Ronald Harris Success Story
From Inspired Idea to Thriving Nonprofit in Just 90 Days
Client Overview
Ronald Harris came with a heartfelt vision: to honor his mother and father by creating a nonprofit legacy. Inspired but unsure how to begin, he needed guidance to shape his passion into a structured, impactful organization.
Mission Statement: The mission of the Foundation is to provide support and appreciation to educators and create a safe space for underprivileged athletes, honoring educators that have made an impact and providing financial support to young athletes in pursuit of their dreams, in memory of Lena and Will Harris.
Problems/Overview
Ronald was driven by a deep desire to honor his parents, Lena and Will Harris, but he felt overwhelmed by the process of starting a nonprofit. He knew what he wanted to achieve but struggled with the details how to legally establish the organization, build a leadership structure, and create a mission that others could rally behind. Without branding, operational systems, or community visibility, his idea risked remaining just a personal dream rather than becoming the lasting legacy he envisioned. He needed a clear roadmap and hands-on guidance to turn his passion into a fully functioning nonprofit that would inspire support and create real impact. Before engaging with Tina Bailey Consulting, Ronald Harris was experiencing:
- Ineffective communication across teams
