Creating Difference-Making Funding Strategies 

We help funders maximize their impact in complex environments. Collaborating with both new and seasoned funders, we build and implement funding strategies for radical change. Our approach emphasizes innovation and creativity, encouraging funders to think holistically, tackle root causes, and become more comfortable with emergent logics of change.

What We Offer:

  • Holistic advisory on developing a philanthropic practice for new funders 

  • Development and orchestration of funding strategies

  • Stakeholder engagement in strategy processes

Harnessing Insights from Funder Exchanges and Elevating Practice

We believe in the power of peer-to-peer learning programs to advance philanthropic practice. Our approach is deeply informed by nuanced understandings of the different roles, funding, and operating models of donors and funding organizations. This translates into tailored activities for funder audiences, allowing actionable insights to emerge.

What We Offer:

  • Conceptualization and curation of learning activities

  • Facilitation of funder learning activities

  • Harnessing insights and sense-making


Weaving Networks for Collective Impact

We believe in the important role funders can play in intentionally connecting current and former grantees to build new relationships, share knowledge, and reinforce capabilities. Our relational approach helps weave resilient grantee and alumni networks that amplify individual efforts and support collaborative endeavors towards shared missions.

What We Offer:

  • Scoping out, design, and governance of grantee and alumni networks

  • Network strategy development and alignment

  • Community building and networking activities

Living up to our commitment to equity, we work with three tiered rates depending on the financial capacity of your organization.
