Meet Margie.
Margie DeVine has dedicated her entire career to the nonprofit sector. Her journey began at Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago, where she spent two transformative decades helping lead ambitious campaigns and building trusted relationships across the organization.
Since founding DeVine Consulting in 2006, Margie has brought warmth, clarity, and strategy to every client partnership. Her approach is deeply human—she listens closely, adapts quickly, and works from the inside out to help organizations grow stronger. Whether guiding a major fundraising initiative, supporting leadership transitions, or helping build high-performing teams, Margie centers people, culture, and purpose in all she does.
Nonprofits across the Midwest seek her out not just for fundraising expertise, but for trusted advice and perspective. She brings a steady hand, a sharp mind, and—whenever possible—a sense of joy to the work.

Summer!!!
Living in Northern Michigan gives me the gift of four seasons and an everyday closeness to nature that I deeply value.
When I’m not at my desk, you’ll likely find me walking in the woods or taking our dogs to one of the area's expansive beaches. If time is tight, even a kiddie pool will do the trick—just ask Rem (see photo!). These small moments outdoors help me reset, gain perspective, and feel real gratitude for the people and organizations in my life.
It’s hard to believe DeVine Consulting is turning 19 next month. A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who believed in me and helped get this work off the ground—and keep it going all these years.
Our core services include coaching, consulting, and search. If you think we can help, reach out. Availability is limited, but we’d love to hear from you.
