About the Founder
I’m Josh Kilgas, and I’ve worked across the nonprofit sector—as a staff member, executive leader, board member, board chair, and volunteer. I’ve seen the pressure that comes with leading a mission, managing people, and moving an organization forward when the stakes are high and resources are limited.
In every role, I kept seeing the same thing: leaders trying to do too much with too little support. That’s what led me to create Solutions for Changemakers. This work is rooted in my hands-on experience and deepened through my Master of Public Administration, where I focused on nonprofit leadership and management.
Today, I work alongside nonprofit leaders and boards to provide practical guidance, strategic clarity, and a space to think out loud. With a small but mighty team behind me, we’re building a practice that supports the people doing the hardest and most meaningful work. If you’re carrying a lot, leading through complexity, and looking for a partner who understands this space, I’m glad you’re here.
