ABOUT
Wheaten Sterling is committed to supporting organizations by providing strategic planning, development (fundraising), marketing, communications, financial planning, and other services. While some organizations may have internal staff who can support business or planning functions as part of their role, every organization can benefit from an outside perspective and guidance with planning and business management. Small and mid-sized organizations may not be able to afford to hire staff to perform planning and business functions and they feel they cannot afford consulting services for strategic planning that is critical to moving their organization forward.
