We want to see a healthy world where people live their passions, organizations thrive, and everyone works to their true best selves. We don’t think it’s too much to ask, and we know how to help organizations thrive while doing good work.

Our history

Wiser Wolf principals, Sheila Terryll and Mark Hiemenz, each bring more than 20 years of a rich, multi-sector work history in leadership and strategy. Sheila’s mastery includes advocacy, policy and fundraising, and Mark’s includes philanthropy, leadership development, and building partnerships.

 

Wiser Wolf consultant, Charlie Rounds, brings extensive national and international entrepreneurial and innovative strategies expertise to the team.

 

Some of the ways we have created change in environments are:

 

  • Researching, establishing and building local, national and international  philanthropic partnerships
  • Serving as founding Director of a private fundraising organization to develop resources for public education
  • Transforming organizations from dated to relevant, modern-day models
  • Leading fundraising to support grassroots advocacy, resulting in legislative policy and change
  • Guiding annual fundraising, special projects, corporate giving, and capital campaigns
  • Harnessing the power of online giving to create broader donor bases and more inclusive philanthropy
  • Creating core messaging to enable stakeholders to successfully communicate to the largest possible audience

 

In our experience we have found that facilitating this type of change is best done in partnership, with each person offering complementary skills. Our team  working together for you brings greater impact, faster results, and a lot more fun! That’s why we founded Wiser Wolf.
