I help people find stillness.
I'm Sunny Wight — a mindfulness teacher, nonprofit consultant and grant-writer based in Arizona. Whatever I'm doing, I bring the same thing: genuine, unhurried presence.
Practicing Presence
After 17 years of mindfulness practice and teaching, and 13 years co-founding and leading a pioneering mindfulness nonprofit I've learned that mindful presence changes everything for the better.
SERVICES
Nonprofit
Mindful Leadership
Burnout is a structural epidemic in the nonprofit sector. I combine lived experience as a nonprofit co-founder and ED, my own recovery from leadership burnout, and 13 years as a mindfulness practitioner and teacher — to help nonprofit leaders both prevent and recover from burnout.
Grant Writing
I bring a 50% win rate and over $5 million secured for the nonprofit I co-founded — with a first career in PR and communications that taught me how to tell a compelling story under pressure. I specialise in mental health and wellness organizations, but I am open to all missions. I write grants the way good journalism works: clear, human, and hard to ignore.
Mindful Wellbeing
I'm a mindfulness practitioner and teacher, breakdown survivor, caregiver and volunteer with Hospice of the Valley. I offer mindfulness facilitation for individuals, groups, and organizations — and secular/spiritual accompaniment for people navigating transition, loss, or uncertainty.

Who I Work With
Nonprofit Founders & EDs
​
You're carrying more than your job description ever said you would; something I have direct experience with. I work with leaders who want to lead well and stay well — not just survive the next funding cycle.
Individuals In Transition
​
Loss, change, uncertainty, illness — sometimes you just need someone to sit with you in it. No agenda, no fixing. Just accompaniment and presence.
Nonprofit Fundraising Departments
​
Your team knows how to cultivate donors but grant writing feels like a different language. I can write the grants, train your team, or do both.
Organizations & Teams
​
When a team is burned out or disconnected, productivity advice isn't the answer. Mindfulness facilitation can create compassionate connection and provide preventative support.
