As a nonprofit consulting firm, we provide the strategies and tools needed to build equitable and sustainable, high-performing organizations, working with 500 organizations each year. As we adjust to our new reality and work to bolster our team, organization, and sector, we are seeking a skilled, thoughtful, seasoned leader to join our team.

 Reflective Practice: We appreciate the big questions, tough discussions, and unexpected answers.

Power of Change: We believe that change is always possible and unleashes opportunity and the potential for creative solutions that improve communities.

Courage: We embrace bold ideas and risks that allow us to partner with clients as they overcome challenges and move toward change.
