About
Meet Teresa Williams
Nonprofit consultant and grant writer with 15+ years of hands-on experience helping community-driven organizations start strong and secure sustainable funding.
My story
For over 15 years, I've been on the front lines of nonprofit work — building programs, leading teams, and serving communities in Morris County, New Jersey. As Executive Director of Spring Street Community Development Corp. dba Table of Hope, I grew an organization from the ground up to serve thousands of families each year — and raised over $1 million in funding along the way.
Through that journey, I've navigated every challenge nonprofit leaders face: securing funding, building volunteer programs, managing compliance, developing boards, and scaling operations while staying true to mission.
Now based in Montgomery County, Maryland, Being T Consulting was born from a simple realization: the knowledge I've gained through years of hands-on work can help other nonprofit leaders avoid costly mistakes and move faster toward impact. I don't offer theory — I offer the practical wisdom that comes from doing the work every day.

Teresa Williams knew she had a higher purpose. As the Executive Director of Spring Street CDC and First Lady of Bethel Church in Morristown, she works tirelessly to care for the working poor, amplifying their voices through faith, serving the unseen. But when a fire destroyed the church parsonage, the community rallied to support her family, exemplifying the reality of “what you reap, is what you sow.”
