Capacity Building
For public sector and philanthropic funders, supporting organizational capacity in the community based organizations they fund is critical, but standard “train and pray” approaches are inadequate. We use a consult and coach approach focused on CBO executive board leadership and tangible improvement in three core areas: Governance, Financial Management and Fund development. We assess, develop a workplan for measurable improvement and coach leadership to success
Impact Measurement
Impact measurement and management (IMM) is a fundamental need for every organization. Most organizations don’t have a system to measure and showcase their impact. Funders, state/local governments and CBOs all need to measure, report and improve the impact of their efforts. We build IMM systems that showcase your results, support strategic learning, raise more resources and achieve more impact. Get a free IMM Framework and start building your impact measurement system
Community Development
We help funders, impact investors and city development departments create a strategy and implement collective impact collaborations that engage developers to put persistent vacant lot inventories back on the tax rolls, rebuild neighborhoods and unlock the economic and social benefits that turn neighborhoods around
Movement Tech
Communities need decentralized organizing tools that help people take action, mobilize resources, and drive change. The future of organizing is distributed, agile, and resilient. We develop app tools that foster collective action by people without centralized control. Our Boycott Tracker app is an example of how we build movement tech
