What Jackson Fields Consulting does

Jackson Fields Consulting is a privately-held, Fort Worth, TX-based professional services firm founded in 2021 by Elizabeth Fields and Brad Fields that provides fractional executive leadership and operational consulting to nonprofit organizations, with a particular concentration in the military and veteran-serving sector. Its core offering comprises part-time or interim CEO, COO, CDO, and CFO engagements, supplemented by service modules in fundraising strategy, human resources, partnerships development, and grant writing (the latter skewed toward military-affiliated organizations). The firm does not develop or sell technology products; its deliverables are advisory and execution-oriented, anchored by the founders' and consultants' prior executive tenures at institutions including the Gary Sinise Foundation, NPR, the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, the University of Pennsylvania, Caltech, UCLA, and the U.S. Air Force.

The business generates revenue through custom-scoped, quote-based consulting engagements and multi-year fractional executive retainers, supplemented by differentiated professional development content sold under the "Not-For-Profit Bartender" sub-brand, including Mix & Learn workshops delivered in virtual or in-person formats. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: outreach via LinkedIn thought leadership, the "Tips for Nonprofits" weekly video series, podcast appearances (notably COO Alliance), and direct engagement with nonprofit boards and senior leadership. Named clients span veteran services (Fields 4 Valor Farms, One Tribe Foundation, NVSBC, Defenders of Freedom, Real American Heroes Coffee Company, Veterans Produce), civic engagement (Andrew Goodman Foundation), and education/literacy (Book Drive for Kids). The firm also maintains a small trusted-partner ecosystem (Taylor Made Experience, Creative Evolution Consulting, Schiele Group) that extends delivery capacity without proportionate headcount expansion.

The firm operates at a small scale of 1-10 employees, has not raised external capital, and discloses no revenue figures. Its strategic posture emphasizes vertical specialization in veteran and military nonprofits, brand differentiation through the mixology-themed Not-For-Profit Bartender brand, and content-driven top-of-funnel demand generation to feed a relationship-led sales motion targeting mid-size and large nonprofits during leadership transitions or scale phases.
