Creative Mindset Consulting

Advancing Great Organizations


Who Are We?

Creative Mindset Consulting (CMC) was founded in 2017 by Principal Consultant, Andrew Kirkland to provide exclusive support to nonprofits. We are experts in nonprofit organizational management. We were founded with the belief that every non-profit; regardless of budget size should have access to quality consulting services. We are rooted in the belief that every organization wants to serve its constituents to the best of their ability.

What Makes Us Unique?

We are non-profit believers! CMC consultants have exclusively spent their careers leading non-profits. We understand the needs and desires of non-profits. We are also firm believers that non-profits cannot afford high consulting cost for low results. Therefore, our cost is fixed to ensure that all organizations regardless of size can have access to high quality services.

CMC engages with local, regional, and national non-profits. For the past two years, we have focused our services in DC and Prince George’s County. CMC has increased the number of youth served, increased annual budget size, and was able to launch new programs to serve the community.
