Achieving big, lasting change requires a bold vision coupled with concrete plans to make it happen. We partner with grantmakers and collaboratives to help them dream big and turn those dreams into reality. Here’s what we can do together to create a grantmaking strategy:

• • Landscape Analysis: Understand the landscape in which you operate and where you can uniquely contribute to systemic change
  • Organizational Strategy, Collaborative Strategy, and Theory of Change: Determine your desired outcomes and grantmaking strategies that drive toward those outcomes and engage stakeholders in shaping your strategy
  • Program Strategy and Management: Design, launch, and manage high-impact programs
  • Implementation Planning: Identify and align on key decisions, needed resources, and clear action plans so you know what to do in the coming days, months, and years to bring your strategy to life
  • Additional Capacity: When you have more work than time, we serve as an extension of your team to turn strategies into reality and launch and manage programs within your timeframe and budget

Our research shows the importance of intentionally shaping organizational culture to achieve the impact you desire. While building culture and navigating change inside organizations can sometimes feel ambiguous, we bring focus and clarity to the process with a methodology and a team that provides empathy and support through coaching. Here’s how we can work together:

• • Culture Change: Take a close look at your values, systems, and processes, and work with leaders and leadership teams to align behaviors with the results you seek
  • Change Management for Organizations and Collaboratives: Gain clarity on how your needs are shifting as you respond to external changes and as your organization or collaborative matures; understand your strengths and challenges, and then build the capacities and operating systems you need to adapt and evolve; and work with leaders and leadership teams to navigate changes and drive toward the results you seek
  • Coaching: Coach leaders and leadership teams as they navigate change

Driven by our value to “listen and learn,” we partner with you to listen deeply, learn, experiment, and shift direction as needed to keep you on track to achieve your goals. Here’s how we can work together:

• Learning: Create a learning agenda; change processes, structures, and behaviors to help you implement the agenda and integrate learning and evaluation into your day-to-day work; and ensure your team has the necessary knowledge and skills to maintain a learning culture so you can better understand your impact and continually learn what works
• Evaluation: Conduct developmental and summative evaluations, collecting and analyzing data to adapt your strategies and programs to have greater impact and bringing expertise in areas such as evaluating capacity-building programs
