About Us

Elevated Impact was founded to help organizations move from surviving to thriving. 

Our mission is to equip organizations with clarity, structure, and collaborative systems that elevate teams, strengthen operations, and expand capacity for impact.

Meet Our Founder & CEO

Jenna has spent the past 10 years working across operations, HR, project/event management, and stakeholder engagement, with a strong focus on helping small organizations and businesses build the systems they need to grow. She has developed a deep understanding of how small teams operate, what they need to succeed, and how to design processes that support long-term sustainability. After working with 3 start ups, she is uniquely positioned to help small nonprofits and businesses scale.

Jenna is passionate about empowering teams, creating clarity, and helping organizations move from reactive to strategic. She is always looking for ways to untangle complexity, align systems with business goals, and put practical solutions in place that actually work. If there’s chaos, she's excited to help bring some order to it!

Holding a master’s degree in organizational leadership and a SHRM-CP certification, Jenna is a lifelong learner. Outside of work, you’ll likely find her watching documentaries, reading with her book club, geeking out over astrophysics, or playing volleyball and kickball with Stonewall Detroit.

What Makes Us Different?

At Elevated Impact, we focus on small to medium businesses and nonprofits, building systems that support growth, sustainability, and mission-driven results. Each service is tailored to your organization’s unique needs — because one size never fits all.

Our Ideal Client

Elevated Impact’s ideal client is a small to medium-sized nonprofit, organization, or business that’s growing in mission or impact but feeling the strain of limited systems, staff capacity, or structure. They’re ready to professionalize their operations — without losing the heart and authenticity that drives their work.

Key Characteristics

  • Budget Range: Typically operates on an annual budget between $100K and $10 million.

  • Team Size: Lean internal staff — often 2–25 employees — wearing multiple hats.

  • Growth Stage: Experiencing organizational change, expansion, or transition (e.g., new leadership, scaling programs, preparing for larger funding).

  • Mindset: Motivated, mission-driven, collaborative, and open to building better systems — they just need support to get it done efficiently and affordably.

  • Location: Based in Metro Detroit (for in person support) or across the U.S., often working in community development, education, or social services.

Common Challenges

  • Operations have become too complex for manual or ad hoc systems.

  • They lack time to document or streamline processes.

  • Staff are stretched thin, with no capacity to balance event logistics with fundraising expectations.

  • HR policies and procedures need documentation, structure, and follow-through.

What You're Looking For

  • A trusted partner, not a one-size-fits-all consultant.

  • Someone who can analyze, organize, and operationalize their vision.

  • Practical solutions that strengthen internal capacity.

  • Systems and processes that make their organization more sustainable and less stressful.
