Bryan Orander
Bryan is founder and President of Charitable Advisors. After 18 years of leadership in the Fortune 50 business world and a disability-related nonprofit, Bryan joined a large regional accounting and consulting firm.

In 2000, he founded Charitable Advisors with the vision of going beyond traditional consulting to become a connector, advocate, and problem solver for the nonprofit sector. In addition to creating and publishing the Not-for-Profit eNews to almost 15,000 subscribers in Central Indiana and Greater Cincinnati, Bryan co-founded the “Get on Board” board member recruiting event hosted by Lacy Leadership Association and the Nonprofit Solutions Initiative at the IUPUI Solutions Center.

In 2010, Charitable Advisors published the first Central Indiana Nonprofit Salary Survey. Bryan's thoughts on the nonprofit sector? “Through my work, I get to see nonprofits that are exceptionally well-run and others that are working hard but may not be sure where they are headed or how to get there. What keeps me going is the spirit and resiliency of the people in this sector who are seeking to serve their client better and refuse to consider failure as an option.” Bryan is happily married with two beautiful daughters.
