Mission
Produce positive change in the world by supporting nonprofits through grant writing, strategic planning, business planning, and capacity building.

Vision
Organizations gain short-term operating capacity, long-term sustainability, and increased impact through assessment, planning, and proposal development.

Values
  • Results: Planning and proposal development must produce demonstrable results in financial capacity, organizational capacity, and impact.
  • Analysis: Strong data and rigorous analysis supports successful decision making.
  • ROI: Reasonable hourly rates allow for sufficient time to produce informed, realistic, and actionable approaches. 
  • Work style:  Matching the partner’s work style and anticipating needs or gently nudging for improvements will result in the best work product.
  • Leadership support: Leaders can get up from the desk and out into their communities when they have someone to provide outstanding research, analysis, planning, and communications. 
  • Communications: Communicating clearly but with kindness supports stronger relationships and fully informed decisions.
  • We can enjoy our work: The choice to bring mindfulness and joy to our work can make us more effective—and happier. Listen, breathe, engage, and smile.


Philosophy
"Ultimately, my work is to support leadership, to help leaders get out of their offices and into their communities.  When leaders can focus strategically on building community, creating partnerships, engaging funders, empowering employees, building the board, supporting colleagues, and advocating for public policy, we produce better mission outcomes."
- Arthur Davis

“I believe the bottom line in leadership isn't how far we advance ourselves but how far we advance others. That is achieved by serving others and adding value to their lives...The best place for a leader isn't always the top position. It isn't the most prominent or powerful place. It's the place where he or she can serve the best and add the most value to other people.”
- John C. Maxwell
