My Nonprofit Reviews

I met Candorful cofounder Pat Hubbell in 2018 when she was a finalist at the Mass Challenge Accelerator. I was serving Mass Challenge as a mentor and a fellow mentor introduced me to Pat as I have had years of experience on nonprofit Boards. When we met, she and her cofounder had recently decided to establish Candorful as a nonprofit and was working on the application process. I was able to help her interpret the various questions on the government forms. She later asked me to serve on her Board when it was officially formed on 7/2019.

I am very impressed with Candorful for several reasons. Pat has built a great Board comprised of people with successful careers. She has established strategic partnerships with several much larger non profit organizations that also serve transitioning military and now depend on Candorful to provide vital interview training. She has recruited a large team of volunteers that deliver our interview training services. She envisioned and managed the creation of the technology platform that allows us to efficiently serve our clients and has built an organization to run the operation. She is also very creative on fundraising including “Fireside Chats” featuring prominent speakers discussing interesting current topics, and running half marathon races which many people are happy to support with contributions.
