I’m Jenny Walden, MSW, Founder and Principal Consultant of SageSpark Consulting. I bring experience across public agencies, nonprofits, and philanthropic intermediaries, helping partners navigate complexity and move work forward with clarity and purpose.

My experience shapes how I approach this work. I emphasize systems thinking, equity, relationship-building, and practical solutions grounded in real-world constraints. I’m often brought in when initiatives are still forming, partnerships are evolving, or leaders need space to think through options, tradeoffs, and next steps.

My role flexes based on what’s most useful—strategic advisor, thought partner, facilitator, or implementation support—always in close collaboration with the people doing the work.
