The Two Suns Story

Two Suns is a play on words for Ashley and Jared's children, Hunter and Tristan. After having their second child the Schwader family desired a way to have balance and flexibility while also aligning their passion, values, knowledge, and experience to serve others.

Striving to create a solid foundation for their children to grow upon, but not wanting to stop working, Two Suns Consulting was born in February, 2020.

The name reminds us everyday who we are doing this work for, how to present our work in the community, and the long-lasting vision to brighten the future path for all generations including that of our children.

Client Testimonials

“I can't emphasize enough the level of expertise and adaptability that the Two Suns team brought to our project. They provided an outside perspective, clarity and structure exactly when we needed it. Not only did they deliver an exceptional product in the final report, but along the way they also tended to our organizational culture, mission and needs. This meant that the final product represented and was supported by our organization and the community we serve. I highly recommend Two Suns to any non-profit organization needing mission-focused support. ”

Stephanie McDowell

Executive Director, Bridger Care

“Two Sun's has been such an asset to our organization. We had several identified needs at our agency, but had struggled to make progress on those goals. In only a few short weeks Ashley was able to help us make significant progress on our goals and on one particular task that had started to feel impossible. Her organization and attention to detail is unparalleled, as is her support and partnership. ”

Gina Boesdorfer

Executive Director, The Friendship Center

“Ashley and Jared moved quickly to help our organization under an extremely tight deadline and delivered beyond expectations. Ashley was quick to identify exactly what we needed and the path to get there. Her professionalism left me with no question that we would meet our goal. She provided our nonprofit with both the information we were seeking and that which we didn’t even know we needed. Jared’s insight and analysis continues to be helpful and I am so grateful for his timely response to questions. The final report was, and continues to be, an asset for our nonprofit. I would not hesitate to recommend this team. As our nonprofit moves forward with rebranding, we are thrilled with the professional expertise they provided, and the direction we are heading. Thank you Ashley and Jared for helping us Grow Wild!”

Jennifer Mohler

Executive Director
Grow Wild (Previously Gallatin Invasive Species Alliance)

"Ashley, Jared and Merritt have been an absolute dream to work with! Our organization was at a crossroads - either to put our nonprofit dreams on hold or hire help to ensure progress was made. We decided to take the leap and invest in working with their team. Six months later, we’re so relieved that we did. They did a fantastic job of taking our ideas, visions, and frustrations and turning them into a realistic strategic plan. Their communication was excellent (even when we fell short) and we felt very supported despite significant challenges we faced in the final quarter of 2022. Moving forward, we know we can count on them for professional yet deeply caring support in the form of grant writing, software assistance and general consulting.”
