Meet Tracy
I started out like many others—just a mom who wanted to help. What began with volunteering at school events quickly grew into years of organizing fundraisers, leading committees, and building community spirit from the ground up.
​
That hands-on experience taught me how to structure a nonprofit, run campaigns that actually work, and create systems volunteers can sustain and pass on. Today, I help small, grassroots, and parent-run organizations do the same—without the overwhelm.
​
If you're building something meaningful for your school, church, or community, I’m here to help you lay the foundation and keep the fire going.
Who I Help
I work with the everyday changemakers—the parents, teachers, neighbors, and volunteers who see a need and step up to meet it.
​
Whether you're:
-
Starting a PTA or school-based initiative
-
Launching a community nonprofit from scratch
-
Leading a small, volunteer-run organization
-
Supporting a faith-based or local outreach program
-
Navigating your first 501(c)(3) setup or fundraising campaign
I’m here to help you turn passion into progress. My approach is built for small teams with big hearts—no corporate jargon, no complicated systems. Just practical guidance, tailored tools, and a whole lot of encouragement.
​
If you're building something meaningful and want to make it last, you're exactly who I help.

What I Do
1
Grassroots Support
Beyond the Binder is support for everyday parents, volunteers, and community champions who find themselves running booster clubs, small nonprofits, or grassroots fundraisers with no plan, no budget, and no idea where to begin. If you're feeling overwhelmed, under-resourced, or just plain stuck—I get it. Whether you're launching your first campaign or trying to revive a tired committee, I’ll help you turn chaos into clarity. You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Let’s fix it—together.

Hands-On Assistance
I offer practical, hands-on support to help your organization not just grow—but truly thrive. I take the time to understand your mission, your challenges, and the unique dynamics of your team. Whether you're just getting started or looking to strengthen existing systems, I work alongside you to develop strategies and solutions that are tailored to your goals. From streamlining operations to building sustainable practices, my aim is to empower you with the tools, confidence, and clarity you need to move forward with purpose.

Strategic Consulting
Volunteering shouldn’t feel like chaos—and I’m here to make sure it doesn’t. With years of hands-on experience, I support small clubs, booster groups, and grassroots nonprofits in getting organized, building sustainable systems, and running fundraisers that actually work. Whether you're stepping into leadership for the first time or preparing to hand things off, I provide the structure, strategy, and steady support you need to help your organization flourish.
