Helping nonprofits and social enterprises adapt, align, and act with purpose in times of economic pressure, political uncertainty, and growing social divides. We offer grounded, human-centered strategy that considers both the business and the people behind it.

We help organizations:

We help ecosystems:
- Engage communities deeply in shaping decisions and convene cross-sector coalitions to co-design shared owned strategies.

- Create roadmaps for collective impact that are not only visionary, but viable and sustained.
