About Radiance Management

Bridging Silicon Valley Innovation with Mission-Driven Impact

Sarah Rohm

My Journey

I'm Sarah Rohm, and I've spent 15 years discovering something powerful: the same frameworks that make tech companies wildly successful can transform nonprofits into adaptive, thriving organizations that create exponential social impact.

With over 15 years of experience in nonprofit management and strategic consulting, I founded Radiance Management with a simple belief: that every nonprofit organization has the potential to create lasting change when equipped with the right frameworks for growth and innovation.

My passion for this work stems from witnessing firsthand how well-intentioned organizations can get stuck in patterns that drain their potential rather than amplifying their impact. Too many nonprofits are caught in reactive cycles—constantly responding to crises rather than proactively shaping their future.

The Frameworks That Changed Everything

The Adaptable Product Framework

I've taken the systematic approach that helps products thrive in uncertain markets and adapted it specifically for nonprofits. This 9-step methodology helps organizations move from reactive crisis management to proactive strategic leadership.

  • Mission-driven product thinking
  • Scenario planning for multiple futures
  • Anti-fragile system design

Connected Community Building

Through deep study of how successful communities form and thrive, I've developed the three-pillar framework (Connecting, Learning, Co-Creating) that transforms scattered volunteer efforts into strategic community assets.

  • Strategic volunteer matching
  • Knowledge sharing systems
  • Collaborative innovation platforms

Why This Approach Works

Traditional nonprofit consulting focuses on fundraising tactics or program improvement. But the organizations that truly thrive in today's environment are those that master adaptation itself—building systems that work regardless of external conditions.

What Our Clients Say

"Sarah was instrumental in the start up of my small business. She provided strategy consulting for my branding, targeting, and product positioning. She built my small business website and was extremely efficient and professional to work with. Her knowledge of web development, page design and layout, payment processing, online marketing and overall website functionality gave me a sense of confidence and reassurance in launching and growing my business. Sarah is such a pleasure to work with, very calm and patient and had no problem managing a lot of responsibilities at once. I would recommend Sarah for marketing, web development, project management and consulting services!"
