Marian Wright Edelman
What motivates us:
The desire to see communities flourish and celebrate their distinctive characteristics and
the reality that all citizens can be engaged and effectively serve in their community.
Our Philosophy:
Pause for a moment to envision an “ideal” community. You’re part of it, right?
Successful communities require buy-in from
many stakeholders – colleagues, volunteers and consumers.
Planning
We start each engagement with a “sound check” of culture, values, and intended impact. Once completed, our offerings in the area of Planning include:
Strategy
Resource Development
Staff & Volunteer Development
Information Technology Optimization
Corporate Social Responsibility
Implementation
Our Implementation consulting is a side-by-side experience. Because we won’t always be at your side it’s important for you to know what to do and how to do it.

Operationalizing Strategic Plans & Monitoring Progress
Annual Fund, Major Gifts & Capital Campaigns

Grant making, Volunteerism and Community Engagement
