Vasheti Quiros

Vasheti Quiros is rewriting the rules of nonprofit leadership—one heart-centered strategy at a time.

After 20 years leading nonprofit and social services organizations, Vasheti knows firsthand the cost of sacrificing yourself for the mission. She's experienced burnout, faced mortality, and emerged with a powerful truth: You don't have to lose yourself to make a difference. You can lead with your whole heart—and win.

Today, as the founder of Well Balanced CEO, Vasheti helps $1M+ nonprofit executives recover from crisis, rebuild donor trust, and raise more money—without burning out. Her trauma-informed, equity-centered approach to fundraising strategy meets leaders where they are and empowers them to scale with clarity, confidence, and calm.

Vasheti's expertise spans strategic fundraising, board activation, leadership wellness, and crisis recovery. She's helped organizations raise millions, coached hundreds of mission-driven women, and delivered keynote presentations at influential gatherings including the Greater Everett Chamber of Commerce, Women Rocking Business (Rockstar Speaker Award winner 2023, 2024, 2025), Fractional Fundraising Network, and the Early Learning Florida Statewide Best Practices Summit.

She is a featured author in the international bestselling anthology Women Who Lead: Volume 2 – Unleash Your Potential, a 3x Amazon Bestseller. In her chapter, From Burnout to Breakthrough, she shares her journey from collapse to reclamation—and how she built a thriving business rooted in wellness and strategic impact.

Vasheti's signature message: Calm is a strategy. When nonprofit leaders learn to lead from a place of balance, clarity, and grounded confidence, they don't just survive—they thrive. And so do their missions.
