Adair Hill, MSSA - Founder & Lead Strategist

Hi, I’m Adair—a nonprofit communicator with a passion for making missions visible. I founded Let It Shine to help small and mighty nonprofits tell their stories clearly, confidently, and with the strategy they deserve.

With over 13 years of experience in nonprofit and government communications, I bring a background that blends communications research and testing, strategic messaging, digital marketing, grant writing, and good old-fashioned storytelling. I also hold a Master’s in Social Service Administration (MSW), which grounds my work in empathy, systems thinking, and a deep understanding of the challenges communities face.

Before Let It Shine, I led communications at organizations like the Center for Community Transitions and served as a communications consultant for national nonprofits and federal agencies. Whether I’m developing a full communications plan or coaching a startup nonprofit through their brand strategy, I believe good communications can unlock funding, shift narratives, and build movements.

Let It Shine is where I bring all those skills together to serve the folks making real change happen—nonprofit leaders with bold visions and limited time. If that’s you, I’d love to help you shine.
