Building Tomorrow’s Leaders
Leticia Rodriguez is not new to the nonprofit world. Before becoming Executive Director at DIY Girls, Leticia had spent years working in various roles at nonprofits in Los Angeles. Even early in her career, Leticia had envisioned herself running her own organization. Looking back, Leticia recognizes there was still so much to learn about being an Executive Director, a leader, and a relationship builder.

Creating a Legacy Through Arts Discourse
For over 20 years, Project X Foundation for Art & Criticism has strived to create a unique and inclusive space for arts criticism and dialogue through its critical arts journal, X-TRA. During the onset of the pandemic—amid leadership changes and an unpredictable future—Project X became uncertain whether it could continue sustaining the journal. However, their custom consulting engagement with ESC has changed the organization’s trajectory for the better and they look to continuing to make an imprint on the LA arts community for years to come.
Setting a Launch Pad for Ready, Set, Read!
Ready, Set, Read! was ESC’s first client to participate in a pilot pro bono initative, lauched to help underesourced nonprofits access consulting services, who might not otherwise be able to due to budgetary contraints. Ready, Set, Read!promotes childhoold literacy development by training parents in low-income households to read aloud to their children. And while Ready, Set, Read! has found success programmatically, its Executive Director Deb Burgin had been seeking ways to find long-term, financial sustainability through a more strategic fundraising approach.
Innovative Solutions for Exceeding Expectations

Under the leadership of President and CEO Rochelle Mills, Innovative Housing Opportunities not only adapted to the pandemic’s unpredictability by adjusting how they delivered services to clients, but also surpassed their own long term fundraising goals within the year.
