What We Do
We help organizations, campaigns, and coalitions turn vision into action. Our practice helps leaders understand context, navigate uncertainty, and make informed decisions. We are rooted in trust, public service, and the belief that change begins where people meet each other.

Strategy from the Ground Up: Campaigns, Initiatives, and Civic Action Planning
Effective strategy starts on the ground. From ballot access to movement building, we support leaders in designing responsive, high-integrity campaigns that align with evolving goals.
We bring structure to your vision, through power mapping, team design, and operational planning, and help ensure it holds under real-world pressure.

From Coalition to Coordination: Stakeholder Engagement and Partnership Strategy
Coalitions are easy to start and hard to sustain. We help teams move from shared values to shared action with intention.
Our support includes convening design, stakeholder engagement, and long-term strategy, centered on trust, power dynamics, and real alignment.

Funding with Integrity: Development Strategy and Grant Writing
At the end of the day, funding is not about resources, but relationships, narrative, and infrastructure.
We work with mission-driven teams to align development strategy with identity and impact. Services include grant writing, funder communications, and strategic advising.
