About
Tim's Story
Founder
Tim Jackson, MPA
With over 23 years in nonprofit leadership, I’ve seen the unique challenges nonprofits face—limited resources, overwhelming administrative tasks, and the need for sustainable growth. As the CEO of two different United Ways, I successfully navigated these challenges and supported both organizations to 300% growth.
​
I launched Tailwynd with a desire to support more organizations, providing them with the tools and strategies necessary to thrive in an ever-changing landscape. The name Tailwynd reflects my mission: to give organizations a 'boost' or additional 'lift' to achieve their goals.
​
By combining strategic consulting with custom AI-driven solutions, I help nonprofits streamline operations and expand and diversify their revenue—so they can focus on their mission.​
​
I live in Ogden, Utah, with my wife and four children, enjoying life on a small hobby farm. Through Tailwynd, I’m committed to empowering nonprofits to thrive and make a greater impact in their communities.
