We are a team of consultants who help our clients build a more just and sustainable world.
Making the world a better place has always been our calling. We started on this path early, each in our own way. We have decades of experience working with non-profit organizations, networks, foundations and individual philanthropists. We know what it takes to make a difference, and we draw on diverse expertise to tailor our services to your needs:
Strategy: We develop and refine strategies. Whether starting with a kernel of an idea, learning while doing, or turning a corner, we help chart a course through sound research and analysis mapped to human and financial capacity.
Building & Implementation: We roll up our sleeves. We work side by side with our partners to convert ideas into action, by convening the right people, incubating a program and/or managing a project.
Collaboration: We bring people together. We design, build, and sustain collaboratives capable of creating impact at scale. From global to local, we utilize our networks to break down silos and build up fields, creating infrastructure for change.
Inflection Points: We navigate change. We advise organizations during periods of startup, growth and change on everything from vision, mission and principles to governance, structure, communications and funding.
Mobilizing Resources: We are catalysts. Achieving success on complex environmental and social issues requires resources that match the scale of the problem. With our significant experience and networks, we help our partners meet their financial goals.
Leadership & Governance: We work with leaders. We help trustees, board members, CEOs and leadership teams develop their organization’s vision and mission, define success, improve governance, and navigate transitions.
Who we are
Our expertise spans a wide range of issues across philanthropy, business and government, but three things define who we are and how we work:
1) Profound Belief – we believe the greatest challenges of our time can be solved, so we tap our imaginations, ask tough questions and listen with humility to help our clients see what’s possible.
2) Earned Foresight – our experience has taught us to look over hills and around corners, so that we’re not just resolving the problem at hand, but helping our clients see the greater opportunity it reveals – and how to get there.
3) Uncommon Tenacity – our sense of urgency and level of commitment mean we roll up sleeves alongside our clients to deliver real impact.
