About Us

Ronnie Weston

Founder & Managing Partner

In 2007 Ronnie Weston founded Bull Moose Group, a collaborative group of independent consultants, to counsel small to medium sized nonprofits in fulfilling their missions and realizing their visions. Specializing in grassroots fundraising and board governance, Ronnie places special emphasis on the role of the nonprofit in enriching the community. She is particularly adept at working with staff and lay leadership and knows how to navigate the challenges of those relationships. Other areas of expertise include campaign feasibility studies, capital and annual campaign counsel and management, development audits, strategic planning, and board training.

Ronnie brings a unique combination of skills to the not for profit landscape. She is an attorney (“fully recovered”), an accomplished entrepreneur, public speaker, author, fundraiser, and results-oriented team leader. She was recently selected by Maine Health Access Foundation (MEHAF) to participate in a consultant-cohort training program designed to enhance client service by consulting through an “equity lens.” Organizations who serve marginalized populations are the recipients of the unique governance models and development programs designed by Ronnie to raise the consciousness of the organization and empower its leaders to serve with knowledge, pride and sensitivity.

Community service is a priority for Ronnie and while her time is limited, she volunteers as a Cumberland County Master Gardener and proudly serves on the ACA Insurer, Community Health Options Board of Directors as its Governance Committee Chair and member of the Community Benefit Expenditure Advisory Council. Ronnie is also a member of Invest for Better, a national campaign for women to demystify impact investing and mobilize their money for the greater good.

A graduate of Washington University cum laude, Ronnie holds a Juris Doctor degree from Hofstra University School of Law. She is a member of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, Maine Association of Nonprofits, Maine Philanthropy Center, and Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance. Ronnie lives in Harpswell with her husband Evan and three rescue dogs, Gibbs, Kiki, and Maizie. Her passions include cooking, gardening, photography, hiking, and spending time with her delicious 12 grandchildren.

Evan Weston

Partner

Evan has extensive experience raising funds in the private sector, having spent over forty years in the institutional investment management business. He was responsible for raising over $5 Billion in that arena and reveled in the personal relationships he developed over the years with trustees, investment managers, entrepreneurs, and philanthropists.

Evan retired from the investment management business in 2009 but knew he wanted to stay involved in the world of commerce while making a difference in the Midcoast Maine community. He has served as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, Angel Flight Southeast, Clothes to Kids, President of Harpswell Neck Fire and Rescue Board and Harpswell Santa and for each of those organizations, raised money to help them achieve their objectives.

Evan has the unique ability to be fearless in the process of establishing new relationships and asking for gifts. He has done that in his professional career and he finds it much easier when the mission for which he is asking is not about him, or his own wealth advancement, but rather is for the financial health of worthwhile nonprofit organizations.

Evan’s passion is dogs: caring for them, rescuing them, and training them to be valuable and loved members of their families. Evan lives in Harpswell with his wife Ronnie, their three dogs, and spends as much time as he can with his 12 grandchildren.
