In line with our mission and vision, we offer a range of services to support partners throughout their project lifecycle. From initial conception to final evaluation, we incorporate a community-driven approach that reflects the hopes, dreams, and aspirations of our partners and the communities they serve.
For partners in need, we offer in-kind capacity building and coaching for projects that support communities identified as having high levels of vulnerability according to the CDC’s Social Vulnerability Index. Additionally, we have a competitive sliding fee structure for partners who seek our collaboration but fall outside our in-kind support scope
Technical Assistance: We focus strategically on critical events and complex project components, empowering organizations to overcome the most stubborn obstacles to success. Our project-specific support addresses capacity needs for essential collaborative projects. Our services include:
We enhance your experience with systems mapping, community-engaged research, human-centered design, and community-based system dynamics. These are just a few topics we share through customized, hands-on workshops where your team will learn about a tool or theory and then apply it directly to your real-world work.
We can lead or support the development and facilitation of one to three planning sessions, focusing on initiatives that bring together multiple teams or groups.
We have organized and led convenings of various types, from coalition retreats to multi-day national conferences. We specialize in participatory agendas that build alignment, amplify voices, and advance your work in concrete ways.
We track, access, and evaluate your data, helping to optimize or build your processes. We are particularly skilled at transitioning Excel-based tracking systems into customized Airtable systems that integrate spreadsheets, public forms, automated dashboards, and project management views.
We demonstrate value and strategic alignment with funder priorities, supporting proposals that transform compelling initiatives into funded realities.
Our customized services aim to enhance the capacity of
community groups, collaboratives, and organizations in need,
particularly those led by or focused on black, brown, and indigenous communities.
Coaching and Facilitative Leadership: We offer project-specific ongoing coaching for existing projects with a longer timeline or larger scope. These supports often include problem analysis, systems mapping, or other strategic thinking activities that strengthen collaboratives’ experience and comfort with applying diverse tactics to social problems. Our services include:
We conduct workshops using established participatory research methods that enable diverse perspectives to contribute, allowing groups to develop collaborative, thoughtful, qualitative solutions.
We specialize in managing resources to transform your project goals into reality, from careful planning to strategic organization.
We oversee the planning, organization, and execution of your project from start to finish to ensure you achieve your defined goals.
Capacity Building: We build skills, knowledge, resources, processes, and abilities to meet your organizational goals.
Pilot Facilitation: We are here to co-facilitate your journey towards breakthrough solutions. Our collaborative process combines human-centered design, systems thinking, and facilitative leadership, guiding you from the initial concept to a successful pilot launch.
We will demonstrate the feasibility of an idea or proposed solution, often before significant investment is made. This step is crucial in the development lifecycle, particularly for innovative or complex projects. We help validate the core idea, assess feasibility, identify potential risks, and secure stakeholder buy-in.
