TimeShift Consulting is Born!

Founded by Michael C. Russell, CAE, and Justin Lee, the company aims to provide nonprofits with tailored services that maximize efficiency, boost fundraising, and optimize operations—all at a fraction of the cost of hiring full-time staff.

A Vision for Change

Michael C. Russell, CEO and founder of TimeShift Consulting, brings nearly 20 years of experience in nonprofit leadership, having guided organizations through complex challenges and strategic growth initiatives. “Our goal is to offer nonprofits the kind of expertise they would expect from high-caliber staff, but without the overhead,” Russell explains. “We understand the unique pressures that nonprofits face, especially with limited resources. TimeShift allows organizations to have the support of experienced professionals in key areas like membership, fundraising, marketing, and event planning, all in one flexible, cost-effective package.”

A Focus on Efficiency and Impact

The vision behind TimeShift Consulting goes beyond just providing services; it’s about making an impact. Justin Lee, the firm’s founder and CFO, explains, “Nonprofits often have to do more with less. Our services are designed to maximize the resources they have while driving the kind of growth and results they aim for. TimeShift is about delivering solutions that create lasting change—whether that’s through strategic fundraising, strengthening membership programs, or delivering high-quality events.”

The Name TimeShift: A Reflection of Purpose

The name "TimeShift" reflects the firm’s core mission: helping nonprofits shift their time and energy from managing day-to-day challenges to focusing on long-term success. "In the nonprofit sector, time and resources are often stretched thin," Russell shares. "TimeShift is about giving organizations the tools to shift their focus to what really matters—growth, sustainability, and impact—without getting bogged down by operational issues."

TimeShift Consulting prides itself on a straightforward, no-frills pricing model designed to make high-level consulting accessible to nonprofits of all sizes. With packages starting at $5,000 per month, organizations can choose the services they need without worrying about hidden fees or complex contracts. “Nonprofits deserve transparency, and our pricing structure reflects that,” says Lee. “Our clients know exactly what they’re getting, and we deliver on those expectations with a high level of service. We eliminate the guesswork so they can focus on their mission.”

A Flexible, Cost-Effective Solution

The services offered by TimeShift Consulting are customizable, ensuring that every organization receives exactly what it needs, whether that’s a full suite of services or specialized support in key areas. "By offering these services in a flexible, tiered manner, we give nonprofits the ability to scale and adapt as their needs evolve," says Lee.
