See how we work

Our approach to transformational grantmaking.

Whether we're forging a holistic operational plan, supporting your GMS implementation, or helping you stay ever-responsive to your changemakers with an ongoing support subscription, you can trust you're in good hands with hands that know good.

Looking across the four pillars of philanthropy ops—people, processes, data, and tech—we help you reimagine the "how" of great grantmaking, translating your lofty ambitions into blueprints for your future.

DESIGN

Translate your talk into your walk.

Committed to new technology or new ways of working but struggling to bring these to life? We bridge the gap between ideas and implementation, helping you translate values and strategy into blueprints for complex operational change.

  • Grantmaking Design
    Are you rethinking how you do your grantmaking? Looking to learn from peers and align your grantmaking principles and practices with your values? We'll help you re-imagine your "how" so it's powerfully connected to your "why", fuels deeper partnerships with your changemakers, and ensures great grantee and staff experience along the way.
  • Implementation Readiness
    Once you’ve chosen a new GMS, we seize the moment to renovate your ways of working. We then position you to confidently translate those ways into system requirements. This means smoother sailing during the implementation and ensures you capture the full potential of your new tech destination.
