Ronald Stewart, PhD
Consultant to Public and Nonprofit Organizations

Dr. Ronald Stewart is passionately engaged in service to the nonprofit and public sectors. Among the hallmarks of Stewart’s consultation work within the nonprofit and public sectors are his tailored and practical solutions for organizations, staff, and volunteers alike. His services include a wide array of capacity-building interventions, such as executive coaching, executive search, board development, planning, evaluation, discussion facilitation, and fundraising. A skilled grantwriter, Stewart has assisted organizations of all sizes with securing federal, state, and local grant resources. In fact, Stewart has trained more than 3,000 people from academic, nonprofit, and public institutions on the techniques of grant development. Serving as adjunct faculty at the graduate level, Stewart engages learners on topics such as program planning, evaluation, and grantwriting. A significant portion of Stewart’s career has concentrated on the care for America’s homeless people in search of practical solutions to the advocacy, housing, and supportive services needs of these disenfranchised persons. A native of rural Ohio, Dr. Stewart is also keenly aware of the need to engage young people, especially those from Appalachia. He wants to educate young people in the consideration of contemporary global issues and to encourage their participation in the delivery of community-based solutions inspired by this increased awareness. In 2004, Dr. Stewart established the Service Learning Opportunity Fund through the Stark Community Foundation and the Carroll County Foundation. These programs award qualified young people with scholarship assistance so that they may engage in service-learning projects around the globe. Dr. Stewart holds a doctorate in interdisciplinary studies, organizational leadership and management from The Union Institute and University; a master of arts in nonprofit organizations from Case Western Reserve University; and a bachelor of arts in rhetoric and communications from Kent State University.
