We are a coalition of researchers with the shared purpose of using our academic training to propel social change that improves people’s lives. Led by Candace Kohli, PhD, we use the research, writing, and program design skills we honed at leading US universities to help mission-driven organizations grow their capacity to deliver high-impact programs.
We support all organizations working to meet people’s needs and improve lives. We specialize in working with healthcare organizations, educational institutions, and arts organizations.
Fundraising
We help nonprofits research grant opportunities and use persuasive, narrative-based writing to help funders understand and support the work you do. In addition to grant and report writing, we also offer grant coaching to build your staff's capacity to win and manage grants and can help you develop data collection tools to effectively demonstrate your organizational impact.
Organizational Development
We work with boards, staff, and volunteers to help organizations increase momentum and make space for innovation through strategy sprints and group facilitation methods that generate clarity of core purpose, criteria for priorities in work and resource allocation, and foster teamwork and collaboration between organizational stakeholders. We help you tap into the insights of your group to unleash big ideas.
Program Design & Training Support
We draw on educational principles to design effective, results-oriented programs. From needs assessment, through problem-based design, development, and evaluation, we can help you build high-impact programs that achieve real, measurable results. We're also educators; we provide curriculum and instructional design services to support staff and volunteer training to help organizations function more effectively.
