Strategy & spirit for the long haul.

Salt, Bread & Roses is where movement work meets meaning. We help nonprofit leaders, community organizers, and fundraising survivors create strategies that nourish — not deplete — through coaching, campaigns, and collective clarity. This is your home for sustainable organizing, values-rooted fundraising, and spiritual grounding for the work ahead.

Hi, I’m Veronica

About Me

I created Salt, Bread, & Roses to be the consulting practice I wish I had when I was burning out inside systems that didn’t fit, doing work that I believed in. I’m a coach, educator, and movement strategist. I help people who care about justice build sustainable practices so they can keep organizing without losing themselves.

After a decade of fundraising, organizing, and nonprofit leadership, I returned to this work with better boundaries, a deeper connection to healing, and a more honest approach to power and care. I knew two things for certain:

  1. The work is sacred.

  2. The way we’re doing it is killing us.

Salt, Bread & Roses is both a refusal and a reimagining. It’s a return to the essentials — sustenance (bread), survival (salt), and joy (roses) — and a place where spiritual praxis meets practical strategy. My work blends movement theory, mutual aid, campaign strategy, fundraising support, and holistic peer coaching that centers emotional resourcing (AKA burnout prevention) in service of something bigger: community transformation that lasts.
