Status of Fieldstone Alliance

Sandy was formerly a Principal Consultant with Fieldstone Alliance. However, as of the end of 2009, Fieldstone no longer offers consulting services and is closing its doors. Some of its former consultants, including Sandy, will carry on the work, enriched by their experiences at Fieldstone.

You can still read back issues of Fieldstone's popular Tools You Can Use newsletter. Tools most often used by Jacobsen Associates are listed on this site under Resources.

Finally, Fieldstone Alliance is still selling practical books for nonprofits and funders.
