Creating Community Consulting
Creating Stronger Communities
Rural leaders are doing some of the hardest work in America with the thinnest resources, the fewest staff, and funders who don't always understand what it takes to build something lasting in a small community.
Creating Community Consulting has more than 30 years of experience embedded in Greater Minnesota and North Dakota. Since launching in 2022 we've helped organizations like yours leverage more than $14 million for transformational community change. Our approach to developing communities or organizations has proven successful through authentic community engagement, needs assessments, strategic planning, capital campaigns and grant writing.
We live out our values the same way you do, being rooted in the communities, in authentic relationship with the people most impacted, and committed to solutions that last long after we're gone.
And when your team is stretched thin our tools and trainings, leveraging AI to the best of it's ability and built specifically for rural nonprofits, help you operate with the capacity of a fully-staffed organization, without losing your voice.

Megan did a wonderful job of building trust, making the material approachable, and helped create a strong foundation
"Working with Megan was wonderful over the last 6 months or so to help lead our statewide hunger coalition through it's first RBA process. This was very new for our coalition, and Megan did a wonderful job of building trust, making the material approachable, and helped create a strong foundation for this coalition moving forward." - Nancy Carrivau, Great Plains Food Bank

Such a skilled facilitator who helped bring the direction structure of our organization
“I can recommend Karen for any organization, big or small, who want to conduct a comprehensive, thoughtful, and action-oriented strategic planning. Our program was lucky to be connected with such a skilled facilitator who helped bring the direction and structure of our organization into better focus. We look forward to working with her again in the future!”
