been great. Both have proven that we can achieve so much in such a limited amount of time. The ability to increase our presence in the work we are trying to achieve is amazing. The immediate response to both the logo and website has been so positive that I have already recommended to others in my field to produce this result. Two Suns Consulting is recognized in our community and what we are trying to do to improve the health of our youth. I welcome them as a full partner. They go beyond what is expected. Hope to continue working together.”

"Ashley Schwader and Two Suns Consulting guided the Board through the difficult process of creating a new strategic plan that was ambitious but attainable. Without her organizational, facilitating, documentation and time management skills the projected outcome of our two shortened days of work creating our strategic plan would not have occurred given the time limitations. Her patience, focus and guidance enabled the Board to successfully complete the plan and approve it unanimously. Thank you Ashley and Two Suns Consulting!”

“Ashley and Jared moved quickly to help our organization under an extremely tight deadline and delivered beyond expectations. Ashley was quick to identify exactly what we needed and the path to get there. Her professionalism left me with no question that we would meet our goal. She provided our nonprofit with both the information we were seeking and that which we didn’t even know we needed. Jared’s insight and analysis continues to be helpful and I am so grateful for his timely response to questions. The final report was, and continues to be, an asset for our nonprofit. I would not hesitate to recommend this team. As our nonprofit moves forward with rebranding, we are thrilled with the professional expertise they provided, and the direction we are heading. Thank you Ashley and Jared for helping us Grow Wild!”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Ashley and Two Suns Consulting over the past year. Ashley is fun to work with and is brilliant at what she does! Her business consulting expertise helped me through two grant reports by collecting and streamlining data and editing our narrative to showcase our organization in the best light. Her attention to detail and communication throughout the process was greatly appreciated. I have hired Two Suns Consulting to continue to work with us on our grant proposals and reports. I highly recommend Ashley to help with all of your business consulting needs.”
