WHO WE ARE
At Resiliency Blueprint, we help nonprofit leaders develop sustainable organizations that strengthen the communities they serve. We work with leaders to create a plan for organizational change and community transformation.
Community-based organizations are meeting the critical needs of the most vulnerable and neglected among us. The leaders of these organizations are well-positioned to serve their communities, but who do the leaders turn to when they need support? We understand that even the most committed leaders with deep knowledge of their communities sometimes need help with operations and program implementation.
That’s where we come in.
WE CAN HELP YOU TO:
- Troubleshoot minor challenges
- Pivot in the face of a major stumbling block
- Connect to and brainstorm with peers who understand your struggles

LOIS NEMBHARD
CHIEF RESILIENCE OFFICER
I have spent my career in different environments including city government, local and international nonprofits, and leading federal grant programs, all with the goal of improving outcomes for under-resourced communities. I have extensive experience designing and implementing programs, developing processes and systems to enhance organizational capacity, and in all phases of grantmaking.
I love providing training and technical assistance to nonprofit leaders to design and refine systems, identify outcomes, and measure impact. With my expertise in writing grant requirements and reviewing and approving grants, I am also able to provide coaching in grantwriting and preparing programs to be grant-ready.
Over the years I have volunteered with various organizations and causes and currently serve on the boards of a nonprofit and a faith-based organization. I am passionate about improving the lives of children and families in under-resourced communities and am committed to strengthening the capacity of the nonprofit organizations that serve them.

I’ve spent more than 30 years working in or providing leadership and organizational development support to nonprofit organizations. I’ve helped build the capacity of local, national, and international organizations. I enjoy building and supporting high potential organizations and leaders.
I am a coach, consultant, and trainer; my work has focused on social and economic equity through initiatives addressing education and workforce development, cultural competence in teacher education, access to higher education and jobs for disadvantaged youth, health disparities, and racial equity. I’ve worked in all areas of organizational capacity with extensive work in program development, communications, planning and strategy, and fundraising. I bring a DEI lens to all of my work.
A true believer in the ability of nonprofits to change communities, I also volunteer with youth, education, and workforce development organizations.
