Corporations
Realize the full potential of your brand – and make your community a better place at the same time. Authentic and integrated corporate philanthropy practices help create strong reputations, engaged teams, and loyal customers, while also making a big impact on your community. Services include program evaluations and stakeholder assessments, company values exploration, philanthropy program start-up including development of cause platforms and giving policies, and community and employee engagement. Helping companies of all sizes discover the good they can do for their communities and their business, these programs are becoming the rule rather than the exception – offering a powerful way to align corporate purpose with meaningful social impact.

Nonprofits
Nonprofit consulting services that expand your impact – providing consulting in strategic planning and board and leadership development to well-positioned nonprofits across every sector.

Board and leadership development services help nonprofits engage their leaders and grow their missions through proven governance frameworks, leadership coaching, and capacity-building programs designed to create strong, sustainable organizations.

The Nonprofit Store
The Nonprofit Store is Aly Sterling Philanthropy's proprietary e-commerce arm, a standalone digital storefront built on WooCommerce and sold independently of the firm's advisory engagements. It offers a curated line of DIY, downloadable toolkits covering fundraising, donor stewardship, board governance, and case-for-support development, priced individually between $19 and $39. Flagship offerings include guides like "How to Ask Your Donors for Money," "How to Steward Donors," and "Board Member Job Description," alongside bundled options such as the Case for Support Suite and the Ultimate Starter Set. The product is explicitly positioned to "level the playing field," giving smaller, resource-constrained nonprofits access to best-practice frameworks without a full consulting engagement.
