We are driven by service to those driven to make change.
Since 1999, we have helped hundreds of people and organizations more effectively serve their community. Our passion has always been increasing their impact, and thus our own. Whether working with organizations, individuals, teams or families, we help you invest your finite time, capacity and resources more effectively, to deliver results best aligned with your values.
We seek impact by helping you increase your own.
We have served small community-based organizations and large, well-known ones – local, state and national. We have counseled community, family and corporate foundations. We have supported organizations that serve organizers, youth, education, the arts, economic development and human services.
Throughout, we have fought for a more just society. Never has that been more important than today.
Our clients work directly with one or both of us. Together, we bring a wide range of skills and more than seventy years of combined expertise. To every engagement, we apply decades of practice in building capacity, developing organizations and focusing on results.
Whatever your focus, wherever you live, let us help you increase your impact:
- Julia leads our work on:
- Tom leads our work on:
Beyond our expertise, our work is defined by core beliefs.
We believe, more strongly than ever:
- In making social, political, and cultural change in our communities, state and country.
- In the probable, more than the possible. We are proudly pragmatic.
- In balancing a disciplined deliberative process against the finite nature of time and resources. None of us can afford to waste either right now.
- In helping others be decisive and translate their intent into action, into impact.
Contact us. We look forward to discussing how we might help you better accomplish your goals.
