Meet the team

A small + mighty team of experts.

Our consultants have spent their careers inside top-tier private and corporate foundations, leading grants management functions before advising others on them.

We pair deep grantmaking knowledge with a bespoke, human-centered approach, to help grantmakers design processes and systems that work. As strategic thinkers and thought leaders, we understand the grantmaking process from beginning to end, including the docket cycle and foundation culture.
