Impactful. Dedicated. Bold.

Kirstie has 15+ years of movement experience, from traveling the country to hit the doors to doubling budgets for movement organizations.

After Kirstie received 23 emails in 6 months asking for help building thriving cultures, distributed organizing models, and fundraising suites, she took a leap. She left her 9-5 job and founded Build Power Strategies. It’s the best decision she’s ever made.

People hire Kirstie for a range of reasons, from building powerful fundraising suites to hiring their next leader to overhauling data operations to creating a more human-focused culture to providing gap support when their current fundraising leader takes another opportunity or goes on parental leave. One client described her as the person you call when you don’t think what you want to do is possible—and then she shows you the way.

She’s been described by others as a bold leader who agitates our organizations to build the world we want right now. She has a history of totally transforming fundraising and organizing programs and empowering leaders to take decisive action in the face of uncertainty.

Kirstie doesn’t work with the big guys. She doesn’t work with organizations that support the status quo. She just works with and for us, because she knows that we can win the world we deserve in our lifetime. This is a consulting firm for our movement.
