About Us
Your Growth is Our Mission
Catalyst Center for Nonprofit Management is a leading nonprofit consulting and training firm dedicated to strengthening nonprofit organizations through expert management consulting, board development, and professional training. Our signature Nonprofit Management Training Series and customized consulting services help nonprofits build capacity, improve operations, and achieve greater impact.
Founded in 2000 as an extension of Bee, Bergvall & Co., Certified Public Accountants, the Catalyst Center was originally launched to address the growing demand for specialized nonprofit consulting and education in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. As demand quickly expanded beyond the county, we rebranded as the Catalyst Center for Nonprofit Management to better reflect our regional influence. Backed by decades of experience in nonprofit accounting, auditing, and financial services, our team brings a deep understanding of the unique challenges nonprofit organizations face.
