Nonprofits We Admire From Afar: Village of Wisdom

In our Nonprofits We Admire From Afar series, we’re proud to highlight organizations making meaningful impact in their communities—especially those whose missions align with Quantum Leap Consulting’s dedication to empowering individuals and families.

This week, we’re excited to feature a nonprofit devoted to affirming and protecting Black Genius by creating culturally affirming learning environments for Black and Brown children—led by the love and wisdom of their families.

At QLC, we believe in the power of storytelling for nonprofits. As we help organizations improve data collection and implement systems like Salesforce, we remind our clients: a compelling story can rally supporters to your cause. Data helps you build that story, document your impact, and pave the way for long-term success.

When we evaluate a nonprofit’s online presence, we look for:

• Mission/Vision
• Who They Serve
• Programs
• Impact Report
• Clear Call to Action

This week, we’re thrilled to highlight Village of Wisdom!
