Enriching the value of a nonprofit organization is about more than raising money. It’s about elevating the cause, the organization’s profile, and spirits–both internally and externally. It’s about fulfilling potential, then venturing into new realms of possibility. The goal? To be invaluable. Irreplaceable. And sustainable for the long run.

Vandever Batten’s approach to strengthening nonprofits reminds me of how we built Bank of America.~ Hugh L. McColl, Jr., former Chairman and CEO, Bank of America
Lauren’s role as a lead architect in shaping the most transformational chapter in Country Day’s history was central to our success. She helped articulate a bold vision, galvanized the school community around it, and built a comprehensive, future-minded advancement function to fuel it. This remarkable effort has positioned Country Day as a national leader for generations to come.~ Walker Poole, Trustee and Comprehensive Campaign Co-Chair
Vandever Batten has helped make our public library the national leader it has become over the last 20 years. Lauren is the ultimate connector, always engaging the right people to address a critical urgent need and propel the organization forward. She’s a fearless yet charming and focused problem-solver—a trusted resource for any ambitious nonprofit that dares to be invaluable for the long term.~ Robin Branstrom, former Board Chair of the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library and Children’s Theatre of Charlotte
Vandever Batten guided our $10MM fundraising journey like the North Star. Their unmatched expertise, deep knowledge of the donor landscape, access to critical and creative partners, and unwavering commitment to strengthen the Charlotte community led us to success. CYC is stronger in lasting ways because of their invaluable partnership.~ Kathryn Kissam, founding Board Chair of Carolina Youth Coalition
We at the Charlotte Symphony will be eternally grateful to Lauren Batten and her team. Thanks to their wise counsel and guidance, we took a struggling $20M Campaign and turned it into a successful $50M achievement, to the transformational benefit of our institution. In the process, we burnished the CSO's reputation for sound fiscal management. I can't imagine how we could have accomplished that without Vandever Batten at our side.David Fisk, President & CEO, Charlotte Symphony Orchestra
