Who We Serve

Foundations & Grantmakers

Leadership for grantmakers and foundations is rarely straightforward.

Leadership requires balancing the need for grantmaking that reflects mission, governance that makes decision-making accountable, operations that move resources quickly while staying accountable to values, and long-term commitments that endure beyond the urgency of daily decisions.

We help a range of grantmakers—including private, family, and public foundations, collaboratives, and pooled funds—reflect, realign, and strengthen their systems. By defining and improving strategies, governance, and systems, we create space for clarity and accountability, so they can move resources quickly and effectively while ensuring their work remains durable and true to the values of justice over time.
