== Involvement with Non-Profit Organizations ==

Heller has been a strategy consultant for a number of large non-profit organizations, including the [[World Wide Fund for Nature]], Audubon New York, IDE (an international organization dedicated to poverty elimination), The Cloud Institute for Sustainability Education, SafeHorizon, and the Joyful Heart Foundation.

She is an advisor to Design for the Other 90%, an NGO led by [[Paul Polak]], and helped to create a related exhibit at the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum. She is also an advisor to the National Academies of Science, and a Senior Faculty Fellow at the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship.

In 2008, Heller launched "Good Brand Camp," a one-day workshop for nonprofit organizations and social entrepreneurs to help them accomplish their missions by developing powerful brand strategies and communication systems.

"The growing number of mission-driven organizations has brought with it a more intense level of competition for support and attention," Heller said. "Over the years, we’ve worked mostly with for-profit companies, helping them strengthen their messages and methods of delivery. We felt it was time to share this experience with as many nonprofit organizations as possible by developing this 'almost free' workshop."<ref>http://www.csrwire.com/News/12711.html</ref>

Heller is currently on the board of Pop!Tech, an annual conference that explores how technology accelerates social and environmental change, and the The Cloud Institute for Sustainability Education. <ref>http://www.sustainabilityed.org/who/about_us/bio_wacey.html</ref>
