At MissionSpark, we believe that organizations doing the most meaningful work—serving communities, advancing equity, lifting up voices—deserve trusted, expert support to grow and thrive.

MissionSpark was founded by Terry R. Vodery and Dr. Nigel Black, two nonprofit leaders who’ve spent decades in the field—raising funds, leading teams, building programs, and navigating the real challenges that come with mission-driven work. Along the way, we kept seeing the same thing: small to mid-sized nonprofits, churches, and schools doing incredible work, but without the resources or guidance they truly needed.

We started MissionSpark to change that.

We built a consulting firm that’s not just full-service, but full-hearted. One that brings deep expertise without the big-agency feel. One that understands your day-to-day realities, and works with you side-by-side to create strategies that actually fit.

Whether you’re trying to get a grant across the finish line, build a clearer plan for the future, or just need someone to help carry the load—we’re here. Our promise is simple:

We meet you where you are, and we help you move forward—with purpose, clarity, and care.

Because your mission matters. And we’re here to help spark what’s next.
