Bringing a business mindset to philanthropy.

Orr Group is proud to be 100% family owned and operated since 1991. For more than three decades, we have partnered with nonprofits to advance missions, strengthen teams, and drive sustainable growth through the business of philanthropy.

Founded by Steve and Carol Orr, the firm was built on a belief in partnership, entrepreneurship, and results. Steve drew from his career on Wall Street, recognizing how data and strategy could transform fundraising. Carol expanded our services through events and fundraising expertise while leading the firm’s HR for more than 20 years. Together, they established the collaborative and results-driven culture that defines Orr Group today.

Now led by CJ Orr, we continue to grow our team, broaden our services, and deepen our impact across the nonprofit sector. From fundraising and events to today’s full-service embedded partnership model, our approach has always been about working with our partners, not just advising them.

The belief that it is all about the team continues to guide how we embed with nonprofit leaders and stakeholders, roll up our sleeves, and deliver strategy, stability, and revenue. In the business of philanthropy, you do not just need a consultancy. You need a partner.
