About Ascent Operations

Running a nonprofit organization is a work of passion. In this pursuit, nonprofit leaders aspire to meet the needs of the community, transform hearts and minds, and contribute to the greater good in the world we inhabit together. The challenge? Limited resources. To make a real impact, nonprofits must balance their vision against fundraising obstacles and increasing program costs. This has the potential to divert attention away from the foundational essence of a nonprofit organization--meeting people in the moments that matter. Hi, my name is Jon and I’m here to help. My design for Ascent Operations is to take the heavy lifting off your shoulders so you can focus on your goals and your people. I have over 25 years of experience in nonprofit finance and operations, managing organizations with budgets from $200K to $5M, navigating both scarcity and growth. I understand the importance of a strong organizational structure that enables the delivery of your mission. Ascent provides finance & administrative services for nonprofits, turning aspirations into operations. For more than 25 years, I've proudly called Chicago my home, residing in Jefferson Park on the city's northwest side.
