A New Chapter for Cahners & Donahue Associates

After more than 20 wonderful years of partnership, we are announcing the closure of Cahners & Donahue Associates LLC as of May 30, 2025. Amy is retiring to spend more time with her family, while Susan will continue consulting with nonprofit boards under the name Donahue Consulting.

As partners, it has been an incredible journey working with over 130 clients, helping them advance their missions. We are proud of the work we've done together and deeply grateful for the trust you've placed in us. Thank you for being a part of our journey.

If you'd like to talk with Susan about a new board governance project or simply stay in touch, our contact information can be found on the Contact tab above.

We wish you all continued success and fulfillment in your missions.

Warmly,
Amy and Susan

Supportive Advice

C&D’s knowledge, skills, and gentle approach made the process of starting and growing our board not only doable, but also fun. As a result of working with C&D, we created a 10-member board, organized a successful fundraising event, developed a promotional packet, and created a full time executive director position. C&D helped us gain confidence working with our board of directors and running our organization in general.
