About Us
Justin P. Clark – Principal and Co-Founder
Justin (he, him) has more than twenty years of nonprofit experience, with expertise in online fundraising, digital communications, and data management. Justin helps organizations connect their communication strategy to their income development needs. This often involves developing or assessing current income development plans, integrating fundraising messages into website, email, and social media communication, and assessing data management outcomes so that nonprofits can make informed decisions. Effective and efficient communication helps nonprofits reach more people and ensure their income goals are met.
Before starting Social Change Consulting, Justin worked as a Community Income Director at the American Cancer Society and was responsible for multi-year income development and communication strategies for five business units generating $2.65 million in annual revenue.
When he’s not on the clock, Justin is exploring London, running, listening to too many podcasts, drinking coffee, learning Spanish, attempting to learn football/soccer, and watching his eternally disappointing Los Angeles Clippers. He is on the Board of Directors for Jackson Orthopedic Foundation. Follow Justin on Twitter or connect with him on LinkedIn.

Why Us
We Get Results
When starting a new project, we’ll work with you to outline the goals and objectives that align with your specific needs. This not only provides transparency, but also ensures that you have metrics to evaluate our work.
A few examples of the results of our work:
- When creating a year-end giving campaign, SCC helped a client increase the number of donations in Q4 over the year before by 250%, the amount of income by 211%, and the number of recurring gifts by 320%.
- By strengthening data capture at volunteer events, incorporating digital sign-ups, and cleaning up data integrity, SCC helped a client grow their email list 840% over four years. This process helped increase their volunteer participation at community events by 370% over that time.
- By designing an organizational style guide and templates for documents, flyers, and presentations, we saved a client over 140 hours of staff time and increased engagement on their social media by 35%.
Our Clients Love Working with Us
Even though most of our projects are short-term, our clients keep coming back! We consistently hear positive feedback about our work, including that clients love having us as an extension of their team. They also appreciate that we cater to their specific communication style needs and that we stay in touch about the status, progress, and goals of our projects.
Data from our projects include:
- 84% of clients hire SCC for additional support after our initial project ends.
- 100% of clients stated in a post-project poll that they would recommend working with SCC to a friend or colleague at another nonprofit organization.
We Understand Your Budget (Or Lack Thereof)
Prior to joining Social Change Consulting, 80% of the folks on our team worked in a leadership role at nonprofit organizations. We know what it’s like to manage nonprofit budgets and hire outside contractors to support our team. We know there are limitations, especially during a global pandemic and economic recession.
We work hard to ensure that our projects are budget-friendly. We create customized proposals that can be project-based or hourly-based, depending upon your needs. We have also created targeted micro-projects to help with needs that are especially important for nonprofits trying to keep their work going during these challenging times.
Your Mission Is Our Mission
We are dedicated to supporting the people and organizations that are improving the world. Our clients create social change. And we love helping them. If you’re interested in working with us, please send us a note at info@socialchangeconsulting.org or fill out this form.
