We Help You Navigate the Rapids
In even the calmest of rivers, the undercurrents can be complicated. Our approach is inspired by Henry David Thoreau: “Simplify, simplify, simplify.”
With extensive federal and nonprofit experience, we’ll help you distill complicated challenges into manageable pieces to achieve your objectives.
We offer support related to strategy, performance and impact measurement, facilitation, and fundraising.

Performance & Impact Measurement & Evaluation
Measurement and evaluation are powerful tools for boosting success and raising funds. We provide rigorous performance monitoring to help your organization navigate data and maintain a steady course toward strategic objectives. By distilling technical metrics into clear evidence of impact, we help you navigate the rapids, avoid the snags, and arrive at your take-out without flipping your kayak, raft, or paddleboard.
Fundraising
There are resources out there, ready to back your objectives - it’s a matter of how you tell your story, define your objectives, and demonstrate success. We have raised millions of dollars from the legislative and federal branches of the government and from private sources. Whether you are looking for grants, contracts, or major gifts, we’ll help you tailor your approach to maximize your appeal.
