The nonprofits we count for.
Ten-plus sectors and counting, because the work travels. Every nonprofit has its own funding rhythm, board expectation, and regulatory reality, and reading a new one quickly is the skill. Every engagement is a 501(c)(3) or (c)(6). Named clients include the San Diego Food Bank, Philadelphia Zoo, Laguna Playhouse, American Swedish Institute, Institute for Public Strategies, Global Technology Industry Association, the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Foundation, and The International School of San Francisco.
One firm. Ten-plus sectors and counting.
Ten-plus sectors is not a lack of focus, it's what focus buys you. Because we work only with nonprofits, the patterns carry — a restricted-fund problem at a food bank rhymes with one at a museum. Human services, arts and culture, zoos and conservation, schools and education, community and public strategy, international affairs, associations, independent schools. Yours will fit.
