If you are a program officer or hold another foundation role, you know it’s a tough job moving forward an agenda while balancing the needs of stakeholders inside and outside of the foundation. Sometimes you need inspiration for your next big vision. Sometimes you need an extra pair of hands and a teammate. And sometimes the lack of information is a barrier. In all of these cases, we can support you to achieve your ambitious mission.
- Fill information gaps: Give our researchers a question about an issue, geography, or population and we’ll return a brief covering everything you need to know to make strategic decisions.
- Build partnerships: More and more, collaboration is seen as an underutilized tool for increasing impact. Work with us to help you build trusting relationships with grantees, as well as with other donors working on your issues.
- Promote systems change: We can help you understand the landscape and build programs and giving portfolios to address the root cause of an issue.
- Launch a new initiative: Sometimes solving the most complex problems requires a new approach and bringing in others. We are experts in setting up new structures and making the seemingly aspirational achievable through deep listening and partnership, implementing the work alongside you.
- Provide staffing support: When you are shorthanded or need a temporary solution for a colleague on leave or a sudden vacancy, we can join your team with the right expertise to help keep things moving smoothly.
