HELPING MISSION-DRIVEN LEADERS
SPEAK UP. STAND OUT. DRIVE REAL CHANGE
The Wallace Edge is a values-forward, human-centered professional practice serving nonprofits, coalitions, and mission-driven organizations. Get the edge to cut through noise, clarify strategy, build capacity, and follow through.
What I Do
Strategic Planning That Sticks
Manageable, values-aligned plans that teams actually follow.


Volunteer Programs That Work
Turn supporters into leaders with scalable, people-first infrastructure.


Advocacy & Storytelling Training
Transform “I could never” to “Here’s what I believe," with speaker coaching and advocacy trainings that unlock real voices.
Grant Writing & Revenue Strategy
Smart strategy + the right words to secure funding from local, corporate, and foundation partners.
You don’t need another bloated strategy doc. You need a plan you’ll actually use.
Let’s make something that sticks.

E.J. was thoughtful about who to bring into the press conversations and how to frame the narrative. He made sure I had the right background for interviews and handled prep in a way that respected my time, strengthened the message, and made sure the right messages were front and center.

E.J. is a forward-thinking strategic thinker, who leads with his heart, listens well, and knows how to build trust. Whether in development, project management, or community partnerships, EJ is an asset to any charity or organization, and I strongly recommend him.
