We specialize in disaster risk reduction and resiliency programming, strategic and communications planning and execution, and political strategy.
Working within the conservation, social justice, humanitarian, development, and education sectors, our areas of expertise include:
Resiliency Building and Risk Reduction
Community resilience has extraordinary value as a disaster readiness strategy.
We specialize in helping agencies and organizations develop disaster management programs and practices that reduce risk, improve response, and build community, organizational, and environmental resilience.
In particular, our work focuses on risk communications, capacity strengthening, sustainable disaster response and recovery, and the intersection of disaster philanthropy and community building.
Strategy Services
To create positive change in the world you must first know what you what to do, how you’re going to do it, and how to measure your impact.
We create clear, measurable, and scalable strategic, campaign, engagement, and program plans for any sized organization that guide them towards their goals.
And, to ensure your success, we’ll go beyond planning to guide your team as they execute the strategy by providing ongoing-facilitation and mid-course and post-project evaluation.
Communications and Engagement
Your constituent base is your key asset to affecting change. To engage them effectively you need to make your story compelling and to deliver it with impact.
