Volta Park Group advises nonprofit, educational, civic and corporate leaders at the moments that matter most: a leadership transition, a new strategic direction, a campaign to build lasting support.
Founder Courtney Chapin brings the experience of an executive and the perspective of a trustee. She served as Chief of Staff of the National Endowment for the Humanities and grew The Better Angels Society into one of the country’s premier history-focused nonprofits.
She helps boards and leaders answer the hard questions: how to govern well, whom to partner with, and how to align philanthropy with mission. Our work is practical, discreet and built to last.
