Jenifer Gager

Founder/Principal, JLG Consulting

A passionate believer in the power of groups, Jenifer helps clients achieve more together than could ever be imagined alone. After more than two decades helping organizational leaders advance nonprofit governance and financial sustainability nationally, Jenifer founded JLG Consulting to bring her unique human-centric skills to the field of capacity building in new ways. The firm serves executive and board leaders across a broad range of nonprofit types, including fiscally-sponsored entities. A certified coach and seasoned program designer, Jenifer has developed peer cohort groups focused on governance, race equity, and social entrepreneurship. In all of her engagements, Jenifer works to employ the best ideas in strategy, management, facilitation, capacity building, and human development to harmonize individual insights with shared human endeavors in service to real results. She does this with a focus on human dignity and racial equity.

People who have worked closely with Jenifer characterize her as a listener, bridge-builder, and as a go-getter that brings playfulness and creativity to her engagements. She has guest lectured at Georgetown University on nonprofit governance and serves on the Governance and Nominating Committee for Mental Health America and as Chair of the Board for the Restoration Center, Inc. which serves those historically denied access to high-quality mental health services in the Prince George’s County, Maryland, region and beyond.
