Intentional impact starts here.

For more than 30 years, 501 Consultants, Inc. has specialized in serving local, regional, and national nonprofits by providing full management services as well as project-based consulting. Headquartered in Wenatchee, WA, 501 Consultants currently manages two nonprofits and is regularly engaged in one-time and ongoing consulting projects of various scopes and sizes.

Initially a solo practitioner, Vicky Scharlau founded the company in 1994. Today, 501 is a team, offering a diverse, well-rounded skill set built through decades of experience working for nonprofits, public agencies, and for profits. Our experience in organizational governance and management combined with our knowledge of the nonprofit sector enables us to partner with nonprofit leaders to help solve their most pressing strategic challenges.

By employing proven practices in good governance and effective infrastructure, we empower organizations to manifest their mission through thoughtful planning and wise decision-making, ultimately driving their operations and programming toward intentional impact—the 501 mantra.
