Key Result: Doubled Revenue, Tripled Community Impact

When STW Charities was ready to grow, they turned to a trusted partner—Business with Wisdom. What started as a long-standing relationship between STW’s Executive Director, Stephanie, and Business with Wisdom’s founder, Anne Wisdom, became a formal partnership in 2024, when Anne joined the Board and stepped in to lead the Fundraising Committee.

Anne brought decades of corporate finance experience, a history of delivering results (including securing a $100,000 grant for STW in 2021), and a framework that could scale with the organization’s ambitions. With Business with Wisdom’s proven methodologies, STW was able to step out of the chaos of being understaffed and overworked and into intentional, strategic growth.

“You know that feeling when you have so much to do you become ineffective? That was us. Business with Wisdom gave us the clarity, structure, and tools we desperately needed.” — Stephanie, Executive Director of STW

Business with Wisdom’s Impact:

  • Designed + implemented a KPI Dashboard to drive transparency and performance tracking across the board.
  • Developed a compelling Pitch Deck used to secure new partnerships + funding.
  • Created a strategic Fundraising Plan, including a silent auction, Graduation Ceremony, and a successful End-of-Year Campaign.
  • Revived digital presence through a Social Media Campaign and Newsletter resurrection, resulting in increased community engagement.
  • Standardized Grant Writing practices and created a full 2025 proposal pipeline. STW secured $1.1M in funding during same time frame.

With Anne’s leadership and Business with Wisdom’s framework, STW was not only able to double its revenue but also triple its community footprint—adding a new flagship partnership and expanding services throughout South Kansas City.

“Partnering with Business with Wisdom has been transformational. Their data-driven methods, organizational tools, and hands-on approach gave us the foundation and confidence to grow. I highly recommend them to anyone ready to scale or feeling overwhelmed.” — Stephanie

From fundraising pitches to team-building tools, Business with Wisdom helped STW turn potential into progress—and positioned them to thrive long into the future.
